また、下記特許文献1には、転動体の軸方向両側方において外輪に形成した供給孔から圧縮空気を吐出し、圧縮空気によって送られた潤滑油を保持器と外輪との間に供給することによって両者の接触による摩耗や焼き付きを防止することが記載されている。この技術では、保持器の軸方向両側に圧縮空気を吹き付けることによって保持器を傾きにくくすることが可能であるが、保持器の軸方向一方側のみを軌道輪によって案内するタイプの転がり軸受に対しては特に考慮されていない。
また、本発明は、保持器の軸方向一方側のみが軌道輪によって案内されるタイプの転がり軸受において、保持器とその案内面との間の潤滑を適切に維持しつつ、保持器の径方向の位置を安定させることができ、保持器の摩耗や焼き付きを好適に防止することができる転がり軸受を提供することを目的とする。
前記複数の転動体を周方向所定間隔に保持すると共に、前記案内面に摺接可能に対向する被案内面を有する環状の保持器と、を備えた転がり軸受である。
また、保持器の径方向の位置を安定させることができ、保持器の摩耗や焼き付きを好適に防止することができる。
内輪12も、軸受鋼等の合金鋼を用いて環状に形成された部材であり、その外周面には、円筒ころ13が転動する内輪軌道面12aが外輪軌道面11aに対向するように形成されている。また、内輪12の外周面には、内輪軌道面12aの軸方向両側において径方向外方に突出する内輪鍔部12bが形成され、この内輪鍔部12bによって円筒ころ13の軸方向の移動が規制されている。
複数の円筒ころ13は、外輪軌道面11a及び内輪軌道面12a上を転動可能であり、これによって、外輪11及び内輪12は相対回転自在である。
この環状溝31は、案内面21の周方向に沿って形成され、円筒ころ軸受10の軸心を通る断面の形状が略台形状とされている。環状溝31は、第2流路17cの径(吐出口17c1の径)φよりも軸方向の開口幅が大きく形成されており、溝底側から開口側へ向けて徐々に幅広となるように互いに逆向きに傾斜した一対の側壁面31a1,31a2を備えている。一対の側壁面31a1,31a2の間の底面31bは、案内面21と平行な面であり、第2流路17cの吐出口17c1の径φと略同じかやや大きい軸方向幅を有している。
(a) π/2<α<π,
(b) π/2<β<π,
(c) β<α
環状溝31の軸方向内側の側壁面31a1は、軸方向外側の側壁面31a2よりも大きく傾斜(β<α)しているので、圧縮空気は、吐出口17c1からその軸方向外側よりも軸方向内側へ向けて多く流れる。このように軸方向内側へ向けて流れる多量の圧縮空気の圧力によって、図1に示すように、保持器14の被案内面22が外側間座15の外輪11側の内周角部(案内面21の軸方向内側端縁)15eに接触することが少なくなり、この部分15eにおいて保持器14が局所的に摩耗するのを抑制することができる。また、吐出口17c1からその軸方向内側へ向けて流れる多量の圧縮空気によって、潤滑油の供給量も多くなるので、当該部分15eにおける保持器14の摩耗をより抑制することができるとともに、円筒ころ13と外輪軌道面11aとの間にも積極的に潤滑油を供給することができる。
(d) π/2<α<π,
(e) 0<β<π/2,
(f) (π/2-β)<(α-π/2)
上記各実施形態において、第2流路17c、被案内面22、案内面21、及び環状溝31は、円筒ころ13を挟んで軸方向両側に設けてもよい。ただし、本発明は、軸方向片側のみに第2流路17c、被案内面22、案内面21を設けている円筒ころ軸受10において、保持器14の被案内面22が案内面21の軸方向内側端縁15eに接触するのを防止するうえで非常に有用である。
本発明は、保持器の案内形式が内輪案内とされた転がり軸受にも適用することができる。また、本発明は、玉軸受、針状ころ軸受、円すいころ軸受等の円筒ころ軸受以外の転がり軸受にも採用することができる。また、上記実施形態では、潤滑手段としてオイルエア潤滑方式を例示しているが、本発明は、圧縮空気を用いて潤滑油を送給する潤滑方式であれば特に限定されず、例えば圧縮空気によってミスト状の潤滑油を供給するオイルミスト潤滑方式等の他の潤滑方式を採用することができる。
本実施形態の第2流路27c1,27c2は、円筒ころ軸受10の軸心を通る所定の断面において軸方向に並べて2本形成されている。また、円筒ころ軸受10の全周では、第2流路27c1,27c2は、軸方向2列の配置で各列に複数形成されている。
このため、保持器14の被案内面22が、外側間座15の外輪11側の内周角部(案内面21の軸方向内側端縁)15e(図4参照)に接触し、この部分で保持器14が局所的に摩耗するのを防止することができる。
