Description

【0001】
本発明は転がり軸受用保持器の製造方法に関し、特に、転動体の組み込みが容易で、しかも耐熱性に優れた冠型の転がり軸受用樹脂製保持器を製造することのできる方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
転がり軸受用の樹脂製保持器の材質としては、従来、コストや生産性および機械的特性等からポリアミド樹脂が多用されていたが、ポリアミド樹脂は150℃以上の環境下で使用することはできず、このような150℃以上の高温の環境下で使用可能な樹脂材料としては、従来、比較的安価なポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂(以下、PPS樹脂と称する)が知られている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、転がり軸受用の樹脂製保持器に高温対応樹脂であるPPS樹脂を用いた場合には、以下に示す問題がある。
すなわち、玉軸受用の保持器においては、転動体(ボール)を保持するポケット部が球面の一部により構成されることが最も好ましいのであるが、そのためには、射出成形工程において成形品を撓ませて離型する、いわゆる無理抜きをする必要がある。PPS樹脂をはじめとする高温対応樹脂は一般に靱性に乏しく、この無理抜きによって破損する場合がある。
【0004】
特に、図1に外観斜視図を示し、図2(A)にその要部正面図を、同図(B)にはそのポケット11の中心を通る縦断面図を例示するように、ポケット11内にボールを方持ち状に保持すべく、基低部10から互いに対向する2本の爪部12a,12bを突出させてポケット壁体を構成した冠型保持器においては、開放端であるポケット11の入口部の開口寸法(対向する各爪部12a,12bの先端部間の距離)Aが、ポケット最大径(ポケット11の球面の直径)Bよりも10%程度小さいアンダーカット状となっており、離型時に爪部12a,12b等が破損してしまうという問題がある。
【0005】
また、このような球面状のポケットを有する樹脂製保持器においては、一般に、組み立て工程において、各ポケット内にスナップフィットを利用してポールが挿入されるが、その際にも、PPS樹脂等の低靱性の樹脂を用いた場合には、冠型保持器においては爪部12a,12bが破損しやすいという問題がある。
【0006】
本発明はこのような実情に鑑みてなされたもので、150℃の高温の環境下で充分に使用可能で、また、耐油性等の軸受用保持器としてのその他の性能も満足するとともに、しかも高い靱性を有してボールのスナップフィット時において破損等の不具合を生じることのない冠型の転がり軸受用樹脂製保持器を、成形に際しての離型時に爪部の損傷等を生じ ることなく製造することのできる方法の提供を目的としている。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するため、本発明の転がり軸受用樹脂製保持器の製造方法、ポケット部球面形状であり、このポケット部の開放端であるポケット入口部の開口寸法が当該ポケット部の最大径よりも略10%小さいアンダーカット状冠形保持器で、かつ、150℃〜170℃の高温環境下で使用される転がり軸受用の樹脂製保持器の製造方法であって、樹脂成分が、主成分としてポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂とポリアミド樹脂を略1:1の割合で含有するポリマーアロイで、連続使用上限温度が150℃〜170℃の材料を、成形品を撓ませて離型する無理抜きを行う射出成形により成形することによって特徴づけられる。
【0008】
本発明は、各種樹脂材料についての種々の実験、研究を重ねた結果としてなされたもので、150℃以上の高温での使用が可能で、かつ、転がり軸受用保持器としての耐油性等の性能を満足し、しかも高い靱性を有する樹脂材料として、主成分としてPPS樹脂とPA樹脂を略1:1の割合で含有するポリマーアロイが適していることが見いだされた。
【0009】
すなわち、主成分としてPPS樹脂とPA樹脂を略1:1の割合で含有するポリマーアロイは、150℃以上の高温での連続使用が可能でありながら、PPS樹脂に比して高い靱性を有し、また、耐油性等の転がり軸受用樹脂製保持器に要求される他の要件をも満たし、球面形状のポケット部で、かつ、ポケット部の開放端であるポケット入口部の開口寸法が当該ポケット部の最大径よりも略10%小さいアンダーカット状の構造を有する冠型の保持器の射出成形に適用して、離型時の無理抜きやスナップフィットによるボールの組み込み時にも爪部の損傷等が生じないことが確認された。
【実施例】
(実施例1)
主成分としてPPS樹脂とPA樹脂1:1の割合で含有するポリマーアロイに、強化ガラス繊維を15重量%の割合で含有させた材料(大日本インキ株式会社製PN215、連続使用上限温度150〜170℃、ASTM D−790に基づく曲げ弾性率6.0×104 kgf/cm2 ,曲げ破断伸び2.7%)を用いて、図1,図2に示した構造を持ち、ポケット11の入口部の開口寸法Aが5.51mm、ポケット11の球面の直径Bが6.06mmの冠型保持器を射出成形した。
【0010】
射出成形後の離型に際して、ポケット11の爪部12a,12bをはじめとして各部位の破損は全く生じず、また、成形品の各ポケット11内に直径15/64インチ(約5.953mm)のボールをスナップフィットにより組み込んだが、その際にも各爪部12a,12bをはじめとして各部位の破損は見られなかった。
【0011】
(実施例2)
主成分としてPPS樹脂とPA樹脂1:1の割合で含有するポリマーアロイに、強化ガラス繊維を30重量%の割合で含有させた材料(大日本インキ株式会社製PN230、連続使用上限温度150〜170℃、ASTM D−790に基づく曲げ弾性率9.0×104 kgf/cm2 ,曲げ破断伸び2.3%)を用いて、実施例1と全く同じ冠型保持器を射出成形した。
【0012】
射出成形後の離型に際して、ポケット11の爪部12a,12bをはじめとして各部位の破損は全く生じず、また、成形品の各ポケット11内に上記と同じボールをスナップフィットにより組み込んだが、その際にも各爪部12a,12bをはじめとして各部位の破損は見られなかった。
【0013】
(比較例)
PPS樹脂に、強化ガラス繊維を30重量%の割合で含有させた材料(大日本インキ株式会社製G30、連続使用上限温度200〜220℃、ASTM D790に基づく曲げ弾性率11.0×104 kgf/cm2 ,曲げ破断伸び1.8%)を用いて、実施例と全く同じ冠型保持器を射出成形した。
【0014】
射出成型後の離型に際して、ポケット11の爪部12a,12bが破損するものが多く、また、成形品のポケット11内に上記と同じボールをスナップフィットにより組み込んだが、その際、爪部12aまたは12bが破損したものが多かった。
【0015】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、ポケット部を球面形状として、ポケット入口部分の径がポケット最大径よりも10%程度小さいアンダーカット部を有する冠型の樹脂製保持器の射出成形に際しては、離型時爪部が損傷しやすく、また、スナップフィットによるボールの組み込み時における爪部の損傷が多発してPPS樹脂の使用が不可能であったものが、これらの不具合を生じることなく、150℃以上の高温環境下で連続使用が可能とすることのできる冠型の転がり軸受用樹脂製保持器が得られる。

As a resin material that can be used in such a high temperature environment of 150 ° C. or higher, a relatively inexpensive polyphenylene sulfide resin (hereinafter referred to as PPS resin) has been conventionally known.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when a PPS resin that is a high-temperature compatible resin is used for a resin cage for a rolling bearing, there are the following problems.
That is, in the cage for the ball bearing, the rolling is element pocket that holds the (ball) is is most preferred to be constituted by part of a spherical surface, For this purpose, the molded article in an injection molding process It is necessary to perform so-called unreasonableness by bending and releasing the mold. High-temperature compatible resins such as PPS resins generally have poor toughness, and may be damaged by this forced removal.
[0004]
In particular, FIG. 1 shows an external perspective view, FIG. 2 (A) shows a front view of the main part, and FIG. 1 (B) shows a longitudinal sectional view passing through the center of the pocket 11. In order to hold the ball in a cantilevered manner, in the crown type cage in which the two claw portions 12a and 12b facing each other are protruded from the base portion 10 to form the pocket wall body, the pocket 11 which is an open end is formed. The opening dimension (the distance between the tips of the opposing claws 12a and 12b) A is an undercut shape that is about 10% smaller than the maximum pocket diameter (the diameter of the spherical surface of the pocket 11) B. There is a problem that the claws 12a, 12b and the like are damaged at the time of mold release.
[0005]
In such a resin cage having a spherical pocket, a pole is generally inserted into each pocket using a snap fit in an assembly process. When the resin having low toughness is used, there is a problem that the claws 12a and 12b are easily damaged in the crown type cage.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can be sufficiently used in a high-temperature environment of 150 ° C., and satisfies other performances as a bearing cage such as oil resistance. Rukoto produce high breakage troubles such that no crown type of rolling bearing resin cage causing the during the snap-fit of the ball Lumpur has toughness, damage of the claw portion at the time of release of the time molding The object is to provide a method that can be manufactured without any problems .
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

It has been found that a polymer alloy containing PPS resin and PA resin as main components in a ratio of approximately 1: 1 is suitable as a resin material having high toughness.
[0009]
That is, a polymer alloy containing PPS resin and PA resin as main components in a ratio of approximately 1: 1 has high toughness compared to PPS resin while being continuously usable at a high temperature of 150 ° C. or higher. In addition, it satisfies other requirements for resin cages for rolling bearings such as oil resistance, and has a spherical pocket part and the opening dimension of the pocket inlet part which is the open end of the pocket part. Applied to injection molding of crown-shaped cages that have an undercut-like structure that is approximately 10% smaller than the maximum diameter of the part. It was confirmed that no occurred.
