The resin sheet is made of a thermoplastic resin, for example, a polytetra fluoroethylene, as a main component mixed with a wear-resistant improving material, for example, graphite or the like. The resin sheet is formed with a pattern of dynamic pressure generating grooves formed in an inner surface by plastic work. The pattern of grooves is varied depending on the types of relative movement between the outer cylinder and a shaft body, i.e., whether an axial linear movement, a rotational movement, or a spiral movement.

A spindle unit includes the bearing and a spindle made of an alloy containing aluminum as a main element. The bearing has a superior wear resistance, frictional characteristic and molding accuracy of the inner cylinder. The superior frictional characteristic of the inner cylinder allows a relatively soft spindle to be used in a spindle unit.
