Description

本発明は、等速ジョイント(CVJ)用グリース組成物及びこれを封入した等速ジョイントに関する。潤滑される等速ジョイント部分には、極めて高い面圧が発生し、ジョイント部分は、複雑なころがりすべり作用を受ける。このため、異常振動がしばしば発生する。本発明は、このような等速ジョイントを効率よく潤滑し、有効に摩擦を低減して振動の発生を防止し得る等速ジョイント用グリース組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a grease composition for a constant velocity joint (CVJ) and a constant velocity joint in which the grease composition is enclosed. An extremely high surface pressure is generated in the constant velocity joint portion to be lubricated, and the joint portion is subjected to a complicated rolling and sliding action. For this reason, abnormal vibrations often occur. The present invention relates to a grease composition for a constant velocity joint that can efficiently lubricate such a constant velocity joint and effectively reduce friction to prevent vibrations.

このような等速ジョイントに用いられている潤滑グリースとしては、カルシウムコンプレックス石けんを増ちょう剤とするグリースや、リチウム石けんを増ちょう剤とし、例えば、硫化油脂、トリクレジルホスフェート、及びジチオリン酸亜鉛からなる群から選択された硫黄−リン系極圧剤を含有したグリースが挙げられる。
最近の自動車工業においては、車両の環境対策(CO2削減)を目的とした軽量化かつ居住空間の確保の点から、4輪駆動(FFタイプ)車が急激に増加し、これに不可欠な等速ジョイント(CVJ)が広く用いられている。このCVJの中で、プランジング型等速ジョイント、特にトリポート型等速ジョイント(TJ)、ダブルオフセット型等速ジョイント(DOJ)等は、ある角度の付いた状態で、回転時に複雑なころがりすべり運動を行うため、軸方向にスライド抵抗を生じ、これがアイドリング時の振動、発進及び加速時の車体の横揺れ、特定速度での車内でのビート音、又はこもり音の起振源となっている。この問題の解決のため、種々の等速ジョイント(CVJ)自体の構造の改良もなされているが、ジョイントの占めるスペース、重さ、及びコスト面でその改良は難しく、振動低減性能に優れたグリースが要求されている。
Lubricating greases used in such constant velocity joints include greases using calcium complex soap as a thickener and lithium soap as a thickener, such as sulfurized fats and oils, tricresyl phosphate, and zinc dithiophosphate. Grease containing a sulfur-phosphorus extreme pressure agent selected from the group consisting of:
In the recent automobile industry, the number of four-wheel drive (FF type) vehicles has increased rapidly from the viewpoint of reducing the weight and securing the living space for the purpose of environmental measures (CO 2 reduction) of vehicles. Fast joints (CVJ) are widely used. Among these CVJs, plunging type constant velocity joints, especially tripod type constant velocity joints (TJ), double offset type constant velocity joints (DOJ), etc., have a complicated rolling sliding motion at an angle. For this reason, a slide resistance is generated in the axial direction, and this becomes a vibration source for idling vibration, vehicle body roll at start and acceleration, beat sound in a vehicle at a specific speed, or a booming sound. In order to solve this problem, the structure of various constant velocity joints (CVJ) itself has been improved, but it is difficult to improve the space, weight, and cost of the joint, and grease with excellent vibration reduction performance. Is required.

このため、ウレア系増ちょう剤、二硫化モリブデン、及び 酸化ワックスのカルシウム塩、石油スルホン酸のカルシウム塩、アルキル芳香族スルホン酸のカルシウム塩、サリシレートのカルシウム塩、フェネートのカルシウム塩、酸化ワックスの過塩基性カルシウム塩、石油スルホン酸の過塩基性カルシウム塩、アルキル芳香族スルホン酸の過塩基性カルシウム塩、サリシレートの過塩基性カルシウム塩、及びフェネートの過塩基性カルシウム塩からなる群から選択される少なくとも1種を含有する等速ジョイント用グリース組成物(特許文献1)や、さらにこれらの成分に加え、金属を含まない硫黄−リン系極圧剤、及びモリブデンジチオカーバメートを含有する等速ジョイント用グリース組成物(特許文献2)が提案されている。
また、基油、ジウレア系増ちょう剤、二硫化モリブデン、硫化ジアルキルジチオカルバミン酸モリブデン、石油スルホン酸のカルシウム塩、硫黄−リン系極圧剤、及び植物性油脂を含有する等速ジョイント用組成物も提案されている(特許文献3)。
しかし、従来の等速ジョイント用グリース組成物は、その摩擦係数低減効果及び振動発生防止効果は必ずしも十分とはいえない。
For this reason, urea-based thickeners, molybdenum disulfide, and calcium oxides of oxidized waxes, calcium salts of petroleum sulfonic acids, calcium salts of alkyl aromatic sulfonic acids, calcium salts of salicylates, calcium salts of phenates, and excess of oxidized waxes. Selected from the group consisting of basic calcium salt, petroleum sulfonic acid overbased calcium salt, alkyl aromatic sulfonic acid overbased calcium salt, salicylate overbased calcium salt, and phenate overbased calcium salt Grease composition for constant velocity joints containing at least one (Patent Document 1), and further for these constant velocity joints containing a metal-free sulfur-phosphorus extreme pressure agent and molybdenum dithiocarbamate in addition to these components A grease composition (Patent Document 2) has been proposed.
There is also a constant velocity joint composition containing a base oil, a diurea thickener, molybdenum disulfide, molybdenum disulfide dialkyldithiocarbamate, a calcium salt of petroleum sulfonic acid, a sulfur-phosphorus extreme pressure agent, and a vegetable oil. It has been proposed (Patent Document 3).
However, the conventional grease composition for constant velocity joints is not necessarily sufficient in the friction coefficient reduction effect and the vibration generation prevention effect.

The test was performed using a TE77 tester known as a tester. As a result, it has been found that there is a special relationship between the vibration using the constant velocity joint as the vibration source and the coefficient of friction measured under a specific vibration condition measured with a TE77 testing machine. Furthermore, the present inventors examined the above relationship by using urea grease as the base grease and various combinations of various extreme pressure agents and the like. As a result, base oil, urea-based thickener, sulfurized molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate, zinc dithiophosphate, zinc salt of dinonylnaphthalenesulfonic acid having a base number of 50 mgKOH / g or less, sulfur-phosphorus extreme pressure agent and vegetable oil It has been found that a grease composition containing a desirable lubricant characteristic with a low coefficient of friction, and even in a forced force test using an actual constant velocity joint, unlike conventional constant velocity joint grease, It was confirmed that the occurrence can be remarkably prevented, and the present invention has been completed.

(E) zinc dinonylnaphthalenesulfonate having a base number of 50 mgKOH / g or less (f) sulfur-phosphorus extreme pressure agent, and (g) at least one vegetable oil selected from the group consisting of castor oil and rapeseed oil.

上記(a)成分の基油としては、鉱物油、エーテル系合成油、エステル系合成油及び炭化水素系合成油等の通常に使用されている潤滑油またはそれらの混合油が挙げられるが、これらに限定されるものではない。コストの点から、鉱物油を用いるのが好ましく、また、鉱物油を主成分とし、これに合成油を混合した基油を用いるのが好ましい。
上記基油の100℃における動粘度は、好ましくは5〜30mm2/sであり、より好ましくは7〜20mm2/sである。5mm2/s未満では、等速ジョイント(CVJ)内で油膜を形成せず高速耐久性が不充分となる傾向があり、30mm2/sを超えるとCVJ内の発熱のため高速耐久性が低下する傾向がある。
Examples of the base oil of the component (a) include commonly used lubricating oils such as mineral oils, ether-based synthetic oils, ester-based synthetic oils and hydrocarbon-based synthetic oils, or mixed oils thereof. It is not limited to. From the viewpoint of cost, it is preferable to use a mineral oil, and it is preferable to use a base oil in which a mineral oil is a main component and a synthetic oil is mixed.
The kinematic viscosity at 100 ° C. of the base oil is preferably 5 to 30 mm 2 / s, more preferably 7 to 20 mm 2 / s. If it is less than 5 mm 2 / s, oil film is not formed in the constant velocity joint (CVJ) and high-speed durability tends to be insufficient. If it exceeds 30 mm 2 / s, high-speed durability is reduced due to heat generation in the CVJ. Tend to.

上記(b)成分のジウレア系増ちょう剤は、ジフェニルメタンジイソシアネートと炭素数8〜18のアルキルアミン、例えば、オクチルアミンとの反応により得られる。上記ジイソシアネートとアミンとを反応させる方法には特に制限はなく、従来公知の方法により実施することができる。   The diurea type thickener of the said (b) component is obtained by reaction with diphenylmethane diisocyanate and a C8-C18 alkylamine, for example, octylamine. There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the method of making the said diisocyanate and amine react, It can implement by a conventionally well-known method.

Obtained by sulfonation of aromatic hydrocarbon components in the fraction. When the base number exceeds 50 mgKOH / g, the friction coefficient tends to increase.

上記(g)成分の植物性油脂としては、特にひまし油が好ましい。
The component (f) is preferably a sulfur-phosphorus extreme pressure agent having a sulfur content of 15 to 35% by weight and a phosphorus content of 0.5 to 3% by mass, and adjusting the ratio of the sulfur component and the phosphorus component. By doing so, excellent wear prevention performance and anti-seizure performance can be exhibited. If the sulfur component is more than the above range, the joint is easily corroded, and if the phosphorus component is more than the above range, it is difficult to obtain the joint wear prevention effect. Moreover, when both are less than the said range, it will become difficult to fully exhibit the target wear prevention performance and image sticking prevention performance.
As the vegetable oil of component (g), castor oil is particularly preferable.
