There is provided a double-sided sliding thrust bearing of a plate shape adapted
to be in sliding contact with a counterpart on each of both faces of the thrust
bearing, comprising a bearing structure provided with a plate-shaped base member
having an anchor effect on each of both faces thereof, and a sliding layer having
a thickness not less than 30 m on each of the faces of said base member
which sliding layer is made of a thermosetting resin-containing material. By making
the thickness of the sliding layer 10 not less than 30 m, it becomes
possible for the thrust bearing 1 to slide shoes for a longer time even
when being used in a dry state and the sliding layer 10 comes to be hardly
peeled off from the base member 2 because of the anchor effect of the base
member 2. Further, the mechanical strength and thermal conductivity of the
thrust bearing 1 can be improved by the base member 2 located between
the sliding layers 10.
