Abstract Sliding door bearings for automobiles are used to support sliding doors and allow them to open and close smoothly. In recent years, the mounting location of sliding door bearings has been moving towards the exterior of the vehicle due to the expansion of the vehicle interior. This has worsened the water exposure environment, leading to a problem of rusting on the outside surface of the bearing.

This bearing is introduced below.
