Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a grease composition and its use for rolling bearings of the automotive electrical equipment and automotive auxiliaries.
  • diurea based greases For the rolling bearings of the automotive electrical equipment and automotive auxiliaries, diurea based greases have been widely used, especially from the viewpoint of the heat resistance. In the diurea based greases, aromatic diurea compounds are frequently used on the grounds of their durability under high temperatures.
  • the aromatic diurea compounds should be added in larger amounts than other diurea compounds to render the same hardness to a resultant grease composition.
  • the resistance to stirring of the resultant grease becomes too high to satisfy low torque performance.
  • JP 6-17079 A proposes a grease composition characterized by comprising a base oil which contains an ether type synthetic oil in an amount of more than 50 mass%; and at least one diurea compound represented by the following general formula as a gelling agent of one essential component: R 2 -NHCONH-R 3 wherein R 1 is a bivalent aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms; and R 2 and R 3 , which may be the same or different represent cyclohexyl group, a cyclohexyl-derived group having 7 to 12 carbon atoms, or an alkyl group having 8 to 20 carbon atoms, with the content of cyclohexyl group or the derived groups thereof, as expressed by formula: [((the number of the cyclohexyl groups or the derived groups thereof) / (the number of the cyclohexyl groups or the derived groups thereof + the number of the al
  • the phenyl ether oil used as the base oil has a pour point of about -30°C, so that the low temperature properties are not so satisfactory. This will increase the torque at low temperatures.
  • JP 2008-239706 A proposes a grease composition characterized by comprising a base oil which contains an ester type synthetic oil; and a thickener represented by the following general formula as one essential component: R 1 -NHCONH-R 2 -NHCONH-R 3 wherein R 2 is a bivalent aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms; and R 1 and R 3 , which may be the same or different represent cyclohexyl group or an alkyl group having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, with the content of cyclohexyl group, as expressed by formula: [((the number of the cyclohexyl groups) / (the number of the cyclohexyl groups + the number of the alkyl groups)) x 100] being 60 to 95%.
  • the ester type synthetic oil is subjected to hydrolysis when water penetrates from the outside and is mixed in, whereby the resultant acid component will unfavorably involve a risk of rust development.
  • EP-A-1 953 213 describes a grease composition for a constant velocity joint, said composition comprising the following components (a) to (g):
  • the synthetic ester oil (b) should be present in an amount of 5 to 40% by mass, based on the total mass of the composition.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a low torque grease composition having excellent rust preventing properties.
  • the low torque performance can be ensured under the circumstances of low temperature by using a low pour point synthetic hydrocarbon oil in an amount of 30 mass% or more of the base oil.
  • a low pour point synthetic hydrocarbon oil in an amount of 30 mass% or more of the base oil.
  • an aliphatic diurea is used alone or in combination with an alicyclic diurea to obtain a grease composition having a proper hardness even though the total amount of thickener is decreased.
  • the inventors of the invention have thus solved the above-mentioned problems by choosing and combining a particular base oil, a thickener and a rust inhibitor. Namely, the invention provides the following grease composition:
  • the grease composition of the invention can exhibit low torque performance within a wide temperature range, thereby improving fuel economy to contribute to reduction of CO 2 .
  • the grease composition of the invention also shows excellent rust preventing properties. Further, the resistance to evaporation of the grease composition according to the invention is also excellent.
  • the base oil used in the invention comprises a synthetic hydrocarbon oil and a highly purified mineral oil with a pour point of -35°C or less.
  • the ratio by mass of the synthetic hydrocarbon oil to the highly purified mineral oil with a pour point of -35°C or less is 100:0 to 30:70.
  • the content of the synthetic hydrocarbon oil in the base oil is 30 mass% or more, the low torque performance can be satisfied.
  • Examples of the synthetic hydrocarbon oil include poly- ⁇ -olefin, polybutene, ethylene- ⁇ -olefin oligomer and the like. Particularly, poly- ⁇ -olefin is preferred.
  • the highly purified mineral oil used in the invention is referred to as a mineral oil provided with a pour point lower than the pour points (about -5 to -20°C) of unpurified mineral oils by carrying out a dewaxing step to control the wax components from precipitating at low temperatures.
  • the highly purified mineral oil with a pour point of -35°C or less can be used without any adverse effect on the low torque performance at low temperatures and any problem in the resistance to evaporation.
  • the base oil may preferably have a kinematic viscosity at 40°C of 80 to 150 mm 2 /s, more preferably 85 to 140 mm 2 /s, and most preferably 90 to 130 mm 2 /s.
  • the kinematic viscosity at 40°C of the base oil exceeds 150 mm 2 /s, the grease viscosity becomes too high to satisfy the low torque performance.
  • the kinematic viscosity at 40°C of the base oil is less than 80 mm 2 /s, the resistance to evaporation will unfavorably be lowered although the requirement of low torque performance can be satisfied.
  • the synthetic hydrocarbon oil may comprise the one having a kinematic viscosity at 40°C of 300 mm 2 /s or more.
  • the kinematic viscosity of the base oil can be adjusted within a predetermined range, with the low torque performance at low temperatures being satisfied without impairing the resistance to evaporation.
  • the highly purified oil may comprise the one having a kinematic viscosity at 40°C of 80 to 130 mm 2 /s, more preferably 80 to 110 mm 2 /s.
  • the low torque performance can be satisfied, and at the same time, the resistance to evaporation can be improved.
  • the pour point of the synthetic hydrocarbon oil may preferably be -35°C or less. In this case, the low torque performance at low temperatures is satisfactory.
  • the grease composition optionally further comprises other base oil components that can be used in combination with the synthetic hydrocarbon oil
  • the other base oil components are selected from the group consisting of ether type synthetic oils such as alkyldiphenyl ethers, polyglycol type synthetic oils such as polypropylene glycol, silicone type synthetic oils, and fluorine type synthetic oils.
  • Ester type synthetic oils are not desirable because hydrolysis may be caused when water is mixed into the grease from the outside, as previously mentioned.
  • the ester type synthetic oils have pour points of as high as about -30°C, so that the torque will become high at low temperatures.
  • the polyglycol type synthetic oils, silicone type synthetic oils and fluorine type synthetic oils are poor in the lubricating properties and expensive.
  • Examples of the thickener commonly used in the grease compositions include metallic soaps containing lithium, sodium or the like, and non-soaps such as Benton, silica gel, diurea compounds, fluorine-containing thickeners such as polytetrafluoroethylene and the like.
  • the metallic soaps are not satisfactory in terms of the heat resistance, that is, the lubricating life of bearings at high temperatures; Benton and silica gel have poor water resistance; and the fluorine-containing thickeners are considerably expensive and lacking in versatility although the heat resistance is satisfactory.
  • the grease composition of the invention comprises a thickener represented by the above formula (1).
  • the content of alkyl groups in the above-mentioned formula (1) expressed as [(the number of moles of the alkyl groups) / (the number of moles of the alkyl groups + the number of moles of the cyclohexyl groups)] x 100 is 30 to 100%.
  • the content of alkyl groups is less than 30%, the amount of thickener will increase to unfavorably fail to achieve the low torque performance.
  • the amount of thickener (B) in the grease composition according to the invention may be preferably 10 to 20 mass%, and more preferably 12 to 17 mass%, from the viewpoint of low torque performance.
  • the grease composition of the invention comprises as the rust inhibitor an alkenylsuccinic anhydride.
  • the above-mentioned rust inhibitor can work to disperse water content even if water permeates into the grease from the outside.
  • the grease composition of the invention can further comprise an organic zink sulfonate.
  • the organic zinc sulfonate is a zinc salt of sulfonic acid having an organic lipophilic group.
  • the sulfonic acid includes petroleum sulfonic acids obtainable by sulfonation from an aromatic hydrocarbon moiety in the lubricating oil distillate or a petroleum fraction with a high boiling point, synthetic sulfonic acids such as dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid, heavy alkylbenzene sulfonic acid and the like.
  • an organic zinc sulfonate represented by the following formula (2) is preferable.
  • [R 4 - SO 3 ] 2 Zn (2) (wherein R 4 is an alkyl group, alkenyl group, alkylnaphthyl group, dialkylnaphthyl group, alkylphenyl group or a residue from the high-boiling petroleum fraction, and the above-mentioned alkyl or alkenyl group may be a straight-chain or branched group having 2 to 22 carbon atoms.)
  • zinc dioctyl naphthalenesulfonate zinc dinonyl naphthalene sulfonate, zinc didecyl naphthalenesulfonate, zinc petroleum sulfonate, zinc salt of highly basic alkylbenzenesulfonate and the like can be used.
  • zinc dinonyl naphthalenesulfonate is most preferable.
  • alkenylsuccinic anhydride alkenylsuccinic anhydrides having an alkenyl group with 6 to 18 carbon atoms can preferably be used.
  • the alkenylsuccinic anhydrides having an alkenyl group with 10 to 15 carbon atoms are preferable.
  • the amount of rust inhibitor (C) in the grease composition according to the invention may be preferably 0.1 to 3 mass%, and more preferably 0.5 to 2 mass% in order to ensure the rust preventing properties under the circumstances where salt water may permeate.
  • the grease composition of the invention may further comprise additives generally used in the conventional grease compositions.
  • the additives include an antioxidant such as amine-based and phenol-based antioxidants; an inorganic passivator such as sodium nitrite or the like; a rust inhibitor such as amine-based and carboxylate-based rust inhibitors; a metallic corrosion inhibitor such as benzotriazole or the like, an oiliness improver such as fatty acids, fatty acid esters, phosphates and the like; a phosphorus-containing, sulfur-containing or organic metal-containing antiwear agent or extreme-pressure agent; and a solid lubricant such as oxidized metal salts, molybdenum disulfide or the like.
