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 10):
The sliding component according to  claim 3 , wherein the dimple includes a shape which has a radially fixed width and which circumferentially extends, and a downstream end of the positive pressure generation region and a downstream end of a connection region connecting the cavitation formation region and the positive pressure generation region are formed to be inclined downstream from the low-pressure fluid side to the high-pressure fluid side.
