Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title bearing which can remarkably control the abnormal peeling due to hydrogen embrittlement and greatly prolong the service life by using a specified synthetic oil as the base oil of a grease to be enclosed. CONSTITUTION:A synthetic phenyl ether oil (e.g. an alkyl diphenyl ether made by Matsumura Petroleum) is used as the base oil of a grease to be enclosed.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention is particularly applicable to automobile electrical parts and auxiliary equipment (for example,

This product relates to grease-filled bearings used in areas subject to engine vibration.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, the technology of electrical components and auxiliary equipment for automobiles has been rapidly progressing in the direction of smaller size and lighter weight. This is due to the strong demand for improved quietness, which has led to more sealed engine compartments and increased temperatures within the engine compartment, while demand for higher performance and higher output electrical components and auxiliary equipment has increased. This is because parts with specifications that can withstand even higher temperatures have become necessary.

Bearings used in such automotive electrical components and auxiliary equipment are sealed bearings filled with grease. The durable life of a bearing is determined by the life of the enclosed grease, and it has become necessary to develop a grease with a longer life at higher temperatures. Therefore, starting with the metallic soap-based greases that have been widely used in the past, polyurea/mineral oil based, polyurea/ester based, and polyurea/α-olefin based greases do not always meet the requirements in terms of performance such as bearing life. It can no longer be said to be fulfilling.

The inventors investigated in detail the reason why the lifespan of sealed bearings is much shorter than the lifespan of peeling due to simple rolling fatigue.The inventors found that the grease decomposes when vibrations and the atmosphere become high temperature, and free hydrogen is released into the steel. It was found that hydrogen penetrates into tissues and causes the phenomenon of hydrogen embrittlement. Therefore, in order to extend the durable life of sealed bearings, the applicant of the present invention developed a technology to form a thin oxide film on the surface of the steel structure in advance, and added an oxidizing agent that causes passivation to the surface of the steel structure to the grease. We have already disclosed a technique for adding

[Problem B to be solved by the invention] As stated above, the conventional technology is still insufficient to suppress the generation of hydrogen from grease as much as possible and extend the durable life of sealed bearings. There were some problems, and the challenge was to solve them.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has developed a bearing in which a base oil, which accounts for about 80% by weight of the entire grease, is filled with a phenyl ether synthetic oil in which aromatic rings are bonded by oxygen atoms. This method adopted the method of The details will be described below.

First, the phenyl ether-based synthetic oil in this invention is, for example, comprehensively represented by the following general formula: A single substance or a mixture of aromatic rings bonded with oxygen atoms, such as
In addition, the greater the number of alkyl groups or side chains, the lower the pour point, so in this invention, those with a high pour point are preferred in terms of good heat resistance, but if the number of rings increases and the molecular weight becomes too large, the viscosity will decrease. The index becomes excessive and becomes undesirable. Therefore, it is desirable to mix two or more different types of phenyl ethers and adjust various properties such as viscosity and heat resistance as appropriate.

Next, as the thickening agent in the present invention, aliphatic urea or alicyclic urea, which have been widely used in the past, can be used without any problem, but aromatic urea can be recommended as the most preferable among them.

Furthermore, in the present invention, a sensitizing agent may be added within a range that does not impede the purpose. However, if a sulfonate (for example, barium sulfonate) conventionally used as a rust preventive agent for bearings is added in an amount of 3% by weight or less, Although no major influence is observed, addition of a large amount exceeding 3% by weight is not preferable because barium sulfonate, which has strong adsorption properties, is adsorbed on the new metal surface and acts as a catalyst for hydrogen decomposition.

The base oils of bearing greases used in automotive electrical parts and auxiliary equipment, namely mineral oils, esters, and α-olefins, all have poor thermal stability. As shown in the order of the bond energies between the atoms constituting these, 1 11 =C-H>-C-H> -C-C, the carbon-carbon bond in α-olein is the smallest, followed by The carbon-hydrogen bond of the α-olefin and the carbon-hydrogen bond of the benzene nucleus become larger sequentially, and the carbon-carbon bond energy of the aromatic ring is even larger than the above three bond energies, so the aromatic ring used in this invention is the most stable compared to the former champion, meaning that hydrogen bonded to the carbon of the aromatic ring is more stable and less susceptible to decomposition than the hydrogen bonded to the carbon of the olefin chain. Therefore, it can be said that phenyl ether-based synthetic oils are far more advantageous than conventional base oils in order to suppress as much as possible the generation of hydrogen that invades the structure of the steel and causes the phenomenon of hydrogen embrittlement.
