A spindle includes a fixed member, a hub rotatably attached to the fixed member, and a bearing between the rotatable hub and the fixed member. The bearing including a bearing lubricant. A seal reduces migration of the bearing lubricant away from the bearing. The seal includes an immobile cylindrical surface of the fixed member, and a rotatable cylindrical surface of the hub. One of these surfaces includes a plurality of grooves. The immobile cylindrical surface and the rotatable cylindrical surface are concentric about the hub rotation axis. The rotatable cylindrical surface faces and is separated from the immobile cylindrical surface by a gas-filled radial clearance of not less than 50 microns.
1. A spindle comprising: a fixed member;a hub rotatably attached to the fixed member, the hub defining a hub rotation axis;a bearing between the rotatable hub and the fixed member, the bearing including a bearing lubricant; anda seal for reducing migration of the bearing lubricant away from the bear
