ABSTRACT:
A process cartridge is detachably provided in an image forming apparatus having a main gear. The process cartridge includes a photoconductive unit and a rotatable unit, and a positioning member. The rotatable unit includes an unit body, an idler shaft, an idler gear attached to the idler shaft, a rotating gear coupled to the main gear via the idler gear, and a rotating member having a shaft and the rotating gear on the shaft of the rotating member. The positioning member positions the image carrying member and the rotating member with a predetermined distance therebetween, and includes an absorbing hole configured to reduce the effect of an external force, generated by a rotation of the main gear, applied from the main gear to the idler gear.
