Sliding bearing

A thrust sliding bearing () includes an upper casing () which is made of polyacetal resin and has an annular lower surface (); a lower casing () which is made of a reinforced synthetic resin including, in addition to polyacetal resin, reinforcing fibers such as glass fibers contained in this polyacetal resin, is superposed on the upper casing () so as to be rotatable about an axis O of the upper casing () in an R direction, and has an annular upper surface () opposed to the annular lower surface () of the upper casing (); an annular thrust sliding bearing piece () which is made of polyacetal resin and is interposed between the annular lower surface () and the annular upper surface (); and a tubular radial sliding bearing piece () made of polyacetal resin.

Strut sliding bearing

A sliding bearing () includes an upper casing () which is made of polyacetal resin as a synthetic resin, has an annular surface (), and serves as a first bearing body; a second bearing body () which is made of a synthetic resin, is superposed on the upper casing () so as to be rotatable about an axis (O), and has an synthetic resin-made annular surface () opposed to the annular surface (); and a synthetic resin-made annular sheet () which is interposed between the annular surfaces () and () and slidably abuts against at least one of the upper casing () and the bearing body ().

A thrust sliding bearing includes an upper casing having a polyacetal resin-made flat annular surface and a lower casing superposed on the upper casing so as to be rotatable about an axis of the upper casing and having a polyacetal resin-made annular surface opposing the annular surface of the upper casing.

Thrust sliding bearing

A thrust sliding bearing () includes an upper casing () having an annular surface (); an annular lower casing () which is superposed on the upper casing () so as to be rotatable about an axis () of the upper casing () and has an annular surface () opposed to the annular surface () of the upper casing (); and an annular thrust sliding bearing piece () and an elastic ring () which are superposed on top of each other and are interposed between the annular surfaces () and ().

A synthetic resin-made sliding bearing () includes a synthetic resin-made lower casing (), a synthetic resin-made upper casing () superposed on the lower casing (), a synthetic resin-made disk-shaped thrust sliding bearing piece () disposed between the upper and the lower casings () and (), and a synthetic resin-made cylindrical radial sliding bearing piece () disposed between the upper and the lower casings () and ().
