Estimating the term…
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a low-friction sliding member having a sliding surface slidable relative to an opposing member via an oil, wherein the sliding surface has a plurality of texture groups, each of the texture groups consists of at least two adjacent fine recesses having portions aligned to each other in either a sliding direction or oil flow direction; a distance between the texture groups is larger than a distance between the adjacent recesses; and the texture groups is distributed uniformly over the sliding surface.
A low-friction sliding member comprising a sliding surface slidable relative to an opposing member via an oil, the sliding surface having a plurality of texture groups, each of the texture groups consisting of at least two adjacent fine recesses having portions aligned to each other in either a sliding direction or oil flow direction, a distance between the texture groups being larger than a distance between the adjacent recesses and the texture groups being distributed uniformly over the sliding surface.
A low-friction sliding mechanism comprising a pair of sliding members having sliding surfaces relative to each other via an oil, at least one of the sliding surfaces of the sliding members having a plurality of texture groups, each of the texture groups consisting of at least two adjacent fine recesses having portions aligned with each other in either a sliding direction or oil flow direction, a distance between the texture groups being larger than a distance between the adjacent recesses and the texture groups being distributed uniformly over the sliding member.
A production apparatus of a low-friction sliding member, the sliding member having a sliding surface formed with a plurality of texture groups, each of the texture groups consisting of at least two adjacent recesses, the production apparatus comprising:
A production process of a low-friction sliding member having a plurality of texture groups of at least two adjacent recesses, the production process comprising:
The production process of the low-friction sliding member, wherein the adjacent recesses of each texture group are formed by machining at least one of the recesses of each texture group, measuring a position of the machined recess, and then, determining a machining position of the other of the recesses based on a result of said measuring.
