Method for producing a sintered oil-impregnated bearings

There is provided an oil-impregnated sintered bearing which enable to prevent oil leakage from an outer peripheral surface 7 of an bearing body 2. The oil-impregnated sintered bearing 1 includes a bearing body 2 which is made of a porous sintered alloy containing vacancies 8 and has a bearing hole 3 in which a rotary shaft can be inserted, wherein the vacancies 8 opened on an outer peripheral surface 7 of the bearing body 2 are crushed. The vacancies 8 may be crushed in the state of a green compact P, or in the state of a sintered alloy after sintering the green compact P. Consequently, the oil leakage from the outer peripheral surface 7 of the bearing 1 can be prevented, and oil pressure in the bearing hole 3 can be preserved.
