Abstract

A squeeze film damper bearing device includes an annular space that is defined between an outer periphery of an outer race, an inner periphery of a bearing retaining member, and a pair of seal rings and forms a squeeze film, and an annular adjustment groove that is formed in the inner periphery of the bearing retaining member that is sandwiched by the pair of seal rings. A depth in a radial direction of the adjustment groove gradually decreases down to zero from a middle side in an axial direction of the adjustment groove in going toward at least one end side in the axial direction.
