- the reaction force (spring force) of the cantilever 78 is superior to the adsorption force, and the sphere 79 is separated from the lubricant adsorption layer 40.
- the adsorption force is obtained from the amount of bending of the cantilever 78 during this period. The results are shown in Table 5.
- the adsorptive power was determined for the same test piece as in Experiment 05 (without compounding agent and with binder).
- the binder does not have an adsorbing action, but rather seems to exert a releasing action.
- the adsorptive power increases as the amount of the urea compound is increased.
- the broken line parallel to the horizontal axis indicates the adsorption force according to Experiment 16.
- Experiment 16 depends on the conditions of no compounding agent and no binder. A larger adsorption force is preferable because the lubricant is retained.
- Experiment 17 is not possible because it is smaller than Experiment 16. Others have larger adsorption power than Experiment 16.
- the preferred compounding amount of the urea compound is 5% by mass or more.
- the torque varies greatly depending on the blending amount of the urea compound.
- the preferred compounding amount of the urea compound is 60% by mass or less. From the viewpoint of both adsorption force and torque, the blending amount of the urea compound is preferably 5 to 60% by mass.
- the lubricant adsorption layer 40 has been attached to the slinger.
- the lubricant adsorption layer 40 can also be provided on the seal member. That is, as shown in FIG. 14, in the bearing sealing device 30 including the metal core 31, the seal member 32, and the slinger 34, the lubricant adsorbing layer 40 can be attached to the seal member 32.
- FIG. 15 is similar to FIG. From this, it was confirmed that the same effect was exhibited regardless of whether the lubricant adsorbing layer was attached to either the sliding surface of the slinger or the lip portion.
- FIG. 16 is similar to FIG. From this, it was confirmed that the same effect was exhibited regardless of whether the lubricant adsorbing layer was attached to either the sliding surface of the slinger or the lip portion.
- lithium stearate or a urea compound can be used as a thickener for grease, and alkyd or epoxy can be used as a binder.
- the adsorption force is shown in the form of a graph in FIG. 17, and the torque is shown in the form of a graph in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, a convex curve is drawn on the top. The higher the adsorption force, the better the retention of the lubricant. Since the adsorption force in Experiment 16 was 0.082 ⁇ N, all of the adsorption forces obtained in Experiments 32 to 37 exceeded Experiment 16. Furthermore, even if compared with FIG. 12, the attractive force shown in FIG. 17 is remarkably large. This means that the melamine-based condensate can obtain higher adsorption power than lithium stearate and urea compounds.
- the obtained torque is shown in the form of a graph in FIG. As shown in FIG. 19, a downward convex curve is drawn. Since torque leads to energy loss, the smaller the better. Since the torque in Experiment 16 was 0.375 N ⁇ m, all of the torques obtained in Experiment 38 to Experiment 40 were lower than in Experiment 16.
- a melamine-based condensate can be used as a thickener for grease and phenol can be used as a binder.
- the bearing sealing structure is suitable for a vehicle, but may be applied to a general machine other than a vehicle.
- the bearing sealing structure of the present invention is suitable for a vehicle.

Abstract
Description
本発明に係る実験例を以下に述べる。なお、本発明は実験例に限定されるものではない。
図7に基づいてテストピースの形態を説明する。
図7(a)に示すように、0.6mm厚さで、縦20mm、横60mmのSUS(ステンレス)板に次に述べる前処理を施したテストピース51を準備する。前処理として、35℃のSUS板を有機溶剤にて1分間洗浄する。
評価の1つとしてピンオンプレート往復試験法(原理は図8で説明する。)に基づいて摩擦試験を実施した。
以上に説明したテストピース、配合剤、バインダを実験対象とし、摩擦係数を計測した。その内容と結果を表1に示す。
摩擦係数は0.020となり、実験06より小さくなった。
図9はトルク試験機の原理図を示している。図9(a)に示すように、試験機ベース71に、モータ軸72が下位になるようにしてモータ軸72を鉛直配置した可変速モータ73を取付け、ドライブ軸11が鉛直になるように軸受20を取付け、モータ軸72とドライブ軸11とをベルト74で連結してなる試験機70を準備する。
以上に説明した軸受、配合剤、バインダを実験対象とし、トルクを計測した。その内容と結果を表2に示す。
ステアリン酸リチウムの配合量検証:
実験06、06aでは、ステアリン酸リチウムの配合量は、25質量%であったが、この配合量の適否を確認する必要がある。そこで、ステアリン酸リチウムの配合量を、10、50、80質量%とした実験08~10を追加することにした。
上述したように実験01aでのトルクは0.375N・mであり、これをグラフに横軸に平行な破線で示した。高いトルクは運動エネルギーの損失を招くため、トルクは小さいほどよい。実験06、08、09でのトルクは0.320以下であって好ましい。しかし、実験10でのトルクは実験01aを遙かに超えているので不可である。
実験07、07aでは、ウレア化合物の配合量は、25質量%であったが、この配合量の適否を確認する必要がある。そこで、ウレア化合物の配合量を、5、10、50、60、80質量%とした実験11~15を追加することにした。
吸着試験は走査型プローブ顕微鏡(SPM)で実施した。SPMは、プローブ(探針)を用いて試料における微小領域の表面形状や物性などを測ることができる顕微鏡である。この顕微鏡には摩擦、粘弾性、吸着力、位相などの機械物性を測るモードが用意されている。このモードを用いて吸着力を測る。その原理を図11で説明する。
バインダとしてのフェノールとグリース用増ちょう剤としてのメラミン系縮合物を混合させる。メラミン系縮合物の配合量を12.5~72.6質量%の範囲で変化させ、テストピースを作製する。得られたテストピースに対して、吸着力とトルクを測定した。その内容を表8に示す。なお、測定の手順は説明済みであるため、説明を省略する。
バインダとしてのフェノールとグリース用増ちょう剤としてのメラミン系縮合物を混合させる。そして、図14に適用して、トルクを測定する。結果を表9に示す。
図19に示すように、下に凸のカーブが描かれる。トルクはエネルギー損失に繋がるため、小さい程よい。実験16でのトルクが0.375N・mであったから、実験38~実験40で得られたトルクは、全てが実験16を下回っている。
