Anti-vibration rubber member and production method thereof

Abstract

Provided is an anti-vibration rubber member wherein there is low friction resistance between the anti-vibration rubber member and a mating member, and a coating film is not prone to separation from a rubber elastic body, and a production method thereof. An anti-vibration rubber member absorbs at least a portion of the vibration of a mating member and has a sliding surface that is relatively in sliding contact with the mating member. The anti-vibration rubber member further includes: a rubber elastic body that is made of a self-lubricating rubber containing an elastomer and a bleeding lubricant; a coating film that covers at least a portion of a sliding inner surface that is among a surface of the rubber elastic body and disposed on an inner side of the sliding surface, contains a resin having a mercapto group, and is deformable to follow up deformation of the rubber elastic body, and a lubricating film that covers at least a portion of a surface of the coating film, is formed by the bleeding lubricant of the rubber elastic body penetrating the coating film and oozing onto the surface of the coating film, and forms at least a portion of the sliding surface.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
