Abstract
An annular sliding component disposed at a relative rotation point of a rotating machine, includes a plurality of positive pressure generation grooves arranged side by side in a circumferential direction on a sliding surface of the sliding component. The positive pressure generation grooves are configured for generating positive pressure by a sealing target fluid on the sealing target fluid side being introduced during the relative rotation of the sliding component and a sliding component. The positive pressure generation grooves have a plurality of leading edge portions at leading edges on a downstream side in a direction of the relative rotation. The plurality of leading edge portions are arranged side by side in the circumferential direction. At least part of the plurality of leading edge portions is disposed at different radial positions.
