Definitions

• the present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition suitable for use for a main shaft of a machine tool.
• the main shaft of a machine tool is rotated at a high speed in order to raise the working speed of the machine tool.
• the functions of a lubricating oil used for the main shaft are cooling and lubrication of the main shaft, and the lubricating oil needs to have a low viscosity in order to attain high cooling efficiency. Wear resistance is also an important property required of the lubricating oil in order to cope with the impact load of the main shaft. In addition, in cold periods during winter, low temperature fluidity is also required in order to obtain good startability of the machine tool.
• lubricating oils used for machine tools are used not only for lubrication of shaft bearing parts, as mentioned above, but also for lubrication of gear parts, and the like, and in such cases, load-bearing properties are further required as an important property.
• the applicant of the present application has previously attained good results in developing a lubricating oil composition with excellent lubricating properties, which is capable of sufficiently exhibiting performance for a longtime even when used under conditions becoming increasingly severe with speeding up, pressure increase, and downsizing of industrial machines and of securing the lifetime of machines, by blending ⁇ -dithiophosphorylated propionic acid with a mineral oil or a synthetic oil, see for example Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-265971.
• the inventors of the present invention have made various examinations and studies in order to obtain a lubricating oil composition which has even better lubricating properties and wear resistance as well as having a high flash point.
• a lubricating oil composition suitable for use for a main shaft of a machine tool is obtained by using, as a base oil for the lubricating oil composition, abase oil which comprises an oil containing 20 mass % to 49 mass % of n-paraffin components and 51 mass % to 80 mass % of i-paraffin components at a quantity of 90 mass % or more of the total quantity of the base oil and which has a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 1 to 5 mm 2 /s, and blending a small quantity of ⁇ -dithiophosphorylated propionic acid and/or an acidic phosphoric acid ester with the base oil.
• the lubricating oil composition of the present invention exhibits good lubricating properties with good low temperature fluidity at shaft bearings of machine tools, and the like, and also exhibits excellent wear resistance and a high flash point (COC) of 100° C. or higher, and can therefore be effectively used as a lubricating oil composition for a main shaft of a machine tool.
• COC high flash point
• the base oil of the present invention can be a paraffin-based base oil obtained by, for example, subjecting a kerosene/light oil fraction, which is obtained by atmospheric distillation of crude oil, to an appropriate combination of refining processes, such as hydrocracking.
• n-paraffin components and i-paraffin components are contained at fixed proportions, and among paraffin components, it is preferable for the content of n-paraffin components to be 20 mass % to 49 mass % and the content of i-paraffin components to be 51 mass % to 80 mass %, and more preferable for the content of n-paraffin components to be 20 mass % to 29 mass % and the content of i-paraffin components to be 71 mass % to 80 mass %.
• Base oil components constituted from these n-paraffin components and i-paraffin components account for 90 mass % or more, and preferably 95 mass % or more, of the total quantity of the base oil in the composition. Moreover, the remainder of the base oil may contain naphthene-based components and aromatic components, but if the total content of naphthene-based components and aromatic components exceeds 10 mass %, the flash point and oxidation stability deteriorate.
• the kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of this type of base oil is 0.5 to 10 mm 2 /s, and preferably 1 to 5 mm 2 /s.
• the total sulfur content in the base oil should be 10 ppm or less, and preferably 1 ppm or less, and the total nitrogen content in the base oil should be less than 10 ppm, and preferably less than 1 ppm.
• the number of hydrocarbon carbon atoms in the base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 1 to 5 mm 2 /s is distributed within the range 10 to 24.
• the number of carbon atoms in a base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 1.98 to 2.42 mm 2 /s is distributed within the range 12 to 16.
• GC-MS Gas chromatography mass spectrometry methods
• GC-MS is a method in which hydrocarbons, which have been separated according to retention time by gas chromatography, are subjected to mass spectrometry, in which the molecular weights and content proportions of the separated hydrocarbons are measured.
• the molecular weight of a paraffin component is 2n+2, and naphthene-based components and aromatic components having ring structures within the molecule do not have molecular weights of 2n+2.
• gas chromatography/flame ionization detection is one method of measuring the content values of straight chain n-paraffins and branched chain i-paraffins among paraffin components.
• n-paraffins and i-paraffins are separated according to number of carbon atoms by the difference in retention time between paraffins, and the content proportions thereof can be quantitatively determined according to detection area. Therefore, by measuring the proportions of n-paraffins in a C 10-24 fraction by means of GC-FID, it is possible to quantitatively determine the content of n-paraffins.
• n-paraffins include n-decane, n-undecane, n-dodecane, n-tridecane, n-tetradecane, n-pentadecane, n-hexadecane, n-heptadecane, n-octadecane, n-nonadecane, n-eicosane, n-heneicosane, n-docosane, n-tricosane and n-tetracosane.
• a GTL (gas-to-liquid) base oil synthesised by a Fischer Tropsch polymerization method which is a technique for obtaining liquid fuels from natural gas, can be advantageously used as the base oil component of the present invention due to having an extremely low sulfur content and aromatic content, a high constituent proportion of paraffin components, exhibiting excellent oxidation stability and having extremely low evaporative losses compared to base oils obtained by refining crude oil.
• the viscosity characteristics of this GTL base oil should generally be a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 1.5 to 5.5 mm 2 /s, and preferably 1.98 to 2.42 mm 2 /s.
