More Information
Summary:The invention provides a fixing device capable of stably driving belt members and an image forming apparatus with the same. The fixing device (10) includes a rotator (22) as a solid of revolution, a fixing belt (21) as a fixing member, and a fixing nip-forming member (25) provided inside a loop of the fixing belt to together form the fixing nip (N) with the rotator (22) via the fixing belt, and a sliding fiber component (31) placed between the fixing nip-forming member and the fixing belt to retain lubricant and render the fixing belt to smoothly slide thereon. The fixing device (10) fixes an unfixed image onto a recording medium (S) by heating the recording medium (S) conveyed to a fixing nip (N).The sliding fiber component (31) includes a first fibrous layer (32) contacting the fixing belt (21) and a second fibrous layer (33) closer to the fixing nip-forming member (25) than the first fibrous layer (32). The second fibrous layer (33) has less fiber density than the first fibrous layer (32).
