BEARING

To provide a technology which can suppress the occurrence of a malfunction at a bearing resulting from a difference of thermal expansion amounts between a slide member and a housing.SOLUTION: A bearing 10 for pivoting a shaft Ax comprises a cylindrical slide member 20 configured to slide on a shaft when the shaft is pivotally supported by the bearing, a housing 30 for accommodating the slide member therein, and at least one elastic member 40 which is constituted so as to impart energization forces to the slide member and the housing so that the slide member does not come off from the housing. At least one elastic member is constituted so as to be deformed according to the difference of the thermal expansion amounts of the slide member and the housing when the slide member and the housing are expanded due to a rise of a temperature of the bearing.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】摺動部材とハウジングとの間の熱膨張量の差に起因して軸受に不具合が生じることを抑制することができる技術を提供する。【解決手段】軸受１０は、軸Ａｘを軸支するための軸受であって、軸受が軸を軸支した場合に当該軸に摺動するように構成された、円筒状の摺動部材２０と、摺動部材を内部に収容するハウジング３０と、摺動部材がハウジングから外れないように摺動部材及びハウジングに付勢力を付与するように構成された少なくとも１つの弾性部材４０と、を備え、少なくとも１つの弾性部材は、軸受の温度が上昇して摺動部材及びハウジングが熱膨張した場合に、摺動部材及びハウジングの熱膨張量の差に応じて変形するように構成されている。【選択図】図１
