Description

本発明は、鉄道車両の主電動機軸受用グリースに関し、高温高速条件でも優れた潤滑寿命を示す潤滑グリース組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a grease for a main motor bearing of a railway vehicle, and relates to a lubricating grease composition that exhibits an excellent lubricating life even under high temperature and high speed conditions.

鉄道車両の主電動機は、車両の高速化や省エネ化、低騒音化、省保守化など特に環境に配慮したニーズが高まってきている。現在主電動機の主流である誘導電動機は、小型・軽量化、高出力化を実現したが、一方で使用条件が厳しくなったことから、軸受の発熱が大きいという問題がある。また可動部が軸受部分だけであることから、保守周期はこの軸受の寿命に依存することになる。
1個以上のヒドロキシル基を有する炭素数12〜24のヒドロキシ脂肪酸と炭素数2〜12の脂肪族ジカルボン酸のリチウム塩とを増ちょう剤として使用し、40℃の動粘度が300〜500mm2/sの油と40℃の動粘度が80〜300mm2/sの油と40℃の動粘度が20〜80mm2/sの油の三成分が必須成分であってかつ当該三成分を必須成分とする40℃における動粘度が80〜200mm2/sである油を基油として使用することにより高温高速における軸受潤滑寿命を延長させ、また軸受の発熱を少なくした鉄道車両軸受用グリースが提案されている(特許文献1)。
軸受の発熱を少なくすることは、軸受潤滑寿命を延長させる上で重要であるが、電動機自体が発熱するためその影響で軸受部も高温にさらされることになり、グリースの耐熱性が劣ると早期に劣化し、焼付寿命に至ってしまう。
また高温高速用グリースとしては、自動車の電装、補機軸受用で合成油ウレアグリースが多く使用されているが、主電動機では円筒ころ軸受を使用しており、この潤滑にはウレアグリースでは満足な潤滑寿命を得ることが出来ない。
There is a growing need for environmentally friendly main motors for railway vehicles, such as speeding up, energy saving, noise reduction, and maintenance saving. Induction motors, which are currently mainstream of main motors, have been reduced in size, weight, and output, but on the other hand, due to stricter use conditions, there is a problem that heat generation of the bearing is large. Further, since the movable part is only the bearing part, the maintenance cycle depends on the life of the bearing.
A hydroxy fatty acid having 12 to 24 carbon atoms having one or more hydroxyl groups and a lithium salt of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 2 to 12 carbon atoms is used as a thickener, and the kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C. is 300 to 500 mm 2 / and s oil and 40 ° C. kinematic viscosity of 80~300mm 2 / s of the oil and 40 ° C. kinematic viscosity of 20 to 80 mm 2 / s of the essential components a and and the ternary three component essential component of the oil The use of oil with a kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C of 80 to 200 mm 2 / s as the base oil has been proposed to extend the lubrication life of bearings at high temperatures and high speeds, and to reduce the heat generated by the bearings. (Patent Document 1).
Reducing bearing heat generation is important for extending the lubrication life of the bearing. However, the motor itself generates heat, and as a result, the bearing part is also exposed to high temperatures. It will deteriorate to a seizure life.
As high-temperature and high-speed grease, synthetic oil urea grease is often used for automobile electrical equipment and auxiliary bearings, but the main motor uses cylindrical roller bearings. This lubrication is satisfactory with urea grease. Cannot get a lifetime.

(a)増ちょう剤
本発明で使用する増ちょう剤は、一般的にはリチウムコンプレックスと呼ばれており、リチウム石けんと比較すると耐熱性に優れるという特徴を有する。
本発明の増ちょう剤を構成する炭素数12〜24のヒドロキシ脂肪酸としては、12−ヒドロキシステアリン酸が最も好ましい。その他のものとしては、12−ヒドロキシラウリン酸、16−ヒドロキシパルミチン酸等が挙げられる。
本発明の増ちょう剤を構成する炭素数2〜12の脂肪族ジカルボン酸としては、アゼライン酸が最も好ましい。その他のものとしては、セバシン酸、シュウ酸、マロン酸、コハク酸、グルタル酸、アジピン酸、ピメリン酸、スペリン酸、ウンデカン二酸、ドデカン二酸等が挙げられる。
本発明で使用する増ちょう剤としては、とりわけ、12−ヒドロキシステアリン酸とアゼライン酸のリチウムコンプレックスが好ましい。

(Preparation of grease composition)
In 426.2 g of base oil, 127.5 g of 12-hydroxystearic acid was added and heated to a temperature (80 to 90 ° C.) at which a completely transparent liquid state was obtained. To this, add 19.5 g of lithium hydroxide monohydrate to 100 g of water in advance and dissolve by heating. Then, saponification of 12-hydroxystearic acid is performed with vigorous stirring to form lithium salt of 12-hydroxystearic acid. did.
Next, 42.5 g of azelaic acid was added and stirring was continued until a uniform state was achieved. A solution prepared by adding 19.5 g of lithium hydroxide monohydrate to 100 g of water and dissolving it by heating was added thereto, and saponification reaction of azelaic acid was performed with vigorous stirring. After about 60 minutes, it was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy that no unreacted fatty acid was absorbed, and the saponification reaction was terminated.
Next, the heating process was started and the contents were gradually heated to 200 ° C. When the temperature reached 200 ° C., 364.8 g of the remaining base oil was added, and the mixture was cooled to room temperature as it was, and passed through a three-stage roll once to obtain a base grease. The final content was 1000 g.
In accordance with Tables 1 and 2, an antioxidant and a base oil were added to the above base grease, and a three-stage roll was passed twice to obtain grease compositions of Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6.
