<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a roller unit capable of easily and inexpensively restraining the abnormal wear or shaving of a contact surface caused by the rotation of a tracking roller, and an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The roller unit has the developing roller R arranged to be opposed to a photoreceptor drum 1 on which electrostatic image information is formed and equipped with the rotary shafts on both sides, and the tracking roller Ta (Tb) inserted through the developing roller R so as to hold a gap between the photoreceptor drum 1 and the developing roller R to be constant, and also capable of rotating in contact with the photoreceptor drum 1. The contact surface F1 of the developing roller shaft 101 with the tracking roller Ta (Tb) is worked to be a rough surface. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
