Abstract
There are provided sliding components that allow sliding surfaces to smoothly slide against each other regardless of whether a relative rotation direction is a forward rotation or a reverse rotation. The sliding components and include: a pair of sliding surfaces and disposed to face each other at a location where a relative rotation takes place when a rotating machine is driven. The sliding surface is provided with a first dynamic pressure generating groove communicating with a radially outer-side space and extending in one circumferential direction, a second dynamic pressure generating groove extending in the opposed circumferential direction, and a conduit groove communicating with the space. The conduit groove includes an annular groove and a communication groove communicating between the annular groove and the space. The second dynamic pressure generating groove is disposed closer to the space than the annular groove, and communicates with the annular groove.
