Abstract:
A sliding component provides both functions of leakage prevention and lubrication in accordance with environments such as the type, temperature, and pressure of a sealed fluid and the sliding speed of a sliding face. Dimples  10  are provided in one of the sliding faces of a pair of sliding parts that slide relative to each other. Each of the dimples  10  has an upstream cavitation formation region  10 a  disposed close to the low-pressure fluid side and a downstream positive pressure generation region  10 b  disposed close to the high-pressure fluid side. The positive pressure generation region  10 b  has a downstream distal end at which a positive pressure relief groove  15  connecting the positive pressure generation region  10 b  and the high-pressure fluid side is provided, thereby being configured to control the ratio between the size of the cavitation formation region  10 a  and the size of the positive pressure generation region  10 b.

Claim (Index 9):
The sliding component according to  claim 3 , wherein the dimples circumferentially adjacent to each other are arranged such that the positive pressure generation region of the dimple located at the upstream side is radially overlapped with the cavitation formation region of the dimple located at the downstream side.
