Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve wear resistance of a bearing and reduce centrifugal force acting on balls and contact surface pressure between a raceway ring and the balls by partially using balls made of ceramics in at least a partial group of radial ball bearings for protection located on plural places. CONSTITUTION:In case of high speed touch down, as each ball 11 is made of ceramics, its hardness is high and its wear resistance is improved, and as the density of ceramics is small, centrifugal force acting on the ball 11 becomes smaller and contact surface pressure between the ball 11 and an outer ring 13 becomes smaller. As the coefficient of linear expansion of the ceramics is small, clearance change in this bearing generated by heating is smaller than that of a steel ball and deformation of the ball 11 is small and its rotation becomes smoother, because coefficient of elasticity of the ceramics is larger. Therefore, durability of the ball 11 can be improved by making the ball out of ceramics.

In addition to the type of magnetic bearing device in which a cylindrical rotor rotates around a fixed shaft as described in ``2'', there is also a type in which a rotor shaft rotates inside a cylindrical fixed case. In this case, protective bearings are provided at two locations on the upper and lower sides of the case, and when the shaft stops, the shaft contacts and is received by the inner ring of the protective bearing, but there is a problem similar to that described above.

Means for Solving the Problems The protective radial ball bearing according to the present invention is a magnetic bearing device in which a rotating part is supported and rotated by a magnetic bearing in a non-contact state with respect to a fixed part, and when the rotating part is stopped, the rotating part is This is a protective radial ball bearing that is provided at a plurality of locations on a fixed part for receiving, and is characterized in that at least some of the balls are made of ceramic.

Operation During high-speed touchdown, if the rotating part contacts the raceway of the protective radial ball bearing while still rotating at high speed, this raceway also starts rotating at high speed, but at least some of the balls of the protective radial ball bearing Made of ceramic, it is highly durable and resistant to damage. That is, since the balls are made of ceramic, they have high hardness and improved wear resistance.

Since ceramic has a low density, the centrifugal force acting on the balls is small, which reduces the contact pressure between the balls and the raceway. Ceramic has a small coefficient of linear expansion, so the change in bearing clearance due to heat generation is smaller than that of steel balls. Furthermore, since ceramic has a large elastic modulus, the ball deforms little and rotates smoothly. Therefore, by making the balls made of ceramic, the durability of the protective radial ball bearing is improved.

This bearing (10) is a total pressure bearing, and all balls (11) are made of ceramic. Moreover, compared to a normal radial ball bearing, the diameter Da of the balls (11) is small, the wall thickness ti of the inner ring (12) is thin, and the wall thickness te of the outer ring (13) is thick. Therefore, the diameter (pitch circle diameter) dp of the circle passing through the center (0) of the ball (11) is the sum of the inner diameter (bearing inner diameter) d of the inner ring (12) and the outer diameter (bearing outer diameter) D of the outer ring (13). half of (

In the case of high-speed touchdown, the rotor rotating at high speed contacts the outer ring (13) of the bearing (10), and the outer ring (13) also starts rotating at high speed. For this reason, in conventional bearings, the outer ring starts rotating at high speed with a very sudden rise as shown by the broken line (A) in Figure 2, and the maximum rotation speed (a) of the outer ring is equal to the rotation speed of the rotor (c). It becomes close to. As a result, the bearing is damaged as described above. In addition, in Fig. 2, the chain line (C)
indicates the change in the rotation speed of the rotor.

However, in the case of the above-mentioned bearing (10), as explained below, it has high durability and can prevent such damage.

That is, first, since the balls (11) are made of ceramic, they have high hardness and improved wear resistance. Since ceramic has a low density, the centrifugal force acting on the ball (11) is small.
The contact pressure between the balls (11) and the outer ring (13) is reduced. Ceramic has a small coefficient of linear expansion, so the change in bearing clearance due to heat generation is smaller than that of steel balls. Furthermore, since ceramic has a large elastic modulus, the ball (11) is less deformed and rotates smoothly. Therefore, by making the balls (11) made of ceramic, durability is improved.

To prove this, we used a normal radial ball bearing (comparative example) in which the inner ring, outer ring, and balls are made of bearing steel, and a radial ball bearing (example) that has the same dimensions and shape as the comparative example but only the balls are made of ceramic. A high-speed touchdown was performed on a magnetic bearing device using these devices. The results are shown in FIG. From this test, it was found that the comparative example was damaged after one touchdown and took about 3 minutes, but the example was able to operate for a total of more than 60 minutes after several touchdowns. It was revealed that the durability was 20 times more than that of the example.

The above bearing (10) has an inner ring (12) and an outer ring (1
Since the entire surface of 3) is coated with molybdenum disulfide, the following effects are achieved. First, the outer ring (13)
Molybdenum disulfide coated on the outer surface of the outer ring (13) promotes slippage between the rotor and the outer ring (13).
3), the rise becomes gradual and the maximum rotational speed (b) of the outer ring (13) also becomes small. Then, like this, the outer ring (13
) becomes smaller, so the centrifugal force of the outer ring (13) and balls (11) becomes smaller. Molybdenum disulfide in the raceway grooves (14) (15) of the inner ring (12) and outer ring (13) serves as a lubricant between the balls (11). Therefore, the degree of damage to the bearing (10) is reduced. In addition, when the inner ring (12) is removed from the fixed shaft for repairs etc., the inner surface of the inner ring (12) is also coated with molybdenum disulfide, which reduces the frictional force between it and the fixed shaft. It is easy to remove.

Furthermore, in the bearing (10) described above, since the groove radius r i (-0.55 Da) of the inner ring (12) is large, the following effects are achieved. First, when the rotor contacts the outer ring (13) of the bearing (10) during touchdown,
The bearing (10) is tilted, but by increasing the groove radius ri, the allowable tilt angle becomes larger, and the bearing (10)
Excessive stress will no longer occur inside. In the case of the same inclination angle, the larger the groove radius ri, the smaller the difference in revolution speed of the ball (11) and the smoother the rotation. In addition, by increasing the groove radius ri, the contact surface pressure between the ball (11) and the raceway groove (14) increases, making it easier for the ball (11) to rotate normally from the beginning when starting up to high-speed rotation. . Note that the above effect can be achieved if the groove radius ri is approximately 0.53 to 0.58 Da.

In addition, in the above bearing (10), the outer ring (13) has a wall thickness t
Since e is thicker, the outer ring (
13) Rotation is smooth because its own expansion is small and changes in bearing internal clearance (radial clearance) are small. Since the wall thickness te of the outer ring (13) is increased, the deformation of the outer ring (13) when it comes into contact with the rotor is reduced, and no excessive force is applied to the balls (11), so the rotation is smooth. becomes. Moreover, since the diameter Da of the balls (11) is reduced to increase the number of balls, the rigidity of the outer ring (13) is increased. In addition, since the pitch circle diameter dp is small, the revolution speed of the ball (11) becomes small, and the ball (11) during rotation becomes small.
The centrifugal force acting on 11) also becomes smaller.

このため、軸受(10)の耐久性か向上する。Therefore, the durability of the bearing (10) is improved.

The above bearing (10) can also be used in a magnetic bearing device in which the rotor shaft rotates inside a cylindrical fixed case. In this case, the outer ring (13) is fixed to the fixed case, and the rotor shaft contacts the inner surface of the inner ring (12). In this case as well, substantially the same effects as above are achieved.
