Abstract: A sliding seismic isolation device includes a structure fixation plate having a first sliding surface and a metallic slider having a second sliding surface contacting the first sliding surface. A friction member composed of a single-layer fabric is attached to the first sliding surface, the second sliding surface, or both of the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface. One of a warp and a weft is formed of multiple plied yarns into which high-strength fibers and PTFE fibers are twisted together and the other of the warp and the weft is formed of multiple high-strength fibers in the single-layer fabric. The single-layer fabric has a twill weave and is woven such that the plied yarns of the one forming the single-layer fabric are exposed at a surface opposite from the attachment side of the friction member more than the high-strength fibers of the other forming the single-layer fabric.

Abstract: For providing a fabric that has a low frictional property and can exhibit long-term tribological properties even when the fabric is subjected to a high-speed frictional force under a high load, there is provided a fabric according to the present invention is a fabric in which a composite yarn of fluororesin fibers A and fibers B other than fluororesin fibers is used for at least one of a warp yarn and a weft yarn, and the fabric is characterized in that a mass ratio ? of the fluororesin fibers A in the composite yarn is 5 to 70%, and a ratio of the area ratio X of the fluororesin fibers in a fabric surface to a mass ratio Y of the fluororesin fibers in the fabric is 1 or more and 5 or less. This fabric can be usefully used for a cable cover for a robot arm.

Abstract: A sliding fabric has high wear resistance and can exhibit a long-term sliding property even when subjected to repetitive frictional force accompanied by shearing force. The sliding fabric is a single-layer plain-woven fabric configured to include fluororesin fibers A and at least one type of fibers B having a tensile strength of 10 cN/dtex or more, the sliding fabric having a ratio of 1.5 or more between an area ratio of the fluororesin fibers A on one surface thereof and an area ratio of the fluororesin fibers A on another surface.
