Abstract:
A slide surface of a thrust bearing includes a planar portion, a taper portion, and a pocket portion. The pocket portion includes a bottom surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface. The first side surface is formed on the side of the taper portion. The second side surface is formed on a side opposed to the first side surface. A depth from the plane of the planar portion to the thinnest portion of the taper portion is between 10 μm and 80 μm. A first angle that is an angle between a virtual surface obtained by extending the bottom surface and the second side surface is between 90° and 120°. And a second angle that is an angle between a virtual surface obtained by extending the first side surface and the tapered surface is between 60° and 120°.

Claim (Index 1):
A thrust bearing having a slide surface in a circular ring shape or a half-split circular ring shape, the thrust bearing comprising:\n a planar portion having a plane on the slide surface where a wall thickness is constant; a taper portion having a tapered surface on the slide surface where a wall thickness gradually decreases from an end portion of the planar portion toward a prescribed sliding direction; and a pocket portion on the slide surface, the pocket portion comprising:\n a bottom surface in which a wall thickness is thinner than a thinnest portion of the taper portion; \n a first side surface formed on the side of the taper portion; and \n a second side surface formed on a side opposed to the first side surface, \n wherein the planar portion, the taper portion and the pocket portion are disposed in order along the sliding direction on the slide surface, wherein a depth from the plane of the planar portion to the thinnest portion of the taper portion is between 10 \u03bcm and 80 \u03bcm, wherein a first angle that is an angle between a virtual surface obtained by extending the bottom surface and the second side surface is between 90\u00b0 and 120\u00b0, and a second angle that is an angle between a virtual surface obtained by extending the first side surface and the tapered surface is between 60\u00b0 and 120\u00b0.
