Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the life of a rolling bearing under high temperature environment or clean environment by forming at least the rolling bodies among bearing rings, rolling bodies, and a retainer made of anticorrosive material out of ceramics containing silicon nitride as a main body, and forming a diamond-like carbon film on the surface. CONSTITUTION:Among bearing rings, rolling bodies, and a retainer made of anticorrosive material such as stainless steel and constituting a rolling bearing, at least the rolling bodies 3 are formed out of ceramics containing silicon nitride as a main body. A diamond-like carbon film 5 is formed on the surface of the rolling body. This diamond-like carbon film had better contain silicon of about 5-25%. Further the diamond-like carbon film 5 containing silicon can be favorably treated in a plasma fluorine atmosphere so as to contain fluorine. In this way, the diamond-like carbon film not only insures lubricating ability of the bearing, but hardly peels so as not to generate dust in the bearing and exhibits high hardness, and it is excellent in anticorrosion and heat resistance.

The ceramics mainly composed of silicon nitride have a heat resistance of 800 ° C., but a high temperature environment can be achieved without forming a lubricating film on the surface of the ceramic rolling elements. If the above rolling element is used in an environment where a lubricant such as grease cannot be used under a clean environment such as underneath or in a vacuum, it causes wear between the rolling elements and the gap between them, which increases the desired bearing. The performance cannot be expected and the life of the bearing cannot be secured.

Therefore, in order to cope with the above, molybdenum disulfide (Mo) is formed on the surface of the ceramic rolling element.
S 2), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or gold, silver, has also been possible to coat a solid lubricant soft metal such as copper or the like. However, molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) is inferior in heat resistance and the operating temperature is about 400.
The temperature is up to ℃, and moreover, it easily peels off from the surface of the rolling element and dust is generated inside the bearing, which adversely affects peripheral equipment. Further, the tetrafluoroethylene resin is also inferior in heat resistance and the operating temperature is up to about 200 ° C. In addition, soft metals wear quickly and cannot maintain their lubricating effect for a long period of time. As described above, rolling bearings used in high-temperature environments or clean environments do not have a suitable solid lubricant, and cannot maintain a sufficient bearing life. is there.
