Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ester lubricating base oil for fluid bearings reduced in decomposition of the lubricating base oil when a spindle motor is used, and a spindle motor using the lubricating base oil.SOLUTION: A mixed ester in which polyalkylene glycol diester and 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol diester are mixed at a specific ratio is used as the lubricating base oil for fluid bearings.

Description

The present invention relates to a lubricant base oil for a fluid bearing and a spindle motor.

In motors mounted on HDDs (hard disk drives) and the like, ball bearings and roller bearings were used as bearings. However, in recent years, fluid bearings have been developed in response to demands for motor miniaturization, low vibration and low noise. As hydrodynamic bearings, hydrodynamic bearings and sintered oil-impregnated bearings have been put into practical use.

The hydrodynamic bearing supports the rotating shaft by the oil film pressure of the lubricating oil interposed in the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the shaft and the inner peripheral surface of the sleeve, and has a dynamic pressure groove on at least one of the outer peripheral surface of the shaft and the inner peripheral surface of the sleeve. The sliding surface of the rotating shaft is levitated and supported by a lubricating oil film formed by the dynamic pressure effect. The sintered oil-impregnated bearing is provided with a lubricating oil on a porous body made of sintered metal or the like. Alternatively, a self-lubricating function is provided by impregnation with lubricating grease.

Spindle motors equipped with fluid dynamic bearings have been used with higher performance AV / OA devices and the widespread use of portable devices. In recent years, there has been a strong demand for higher speeds and smaller sizes. There is a request. In order to meet the demand for lowering the torque, a lubricating base oil having a relatively low viscosity has been selected. Low-viscosity lubricant base oils include synthetic hydrocarbon base oils such as poly-α-olefins, ester base oils such as aliphatic dibasic acid diesters, neopentyl polyol esters, and fatty acid monoesters. Lubricating base oils for fluid bearings used have been proposed (Patent Documents 1 to 8).

Among them, ester-based lubricant base oils that are excellent in viscosity characteristics, heat resistance, conductivity, and the like are often used as lubricant base oils for fluid bearings.

There are several types of ester-based lubricating base oils, each with different properties such as viscosity characteristics, heat resistance (volatility resistance), and conductivity, and heat resistance (volatility resistance) as the viscosity decreases. Tend to be inferior. Therefore, simply selecting an ester-based lubricant base oil with a lower viscosity than the current one in order to reduce the torque of the fluid bearing will impair the heat resistance (volatility resistance) and reduce the durability of the fluid bearing. I will let you.

In addition, the ester-based lubricating base oil is gradually decomposed when the spindle motor is used, which may cause a problem when the spindle motor is used for a long time.

Is recommended. When the kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C. is less than 5 mm ² / s, a tendency to decrease the lubricating performance is recognized, and when it exceeds 20 mm ² / s, a tendency to increase the energy loss is recognized. In addition, the said kinematic viscosity is a value obtained by the method described in the postscript Example.

The viscosity index of the lubricating base oil of the present invention is preferably 130 or more, more preferably 140 or more, and particularly preferably 150 or more. The higher the viscosity index, the better the viscosity-temperature characteristics. In addition, the said viscosity index is a value obtained by the method described in the postscript Example.

The low temperature characteristics of the lubricating base oil of the present invention can be evaluated by, for example, the pour point by a low temperature fluidity test. The pour point of the lubricating base oil of the present invention is preferably 0 ° C. or less, more preferably −10 ° C. or less, and particularly preferably −20 ° C. or less. The lower the pour point, the better the low temperature fluidity. The pour point is a value obtained by a low temperature fluidity test described in Examples below.

The heat resistance of the lubricating base oil of the present invention can be evaluated by, for example, the amount of volatilization by a heat resistance test. The volatilization amount of the lubricating base oil of the present invention is preferably less than 5% by weight, more preferably less than 2% by weight, especially less than 1.5% by weight. The smaller the volatilization amount, the better the heat resistance. In addition, the said volatilization amount is a value obtained in the heat resistance test described in the postscript Example.

The conductivity of the lubricating base oil of the present invention can be evaluated by, for example, volume resistivity. The volume resistivity of the lubricating base oil of the present invention is preferably 3.0E + 13 Ω · cm or less, more preferably 1.0E + 13 Ω · cm or less, and particularly preferably 5.0E + 12 Ω · cm or less.

The wear scar diameter is preferably 0.60 mm or less, more preferably 0.58 mm or less, and particularly preferably 0.55 mm or less. The smaller the wear scar diameter, the better the lubricity. In addition, the said wear scar diameter is a value obtained by the lubricity test described in the postscript Example.

The stability of the lubricating base oil of the present invention when using a spindle motor is evaluated, for example, by measuring the increased amount of the partial ester (the compound in which one ester group of the diester compound is hydrolyzed) after the lubricity test. can do. The increase amount of the partial ester after the lubricating oil test is preferably 0.10 GC area% or less, more preferably 0.08 GC area% or less, particularly preferably 0.06 GC area% or less. The smaller the increase in the partial ester, the better the stability of the lubricating base oil. In addition, the increase amount of the said partial ester is a value obtained by the increase amount measurement of the partial ester described in the postscript Example.

Also, the stability when using the spindle motor can be evaluated by the increase in acid value after the lubricity test. The amount of increase in acid value after the lubricating oil test is preferably 0.60 mgKOH / g or less, more preferably 0.55 mgKOH / g or less, and particularly preferably 0.50 mgKOH / g or less. The smaller the acid value increases, the better the stability of the lubricating base oil. The amount of increase in the partial acid value is a value obtained by measuring the amount of increase in total acid value described in Examples below.

The lubricating oil base oil for fluid bearings of the present invention is suitably used as a lubricating oil base oil for hydrodynamic bearings or sintered oil-impregnated bearings.

[Esterification reaction]
Examples of the method for producing the ester represented by the general formula (1) or the general formula (2) according to the lubricating base oil of the present invention include polyalkylene glycol or 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol and fat.
