US Patent 11035411 Sliding parts

A pair of sliding parts has sliding faces S that slide with respect to each other in which at least the sliding face S on one side includes dimple groups 20 formed by arranging plural dimples 10, and the dimples 10 are arranged in such a manner that a radial-direction coordinate average of center coordinates of the dimples 10 of the dimple group 20 is smaller than a sliding radius Rm of the sliding face S. The sliding parts can improve a characteristic of suctioning from the leakage side to sliding faces, thereby providing excellent sealing property.
