Abstract: A half thrust bearing for a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine is formed of a back metal layer and a bearing alloy layer to have a slide surface and two thrust reliefs. Each thrust relieve includes a first region, where the back metal layer is exposed, on a circumferential end surface side, and a second region, where the bearing alloy layer is exposed, on the slide surface side while the slide surface includes two third regions adjacent to the second region, and a fourth region between the two third regions. A circumferential end region consists of the first, second and third regions. In the second region and the third regions, the bearing alloy layer includes a uniform thickness portion at a radial center, and a decreased thickness portion adjacent to an inner-diameter-side end surface.

Abstract: Provided is a half bearing constituting a sliding bearing for a shaft member of an internal combustion engine that is unlikely to cause seizure in a sliding surface even if deflection or whirling of the shaft member occurs during an operation of the internal combustion engine. In a half bearing that constitutes a sliding bearing, a plurality of circumferential-direction grooves are formed to be adjacent to each other in a sliding surface including first and second curved surfaces with different curvatures, the sliding surface includes a plane portion that is parallel to an axial line direction and an inclined surface portion that is adjacent to the plane portion, the inclined surface portion is displaced from the plane portion toward an end portion of the sliding surface in the axial line direction such that the sliding surface successively comes close to a back surface, positions of maximum groove depths of the circumferential-direction grooves are located on groove center lines, the groove center lines in the inclined surface portion of the sliding surface are inclined relative to a vertical line toward the end portion of the sliding surface in the axial line direction, a groove inclination angle of the circumferential-direction grooves that are closest to the plane portion is a minimum angle, and the groove inclination angle successively increases toward the end portion of the sliding surface in the axial line direction.

Abstract: A sliding member includes a back-metal layer and a sliding layer on the back-metal layer, and the sliding layer has a sliding surface. The sliding layer includes a synthetic resin and fibrous particles dispersed in the synthetic resin. A volume ratio of the fibrous particles in the sliding layer is 1 to 15%, and the fibrous particles are made of semi-graphite having a nano indenter hardness of 1000 to 5000 MPa. An average aspect ratio of the fibrous particles is not less than 5, where an aspect ratio is defined as a ratio of a major axis to a minor axis of the fibrous particle viewed from the sliding surface. An average grain size of the fibrous particles in cross-sectional view perpendicular to the sliding surface is 5 to 50 μm.

Abstract: This half thrust bearing having a half-ring shape has: a sliding surface for receiving force in the axial direction; a back surface opposed to the sliding surface; and a resin covering layer on the sliding surface. The half thrust bearing is characterized in that the thickness of the resin covering layer is greatest at the circumferential central part of the half thrust bearing, and becomes lesser toward both circumferential ends of the half thrust bearing. The present invention also pertains to a thrust bearing, a bearing device, and an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: In order to enable a bearing system in which a plurality of bearings operate simultaneously or in association with each other to achieve an optimal overall performance: this bearing system is equipped with a bearing A and a measurement execution unit A therefor, a bearing B and a measurement execution unit B therefor, and a control unit for controlling the measurement execution unit A and the measurement execution unit B; the control unit transmits an instruction to the measurement execution unit A and the measurement execution unit B to enable execution of the performance required of the bearing system. The measurement execution unit A and the measurement execution unit B respectively operate the bearing A and the bearing B under an instructed operation condition. The relationship of an operation condition A of the bearing A and an operation condition B of the bearing B to an index, which indicates each of the operational states of the bearing A and the bearing B when the bearing A and the bearing B are operated under the operation conditions therefor, has been measured and saved in advance. The control unit references the relationship and accordingly transmits an instruction to the measurement execution unit A and the measurement execution unit B.

Abstract: A semi-cylindrical half bearing for a sliding bearing includes at least one axial groove formed on its inner circumferential surface that includes a smooth groove surface formed back away from the inner circumferential surface toward a radially outer side of the half bearing. The groove surface forms a convex curve toward the radially outer side in a cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the half bearing, and forms a straight line extending in the axial direction in a cross-section parallel to the axial direction. The half bearing further includes a plurality of axial narrow grooves formed on the groove surface so as to be back away from the groove surface toward the radially outer side, that extend in the axial direction of the half bearing.
