Abstract
A sintered member having an annular shape, includes: a first face facing one side in an axial direction; a second face facing the other side in the axial direction; an inner peripheral face connected to an inner peripheral edge of the first face; and a plurality of tooth groups and a plurality of tooth-missing parts which are alternately disposed along a circumferential direction of the inner peripheral face. The second face includes a plurality of ball grooves arranged in parallel in the circumferential direction. Each tooth group includes a plurality of spline teeth that are continuous in the circumferential direction of the peripheral face. The number of plurality of tooth-missing parts is the same as the plurality of ball grooves. Positions in a radial direction in which the plurality of tooth-missing parts are formed are within ranges in the radial direction in which the ball grooves are formed.
