PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To integrally form a rubber seal and also an O-ring to reduce the manhours of assembling or the cost. SOLUTION: In an elastomer bearing having an outside surface 11 to be mounted on a housing and an inside surface 8 for supporting a rotating shaft, an annular lip part 9 protruded radially inward from one end side of the inside surface 8 is integrally formed to the circumferentially extended and annularly continued protruding part 10 of the outside surface 11. As the material of such a bearing with sealing function, a thermoplastic elastomer with a JIS-A hardness ranging from 70 to 90 or a thermoplastic elastomer-containing composition with a JIS-A hardness ranging from 70 to 90 is preferably used. |
