- tetrafluoroethylene is exemplified as the material of the sheet 12, but other materials may be selected as long as the static / dynamic friction coefficient is low.
- the case where there are two sheets 12 is illustrated, but the number of sheets 12 may be one or three or more. If a plurality of sheets 12 are used, the effect of reducing the coefficient of friction between the soft elastic body 6 and the rotating member 2 is large. Therefore, a plurality of sheets 12 are preferable. However, if two sheets 12 are used, the configuration is simple and the necessary function can be achieved. Most desirable.
