Abstract
An oil-impregnated sintered bearing comprises a bearing hole. In the bearing, sliding surfaces supporting an outer circumferential surface of a shaft and an oil supply surface whose diameter is larger than that of the sliding surfaces are formed on an inner circumferential surface of the bearing hole into which the shaft is inserted. The sliding surfaces and the oil supply surfaces are adjacent to each other in the axial direction of the bearing hole. A height gap 'd' between the sliding surfaces and the oil supply surface is not less than 0.01% and not more than 15% of an inner diameter of the sliding surfaces. A surface opening percentage of the sliding surfaces is not higher than 10%. A surface opening percentage of the oil supply surface is higher than 10%. An average circle-equivalent diameter of opening parts of pores on the sliding surfaces is not larger than 20 μm.
