SLIDE BEARING

摘要

A slide bearing having a simple configuration and low friction torque. A slide bearing (1) for supporting heat rollers, such as a fixing roller and a pressing roller which are used for an image forming device, the slide bearing (1) comprising an outer ring (3) and an inner ring (2). Either the outer ring (3) or the inner ring (2) consists of resin, and the other consists of a sintered metal. The outer peripheral surface of the inner ring (2) is a convex surface, and the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring (3) is a concave surface corresponding to the convex surface. The outer ring (3) is bisected in the radial direction, and the inner ring (2) is sandwiched between the bisected halves of the outer ring (3). The inner peripheral surface of the outer ring (3) and the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring (2) are in sliding contact with each other.
