A heating device is used in an image forming apparatus. In the heating device, a resin liver is provided between a core metal of a fixing roller and a ball bearing. The resin layer is adhered to the core metal so as to obviate a noise, caused by a rubbing of the resin layer against a ball bearing, which is otherwise produced when the resin layer is provided as a separate part. Between the resin layer and the ball bearing, a material of the resin layer is selected and the resin layer is configured to have a rough surface with a coefficient of dynamic friction of the surface of the resin which is a predetermined value, and thereby minimizing the production of the noise.
