Abstract:
A slide bearing (1) is provided with an upper case (2) attached to an upper support for attaching a strut assembly to a vehicle body, a lower case (3) which is rotatably combined with the upper case (2) and which forms an annular space (7), and an annular center plate (4) and sliding sheet (5) disposed in the annular space (7). The upper case (2) has a load-transmitting surface (27) constituting part of an upper surface of the annular space (7), the center plate (4) is provided with an annular recess (43) filled with a lubricant, and the center plate (4) has a bearing surface (41) for supporting loads exerted on the load-transmitting surface (27). The sliding sheet (5), which is disposed between the load-transmitting surface (27) and the bearing surface (41), has a sliding surface (51) that slides against the bearing surface (41). The sliding sheet (5) is formed of a thermoplastic plastic, and the center plate (4) is formed from a thermoplastic elastomer having a lower modulus of elasticity than the thermoplastic plastic.
