    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image holding member, a charging device that charges a surface of the image holding member and includes a charging member disposed in contact with the surface of the image holding member, an exposure device that forms a latent image by exposing the charged surface, a developing device that forms a toner image by developing the latent image with toner, and a transfer device that transfers the toner image formed to a recording medium. An amplitude Af with a period Lf (mm) satisfying the formula (F−5)≤(V/L)≤(F+5) is 0.80 μm or less where F is the natural frequency (Hz) of the exposure device, V is the rotational peripheral velocity (mm/s) of the charging member, and L is the period (mm) in analysis of the circumferential direction period of the surface shape of the charging member.

    Abstract: A power transmission apparatus includes a first pulley and a second pulley. A belt is extended around them. A supply unit supplies a voltage such that the first pulley and the belt are electrostatically attracted and that the second pulley and the belt are electrostatically attracted. The belt includes a conductor layer. At least one pulley includes a first electrode to which a first voltage is applied and a second electrode that is insulated from the first electrode and to which a second voltage is applied. An insulating layer or a dielectric layer is arranged between the conductor layer of the belt and the first electrode of the at least one pulley and an insulating layer or a dielectric layer is arranged between the conductor layer of the belt and the second electrode of the at least one pulley.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a charging section configured to charge a surface of an image bearing member; an air-intake duct having an air-supply port, and configured to guide air sucked from an outside to the charging section through the air-supply port; an exhaust duct having an air-intake port, and configured to suck air around the charging section through the air-intake port and eject the air thus sucked. The air-intake duct has a configuration in which air guided to the charging section through the air-supply port flows in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the charging section, or flows toward a center of the charging section in the longitudinal direction.
