    Abstract: In a half thrust bearing for a crankshaft, a slide surface includes at least two oil grooves extending in a radial direction, pad surfaces located on both circumferential sides of each oil groove, a first inclined surface formed on a forward side of the oil groove in a rotation direction of the crankshaft, and a second inclined surface formed on a backward side of the oil groove in the rotation direction. Each of the first and second inclined surfaces has a circumferential length which varies along the radial direction and includes a ridge portion at a radial position where the circumferential length is minimum. The axial thickness of each of the first and second inclined surfaces is maximum at the ridge portion in the radial direction and become smaller from the ridge portion toward a radially inner end and toward a radially outer end.

    Abstract: A bearing device includes a piston arranged in a cylinder of a rotor, and a half bearing mounted on the piston to support a roller. The piston includes a recessed holding surface, and holding side surfaces on both axial sides thereof. Each holding side surface includes a ridge portion having an arc-shaped or elliptic-arc-shaped profile protruding toward a radially inner side of the piston. The half bearing includes a partially cylindrical portion, and protruding portions protruding from axial end faces thereof. Each protruding portion has a protruding portion end face which includes a central recessed surface, and two support recessed surfaces located on both circumferential sides thereof, that have an arc shape or an elliptic arc shape to correspond to the profile of the ridge portion, so that only the two support recessed surfaces are in contact with the ridge portion.

    Abstract: Provided is a half bearing constituting a sliding bearing that is unlikely to cause damage during an operation of an internal combustion engine. The half bearing includes at least one protrusion, and the protrusion projects outward in a radial direction from an outer circumferential surface. A recessed portion that is recessed inward in the radial direction from the outer circumferential surface is formed over the entire inner-circumferential length between the protrusion and a circumferential-direction end surface of the half bearing. Two radial-direction grooves are formed in the circumferential-direction end surface of the half bearing relative to the protrusion, and each of the radial-direction grooves is adjacent to each of recessed portion side surfaces. The radial-direction grooves extend in the radial direction along the recessed portion side surfaces and are separated from the recessed portion at a midpoint of the extension. An inner circumferential surface-side end portion in an extending direction of the radial-direction grooves is located between a recessed portion bottom surface and an inner circumferential surface of the half bearing. A groove width and a groove depth of the radial-direction grooves decrease from the position separated from the recessed portion toward the inner circumferential surface-side end portion and reach zero at the inner circumferential surface-side end portion.

    Abstract: A sliding member includes a back-metal layer including an Fe alloy and a sliding layer including a copper alloy including 0.5 to 12 mass % of Sn and the balance of Cu and inevitable impurities. A cross-sectional structure of the sliding layer includes first copper alloy grains in contact with a bonding surface and second copper alloy grains not in contact with the bonding surface. The first and second grains have an average grain size D1 and D2 respectively. D1 is 30 to 80 μm; and D1/D2=0.1 to 0.3. In the cross-sectional structure, the second grains includes third grains that includes internal grains therein that are not in contact with a grain boundary of the third grains. A total area S1 of the third grains and a total area of the second copper alloy grains S2 satisfy: S0/S2=0.25 to 0.80.
