Bushing and rotation support device using the same

摘要

A lubrication groove is formed on a sliding face of a bushing, both ends of which open to the same end face of the bushing. The lubrication groove has inclined portions that extend from the openings in directions that approach each other, and a parallel portion that is in communication with the ends of the inclined portions via curved portions. Oil is guided to the lubrication groove so as to form an oil film on the sliding face. Sealability is achieved because the lubrication groove only opens to one end face of the bushing.
