Abstract
A bearing capable of satisfying demands for cost reduction and further quietness, and stably maintaining high support accuracy. A sliding bearing () includes an inner member () having a mounting surface () with respect to a rotary shaft (), and an outer member () being arranged on a radially outer side of the inner member (). A radial bearing gap is formed between an outer peripheral surface () of the inner member () and an inner peripheral surface () of the outer member (), and a lubricating oil is interposed in the radial bearing gap. Further, between the inner member () and the outer member (), sealing gaps (S, S) for maintaining an oil level of the lubricating oil on both axial sides of the radial bearing gap are formed. At least a part of the mounting surface () of the inner member () is made of a metal.
