Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、高速で摺動して、その摩擦係数が長期間にわたって低く維持され、特に、光ディスク装置等のスピンドルモータ用に適した焼結含油軸受に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
CD−ROMやDVD−ROM等のディスク回転装置のスピンドルモータに用いられる軸受としては、ハウジング内に軸方向に間隔をあけて二つの軸受面を設けた滑り軸受構造のものがある。この二つの軸受面は、ハウジングに2個の焼結含油軸受を圧入したり、あるいは両端側に軸受面をもち、中間部を軸より大径の中逃げ部とした1個の焼結含油軸受をハウジングに圧入した構造である。
スピンドルモータは、回転数が数千回転以上と他の軸受要素に比べて高く、またその軸受は、ディスクが搭載されることによるアンバランス荷重が加わり、荷重負荷が周方向に移動する振れ周りを生じるため、油膜の形成が困難になるため摩擦係数が高くなり、摩耗の進行が速まる等の問題を生じ易い欠点をもっている。
【0003】
このような事情に対処するため、軸とのなじみ性や耐摩耗性を有する青銅系合金や鋼鉄合金からなる多孔質焼結軸受に含浸するための潤滑油の改良が種々提案されている。
例えば、特開平9−125086号公報に記載のように基油がポリオレフィンとポリオールエステルの混合物、特開平10−36870号に記載のように、ポリ−α−オレフィン又はその水素化物を基油とし、OH基を有する脂肪酸同士又はOH基を有する脂肪酸とOH基を有しない脂肪酸とが縮合した2量体以上のオキシ脂肪酸オリゴマーであるエストリドとアルコールとのエステルを配合したもの、特開平11−269475号公報に記載のように、ポリ−α−オレフィン又はその水素化物の基油に、リン酸エステルを配合したもの等が挙げられる。
これらの潤滑油を含浸した焼結軸受は摩擦係数が低く、長時間の運転を持続するものとして提案されている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この種の軸受要素は、ますます使用回転数が上昇しており、また、モータの消費電力がより少なくなるような低摩擦であることが求められている。
この発明は、焼結含油軸受の摩擦係数を低減し、その低い摩擦係数が長期間持続する耐久性がある焼結含油軸受を提供し、スピンドルモータの品質を向上させることを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明の焼結含油軸受は、ポリ−α−オレフィンを基油とし、炭素数14〜20の脂肪族1価アルコール(好ましくはオレイルアルコールを主体とする)を組成物全体の1〜12質量%含有する潤滑油組成物を含浸したことを特徴とする。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の内容を更に詳細に説明する。
(1)焼結軸受
焼結軸受材料は、青銅系、鉄系、鉄鋼系、黄銅−鉄系などに適用することができるが、スピンドル軸受用としては、青銅−鉄系複合材料又は黄銅−鉄系複合材料が好ましい。
有効多孔率は、軸受要素の構造によって適宜決定されるが、5〜25%程度とされている。
焼結含油軸受は、平滑な摺動面のもの、両端の内周を摺動面とし中間部を軸径より大径にした中逃げ形状のもの、摺動面部に油溝や動圧溝が形成されているもの、摺動画が内周面と端面の両方にあるもの等が含まれる。
それらの軸受は、粉末成形、焼結、サイジング、油含浸を含む通常の工程で製造される。摺動面は、開口した気孔量をサイジングによって減少させたものが好ましい。また動圧溝は、軸方向と平行なもの、へリングボーン模様のものなど適宜であり、この場合、溝面は気孔が少ないことが望ましい。
【0007】
(2)潤滑油の基油
基油のポリ−α−オレフィンは、滑り軸受の含浸に用いる潤滑油に必要な潤滑特性、耐熱性、低温特性、熱安定性等を兼ね備えており、各種の鉱油に比べて優れている。
基油のポリ−α−オレフィンは、種類や各種性状について特に制限はないが、例えば炭素数6〜14のα−オレフィンのオリゴマー、エチレン−プロピレン共重合体などのエチレン−α−オレフィン共重合体や1−デセンのオリゴマーを例示することができる。選択の指標としては動粘度が挙げられる。動粘度が低すぎると耐荷重性、耐揮発性等に劣ることがあり、動粘度が高いものは低温における流動性が悪くなり、運転初期の摩擦係数が高くなるおそれがあるので、40℃における動粘度が5〜100mm/秒の範囲にあるものが好ましい。
また、別の指標として、潤滑特性及び高温安定性を確保するために、粘度指数の高いものを選択することが望ましく、粘度指数は110以上が目安である。これに関連して、低温域の粘度特性を考慮して、流動点が−30℃以下のものを選択することが望ましい。
【0008】
(3)潤滑油に含まれる油性剤
本発明の軸受用潤滑油は前記基油に油性剤その他の添加剤を配合した組成物として用いられ、油性剤として、炭素数14〜20の脂肪族1価アルコールが潤滑油組成物全体の1〜12質量%添加されたものである。炭素数14〜20の脂肪族1価アルコールとしては、下記のもの等が挙げられるが、これらの中でスピンドル軸受の使用条件に特に適しているものはオレイルアルコールである。
下記の(1)〜(3)は脂肪族飽和アルコール、(4)と(5)は脂肪族不飽和アルコールである。またこれらは、複数のアルコールの混合物として添加することもできる。
(1)ミリスチルアルコール(テトラデシルアルコール)
CH(CH)12CHOH (C1430O)
(2)セチルアルコール(ヘキサデシルアルコール)
CH(CH)14CHOH (C1634O)
(3)エイコシルアルコール
CH(CH)18CHOH (C2042O)
(4)オレイルアルコール (cis−9−オクタデセニルアルコール)
CH(CH)CH=CH(CH)CHOH (C1836O)
(5)エライジルアルコール(trans−9−オクタデセニルアルコール)
CH(CH)CH=CH(CH)CHOH (C1836O)
脂肪族1価アルコールを基油に混合した潤滑油組成物は、より低摩擦の潤滑特性を示す。その理由は、脂肪族1価アルコール自体も滑り特性を有するが、従来潤滑油に混合されているポリオールエステル等のエステル系の油性剤に比べて分子量が小さく、金属(軸受摺動面)への吸着力が比較的低くなることから、より薄い油膜を形成することに起因するものと考えられる。
油性剤の含有量は、潤滑油組成物全体の1〜12質量%の範囲である。含有量が1質量%から潤滑効果が認められ、添加量の増加に伴って潤滑特性が向上してより低摩擦になる。ただし、含有量が多い場合、低温における流動性が低下すること、高湿度の環境では水分により特性が変化するおそれがあること、使用する温度が比較的高くアルコール分が揮発するような場合では潤滑特性に変化を生じるおそれがあること等により12質量%を越えないことが望ましい。なお8〜10質量%がさらに好ましい。
【0009】
(4)その他の添加剤
焼結軸受に含浸する前記潤滑油組成物には、その他に潤滑性向上(粘度指数向上)剤、腐蝕抑制(金属不活性化)剤、酸化防止剤などを含むものが好ましい。
【0010】
潤滑性向上(粘度指数向上)剤としては、ポリメタクリレート、ポリイソブチレン等が挙げられるが、ポリメタクリレートが低温特性等の点で特に好ましい。添加量は潤滑油組成物全体の1〜5質量%の範囲が適当である。少ない場合は粘度指数の向上が少なく、多すぎると粘度が高くなりすぎるおそれがある。また、ポリメタクリレートを添加することによって潤滑性が向上する。含有量が1質量%で効果が認められ、添加量の増加と共にその効果が増加するが、過剰に添加してもそれ以上の効果を伴わないことから5質量%以下とすることが望ましい。
また、分子量が比較的大きく、粘度が比較的高いものの方が潤滑性向上の点から好ましい。
【0011】
腐蝕抑制(金属不活性化)剤としては、例えば、ベンゾトリアゾール及びその誘導体が挙げられる。金属表面に不活性被膜を作る作用と酸化防止作用がある。その添加量は潤滑油組成物全体の0.05〜2質量%程度である。
また、酸化防止剤としては、例えば、2,6−ジ−t−ブチルフェノール(4,4’−メチレンビス)や2,6−ジ−t−ブチル−4−メチルフェノール等のフェノール系、ジオクチルジフェニルアミンやフェニル−α−ナフチルアミン等のアミン系が挙げられる。基油への溶解性の点から、フェノール系では2,6−ジ−t−ブチルフェノール(4,4’−メチレンビス)、アミン系ではジオクチルジフェニルアミンが好ましい。添加量は潤滑油組成物全体に対し0.05〜2質量%程度である。
【0012】
【実施例】
次に、本発明を実施例により更に具体的に説明する。
(1)軸受素材
軸受材料は、日立粉末冶金(株)製のEAK材を用いた。この材料は、組成が、質量でFe:45%、Sn:2%、黒鉛:0.5%、Cu及びその他:残部であり、鉄と青銅の混合組織中に黒鉛が分散している焼結合金で、原料粉のうちCuの一部として銅箔粉を用いて作られているので、銅合金で鉄粒子を包み込んだ金属組織を呈している。
軸受は、圧粉成形し、成形体を鉄に炭素が侵入せずに銅と錫が合金化する温度で焼結し、サイジングにより、両端部に軸受部があり中間部が軸受部より大径の中逃げ形状に造形される。
【0013】
(2)含浸油
基油としてポリ−α−オレフィンを97.7質量%、フェノール系酸化防止剤を0.1質量%、ベンゾトリアゾール系腐蝕防止剤を1.1質量%、及び潤滑性向上剤としてポリメタクリレートを1.1質量%混合した潤滑油素剤を作製した。
この潤滑油素剤に油性剤としてオレイルアルコールを全体組成の1〜12質量%の範囲で混合した4種類の潤滑油組成物を調整した。
また、比較する潤滑油組成物は、前記の潤滑油素剤に、油性剤としてリン酸エステルを全体組成の10質量%になるように混合したものを用いた。
【0014】
(3)油含浸
前記の軸受素材に各種の潤滑油組成物を真空含浸した。
【0015】
(4)性能評価方法
図1は、試験装置の構造を模式的に示した縦断面図である。軸受1は中逃げ形状をしており、ハウジング2に圧入されている。ハウジング2はコップ状で、内底部はスラスト受け3であり、シャフト4の球面をスラスト受けしている。ハウジング2の外周にはコイル7が巻かれたコアを備えており、シャフト4の上部には内周にマグネット5を備えたロータヨーク6及びロータ8が固定されている。コイル7に通電することによって、シャフト4を軸としてロータヨーク6が回転する構造のスピンドルモータである。シャフト4は、直径3mmである。
このスピンドルモータのロータ8面に接着樹脂で錘を固定し、回転アンバランスを0.9g・cmとし、回転数9000rpmのときの電流値、及び電圧12Vとしたときの回転数をそれぞれの軸受について測定した。
【0016】
(5)測定結果
回転数9000rpmのときの電流値(A)及び電圧12Vのときの回転数は表1の通りである。
ポリ−α−オレフインを基油とし、油性剤としてリン酸エステルを含む潤滑油組成物を含浸したものに比べて、油性剤としてオレイルアルコールを含む潤滑油組成物を含浸したものは、モータの回転に要する電流が少なく、一定電圧を与えたときの回転数が多くなっており、後者の方が潤滑摺動特性が優れていることが分かる。含有量がそれぞれ10質量%で比較すると、前者に対して後者が電流値では約20%少なく、同転数では約8%大きい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sintered oil-impregnated bearing that slides at a high speed and has a low coefficient of friction for a long period of time, and is particularly suitable for a spindle motor such as an optical disk apparatus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a bearing used for a spindle motor of a disk rotating device such as a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM, there is a sliding bearing structure in which two bearing surfaces are provided in the housing with an interval in the axial direction. These two bearing surfaces are one sintered oil-impregnated bearing that press-fits two sintered oil-impregnated bearings into the housing, or has bearing surfaces at both ends, and the middle part is a large relief part with a larger diameter than the shaft. Is press-fitted into the housing.
The spindle motor has a rotational speed of several thousand revolutions or more compared to other bearing elements, and the bearing is subjected to an unbalanced load due to the mounting of the disk, and the load load moves around the circumference where it moves in the circumferential direction. As a result, it is difficult to form an oil film, so that the coefficient of friction is increased, and there is a drawback that problems such as accelerated wear are likely to occur.
[0003]
In order to cope with such a situation, various improvements of lubricating oil for impregnating a porous sintered bearing made of a bronze alloy or steel alloy having compatibility with a shaft and wear resistance have been proposed.
For example, the base oil is a mixture of a polyolefin and a polyol ester as described in JP-A-9-125086, and the base oil is a poly-α-olefin or a hydride thereof as described in JP-A-10-36870, A blend of an ester of estolide and an alcohol, which is a dimer or higher oxyfatty acid oligomer in which fatty acids having an OH group or fatty acids having an OH group and a fatty acid not having an OH group are condensed, JP-A-11-269475 As described in the publication, there may be mentioned those obtained by blending a phosphate ester with a base oil of poly-α-olefin or a hydride thereof.
Sintered bearings impregnated with these lubricating oils have been proposed as having a low coefficient of friction and sustaining long-time operation.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
This type of bearing element is required to have a low friction so that the number of rotations used is increasing and the power consumption of the motor is reduced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a sintered oil-impregnated bearing that reduces the friction coefficient of the sintered oil-impregnated bearing and has a durability in which the low coefficient of friction lasts for a long period of time, thereby improving the quality of the spindle motor.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The sintered oil-impregnated bearing of the present invention is based on poly-α-olefin as a base oil and an aliphatic monohydric alcohol having 14 to 20 carbon atoms (preferably mainly composed of oleyl alcohol) in an amount of 1 to 12% by mass of the total composition. It is characterized by impregnating the contained lubricating oil composition.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the contents of the present invention will be described in more detail.
(1) Sintered bearings Sintered bearing materials can be applied to bronze, iron, steel, brass-iron, etc., but for spindle bearings, bronze-iron composite materials or brass-iron A composite material is preferred.
The effective porosity is appropriately determined depending on the structure of the bearing element, but is about 5 to 25%.
Sintered oil-impregnated bearings have a smooth sliding surface, a medium relief shape with the inner periphery of both ends as a sliding surface and an intermediate part larger than the shaft diameter, and oil grooves and dynamic pressure grooves on the sliding surface part. Those that are formed, those that have sliding images on both the inner peripheral surface and the end surface, and the like are included.
These bearings are manufactured by conventional processes including powder molding, sintering, sizing, and oil impregnation. The sliding surface is preferably one in which the amount of open pores is reduced by sizing. In addition, the dynamic pressure groove is appropriately parallel to the axial direction, herringbone pattern, etc. In this case, it is desirable that the groove surface has few pores.
[0007]
(2) Base oil base oil poly-α-olefins have the lubricating properties, heat resistance, low temperature characteristics, thermal stability, etc. necessary for the lubricating oil used for impregnation of sliding bearings. Compared to
The poly-α-olefin of the base oil is not particularly limited in terms of type and various properties, but, for example, an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer such as an oligomer of an α-olefin having 6 to 14 carbon atoms or an ethylene-propylene copolymer. And oligomers of 1-decene. An index for selection is kinematic viscosity. If the kinematic viscosity is too low, load resistance, volatilization resistance, etc. may be inferior. If the kinematic viscosity is high, the fluidity at low temperatures may deteriorate and the coefficient of friction at the initial stage of operation may increase. Those having a kinematic viscosity in the range of 5 to 100 mm 2 / sec are preferred.
As another index, it is desirable to select one having a high viscosity index in order to ensure lubrication characteristics and high-temperature stability, and the viscosity index is 110 or more. In this connection, it is desirable to select one having a pour point of −30 ° C. or lower in consideration of the viscosity characteristics in the low temperature region.
[0008]
(3) Oiliness Agent Included in Lubricating Oil The bearing lubricating oil of the present invention is used as a composition in which an oiliness agent and other additives are blended with the base oil, and the oiliness agent is an aliphatic 1 having 14 to 20 carbon atoms. A monohydric alcohol is added in an amount of 1 to 12% by mass of the entire lubricating oil composition. Examples of the aliphatic monohydric alcohol having 14 to 20 carbon atoms include the following, among which oleyl alcohol is particularly suitable for the use conditions of the spindle bearing.
The following (1) to (3) are aliphatic saturated alcohols, and (4) and (5) are aliphatic unsaturated alcohols. They can also be added as a mixture of a plurality of alcohols.
(1) Myristyl alcohol (tetradecyl alcohol)
CH 3 (CH 2) 12 CH 2 OH (C 14 H 30 O)
(2) Cetyl alcohol (hexadecyl alcohol)
CH 3 (CH 2 ) 14 CH 2 OH (C 16 H 34 O)
(3) Eicosyl alcohol CH 3 (CH 2 ) 18 CH 2 OH (C 20 H 42 O)
(4) Oleyl alcohol (cis-9-octadecenyl alcohol)
CH 3 (CH 2) 7 CH = CH (CH 2) 7 CH 2 OH (C 18 H 36 O)
(5) Elidyl alcohol (trans-9-octadecenyl alcohol)
CH 3 (CH 2) 7 CH = CH (CH 2) 7 CH 2 OH (C 18 H 36 O)
A lubricating oil composition in which an aliphatic monohydric alcohol is mixed with a base oil exhibits lower frictional lubrication characteristics. The reason for this is that aliphatic monohydric alcohol itself also has sliding properties, but has a lower molecular weight than conventional ester-based oily agents such as polyol esters mixed in lubricating oil, and is suitable for metals (bearing sliding surfaces). This is considered to be due to the formation of a thinner oil film because the adsorptive power becomes relatively low.
Content of an oiliness agent is the range of 1-12 mass% of the whole lubricating oil composition. A lubrication effect is recognized from a content of 1% by mass, and the lubrication characteristics improve with an increase in the amount added, resulting in lower friction. However, if the content is high, fluidity at low temperatures may decrease, characteristics may change due to moisture in a high-humidity environment, and lubrication may occur when the temperature used is relatively high and the alcohol content volatilizes. It is desirable not to exceed 12% by mass due to the possibility of changes in properties. In addition, 8-10 mass% is further more preferable.
[0009]
(4) Other additives The lubricating oil composition impregnated in the sintered bearing further includes a lubricity improving (viscosity index improving) agent, a corrosion inhibitor (metal deactivation) agent, an antioxidant and the like. Is preferred.
[0010]
Examples of the lubricant improving agent (viscosity index improving agent) include polymethacrylate, polyisobutylene and the like, and polymethacrylate is particularly preferable in view of low temperature characteristics. The addition amount is suitably in the range of 1 to 5% by mass of the entire lubricating oil composition. If the amount is too small, the improvement of the viscosity index is small. If the amount is too large, the viscosity may be too high. Moreover, lubricity improves by adding a polymethacrylate. The effect is recognized when the content is 1% by mass, and the effect increases as the addition amount increases. However, even if added excessively, the effect is not accompanied, and therefore it is desirable to be 5% by mass or less.
Further, those having a relatively large molecular weight and a relatively high viscosity are preferred from the viewpoint of improving lubricity.
[0011]
Examples of the corrosion inhibitor (metal deactivator) include benzotriazole and its derivatives. Has an effect of forming an inert film on the metal surface and an antioxidant effect. The addition amount is about 0.05 to 2% by mass of the whole lubricating oil composition.
Examples of the antioxidant include phenols such as 2,6-di-t-butylphenol (4,4′-methylenebis) and 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol, dioctyldiphenylamine, Examples include amines such as phenyl-α-naphthylamine. From the viewpoint of solubility in a base oil, 2,6-di-t-butylphenol (4,4′-methylenebis) is preferred for phenolic systems, and dioctyldiphenylamine is preferred for amine-based systems. The addition amount is about 0.05 to 2% by mass with respect to the entire lubricating oil composition.
[0012]
【Example】
Next, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples.
(1) Bearing material EAK material manufactured by Hitachi Powdered Metals Co., Ltd. was used as the bearing material. This material has a composition of Fe: 45% by mass, Sn: 2%, graphite: 0.5%, Cu and other: the balance, and a burned bond in which graphite is dispersed in a mixed structure of iron and bronze Since it is made of gold using copper foil powder as a part of Cu in the raw material powder, it presents a metal structure in which iron particles are wrapped with a copper alloy.
The bearing is compacted, and the compact is sintered at a temperature at which copper and tin are alloyed without carbon intruding into the iron. By sizing, the bearing is at both ends and the middle is larger in diameter than the bearing. It is shaped into the shape of the inner relief.
[0013]
(2) 97.7% by mass of poly-α-olefin, 0.1% by mass of phenolic antioxidant, 1.1% by mass of benzotriazole corrosion inhibitor, and a lubricity improver as impregnated base oil As a lubricating oil base material, 1.1 mass% of polymethacrylate was mixed.
Four types of lubricating oil compositions were prepared by mixing oleyl alcohol as an oily agent in the range of 1 to 12% by mass with respect to the total composition.
Moreover, the lubricating oil composition to be used was prepared by mixing the above lubricating oil base material with a phosphoric ester as an oily agent so as to be 10% by mass of the total composition.
[0014]
(3) Oil impregnation The above bearing material was vacuum impregnated with various lubricating oil compositions.
[0015]
(4) Performance Evaluation Method FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view schematically showing the structure of a test apparatus. The bearing 1 has a middle relief shape and is press-fitted into the housing 2. The housing 2 is cup-shaped, and the inner bottom portion is a thrust receiver 3, which receives the spherical surface of the shaft 4. A core around which a coil 7 is wound is provided on the outer periphery of the housing 2, and a rotor yoke 6 and a rotor 8 having a magnet 5 on the inner periphery are fixed to the upper portion of the shaft 4. This is a spindle motor having a structure in which the rotor yoke 6 rotates around the shaft 4 by energizing the coil 7. The shaft 4 has a diameter of 3 mm.
A spindle is fixed to the surface of the rotor 8 of the spindle motor with an adhesive resin, the rotation imbalance is 0.9 g · cm, the current value at a rotation speed of 9000 rpm, and the rotation speed at a voltage of 12 V for each bearing. It was measured.
[0016]
(5) Measurement result The current value (A) when the rotational speed is 9000 rpm and the rotational speed when the voltage is 12 V are as shown in Table 1.
The oil impregnated with the lubricating oil composition containing oleyl alcohol as the oily agent compared to the one impregnated with the lubricating oil composition containing poly-α-olefin as the base oil and the phosphate ester as the oily agent Therefore, it can be seen that the number of revolutions when a constant voltage is applied is increased, and that the latter has better lubricating sliding characteristics. When the contents are respectively compared at 10% by mass, the latter is about 20% less in current value and about 8% larger in the number of rotations than the former.
