Description

Bearing with resin pulley

The present invention relates to a bearing with a resin pulley comprising a resin pulley and a rolling bearing. In particular, the present invention relates to a pulley with a pulley for guiding an auxiliary machine driving belt for transmitting the rotational power of an engine to an auxiliary machine of an automobile, an idler pulley, and a tension pulley.

Conventionally, a pulley used in an auxiliary machine driving belt for transmitting the rotational power of an engine to an automobile auxiliary machine has a resin pulley on the outer circumference of the outer ring of the rolling bearing for the purpose of reducing the weight and cost. An integrally molded bearing with a resin pulley is used. These pulleys in automobiles are used in an environment where they are exposed to high temperatures, high impact, rainwater, antifreezing agents (calcium chloride) sprayed on roads, and the like. For this reason, the resin pulley has excellent mechanical characteristics corresponding to the belt tension, shape accuracy of the guide section that spans and guides the belt, excellent heat resistance and calcium chloride resistance during continuous load use, and close contact with the bearing. In order to maintain the properties, low water absorption and small dimensional change are required.

Considering such characteristics, conventionally, as a molding material for a resin pulley, reinforced nylon (polyamide) in which a predetermined amount of reinforcing fiber such as glass fiber is blended, for example, polyamide 6 resin, polyamide 66 resin, polyamide 610 resin, polyamide 612 It is known to use glass fiber reinforcing materials such as resin, polyamide 11 resin, and polyamide 12 resin (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). Further, as a material for increasing the resistance to calcium chloride while maintaining the mechanical strength and heat resistance of the pulley, a resin material obtained by blending glass fibers with a mixed polymer of polyamide 66 resin and polyamide 612 resin has been proposed. (See Patent Document 3).

Japanese Patent No. 3506735 Japanese Patent No. 2838037 JP 2000-2317 A

A resin pulley made of a glass fiber reinforced material of a mixed polymer of polyamide 66 resin and polyamide 612 resin is more excellent in calcium chloride resistance than glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66 resin. However, since the polyamide 612 resin exists in a so-called sea-island structure, and the polyamide 612 resin is inferior in heat resistance to the polyamide 66 resin, it is inferior in heat resistance and mechanical strength as a whole. Also, calcium chloride resistance is inferior to that of the polyamide resin 612 alone.

In recent years, in order to secure a living space, the interior of the engine room has become compact, and the heat resistance required for each part has become stricter. Polyamide 612 resin has a low glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting point, and a large decrease in physical properties at high temperatures in the water-absorbed state. Therefore, high temperature physical properties at the time of water absorption are required.

Because Tg is low, the coefficient of linear expansion beyond Tg is large. Therefore, due to the difference in coefficient of linear expansion between the rolling bearing and the resin pulley material, the tightening margin is small, and between the rolling bearing outer ring and the resin pulley at high temperatures. There is a risk of peeling, slipping or fretting. In addition, since the heat resistance is low, pulley creep may occur at high temperatures depending on use conditions, and the belt may not be properly guided.

The present invention has been made to cope with such problems, and is equipped with a resin pulley that is excellent in wear resistance, strength at high temperature, strength after water absorption, heat resistance, calcium chloride resistance, and can suppress dimensional change and creep. An object is to provide a bearing.

A bearing with a resin pulley according to the present invention includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a rolling bearing having a plurality of rolling elements interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and a resin pulley fixed to the outer ring. A resin pulley bearing, wherein the resin pulley includes a dicarboxylic acid component mainly composed of terephthalic acid and a diamine component mainly composed of 1,10-decanediamine or an aliphatic diamine composed of 9 carbon atoms. The resin composition is an injection-molded product obtained by blending a fibrous reinforcing material with a polyamide resin comprising: a glass fiber and a carbon fiber as the fibrous reinforcing material. 10 to 50% by mass based on the total composition.

The diamine component is mainly composed of 1,10-decanediamine.

The diamine component is composed mainly of an aliphatic diamine having 9 carbon atoms, and the aliphatic diamine is at least one aliphatic diamine selected from 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine. It is characterized by being.

The resin composition contains 10 to 50% by mass of the glass fiber as the fibrous reinforcing material, or 10 to 40% by mass of the carbon fiber with respect to the whole composition. It is characterized by that.

The glass transition temperature of the polyamide resin is 120 ° C. or higher. Further, the polyamide resin contains carbon 14 which is a radioisotope.

The bearing with a resin pulley according to the present invention has a resin pulley having a dicarboxylic acid component mainly composed of terephthalic acid and a diamine component mainly composed of 1,10-decanediamine or an aliphatic diamine composed of 9 carbon atoms. Is a resin composition injection-molded product obtained by blending a fibrous reinforcing material with the polyamide resin, and the composition is at least one selected from glass fiber and carbon fiber as the fibrous reinforcing material. Is contained in an amount of 10 to 50% by mass with respect to the total composition, so that the resin has high heat resistance, low strength reduction and creep after water absorption, and excellent calcium chloride resistance, fatigue resistance, and wear resistance. It becomes a pulley. For this reason, the reliability of the bearing with the resin pulley is improved.

Since the polyamide resin used as the base resin has a glass transition temperature of 120 ° C. or higher, it is possible to prevent peeling, slipping, fretting, etc. between the rolling bearing outer ring and the resin pulley at high temperatures.

Part of the components constituting the polyamide resin (for example, 1,10-decanediamine or aliphatic diamine having 9 carbon atoms) is synthesized from plants, and the polyamide resin contains carbon 14 which is a radioisotope. Therefore, the substantial carbon dioxide emission at the time of combustion can be reduced compared with the synthetic resin derived from petroleum.

It is a side view which shows an example of the bearing with a resin pulley of this invention. It is an axial sectional view of the bearing with a resin pulley of FIG. It is an axial direction sectional view showing other examples of a bearing with a resin pulley of the present invention.

An example of a bearing with a resin pulley according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a side view showing a bearing with a resin pulley, and FIG. 2 is an axial sectional view of the bearing with a resin pulley of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bearing 1 with a resin pulley includes a rolling bearing 11 that receives a radial load and a pulley 2 made of resin. The rolling bearing 11 includes an inner ring 12, an outer ring 13, a plurality of rolling elements 14 interposed between the inner ring 12 and the outer ring 13, and a cage 15 that holds the rolling elements 14 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. ing. The resin pulley 2 is fixed to the outer ring 13 of the rolling bearing 11. The pulley 2 in this form includes an inner diameter cylindrical portion 3 fixed to the outer ring 13, an outer diameter cylindrical portion 4 having a belt guide surface, and a disc provided between the inner diameter cylindrical portion 3 and the outer diameter cylindrical portion 4. Part 5 and a plurality of ribs 6 provided radially on both sides of disk part 5. The shape of the belt guide surface in the pulley 2 is a flat shape.

In the rolling bearing 11, seal members 16 are provided at both axial opening portions between the inner and outer rings, and grease 17 is sealed around the rolling elements 14 for lubrication. As the grease 17, for example, a grease that uses poly-α-olefin oil, alkyl diphenyl ether oil, ester oil or the like as a base oil and a diurea compound or the like as a thickener is used in consideration of the use temperature of the pulley.

The pulley 2 is an injection molded body of a predetermined resin composition. The method for fixing the pulley 2 to the outer ring 13 of the rolling bearing 11 is not particularly limited. However, since the manufacturing process can be simplified and the occurrence of a defective engagement portion can be prevented, it is formed integrally with the outer ring 13 by injection molding ( Insert molding) is preferable. In insert molding, a rolling bearing is disposed in advance in a mold, and a predetermined resin material to be described later is filled therein to integrally mold a pulley on the outer diameter side of the outer ring. The gate position at the time of injection molding can be appropriately set in consideration of the weld to be formed. For example, a plurality of gates can be provided on the end surface of the inner diameter cylindrical portion 3 at a predetermined circumferential interval.

As shown in FIG. 2, the inner diameter cylindrical portion 3 of the pulley 2 is formed so as to cover from the outer diameter surface to the end surface of the outer ring 13. As a result, the outer diameter portion of the outer ring 13 is held by the inner diameter cylindrical portion 3 of the pulley 2, and the pulley 2 can be prevented from being detached from the rolling bearing.

Another example of the bearing with a resin pulley of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is an axial sectional view of a bearing with a resin pulley. As shown in FIG. 3, the bearing with a resin pulley 1 ′ includes a rolling bearing 11 that receives a radial load and a pulley 2 made of resin. The configuration of the rolling bearing 11 is substantially the same as in the case of FIG. In this form of pulley 2, a boss portion 7 formed on the inner peripheral portion and an outer peripheral portion 8 having a pulley groove over which a V-ribbed belt (not shown) is stretched are integrally formed. The boss portion 7 is fixed to the outer ring 13 by engaging with the groove 13 a on the outer diameter surface of the outer ring 13. By engaging the outer ring 13 having the groove 13a on the outer diameter surface with the pulley 2 being insert-molded, an engagement shape is formed by the resin that has entered the groove.

The type of the rolling bearing 11 is not limited to the deep groove ball bearing shown in each drawing, and a known rolling bearing such as an angular ball bearing, a cylindrical roller bearing, or a tapered roller bearing can be applied. Further, the shape of the belt guide surface of the pulley 2 may be any shape such as a timing gear shape in addition to the flat shape of FIG. 2 and the V-ribbed shape of FIG. In addition, it is preferable and advantageous in terms of cost to integrate the pulley and the rolling bearing by insert molding, but after forming only the pulley with a resin composition, the rolling bearing is fitted to this as necessary. There may be.

The bearing with a resin pulley according to the present invention is a resin composition in which a pulley made of resin has a predetermined polyamide resin as a base resin and a predetermined amount of fibrous reinforcing material (glass fiber or carbon fiber) is blended therein. It is an injection-molded body.

The polyamide resin used in the present invention comprises a dicarboxylic acid component and a diamine component, and is obtained by polycondensation of dicarboxylic acid and diamine constituting each component. The dicarboxylic acid component constituting the polyamide resin has terephthalic acid as a main component. By using terephthalic acid as the main component, the polyamide resin has excellent high-temperature rigidity. The diamine component constituting the polyamide resin is mainly composed of 1,10-decanediamine or an aliphatic diamine having 9 carbon atoms. Hereinafter, the polyamide resin (A) when 1,10-decanediamine is used as a main component, and the polyamide resin (B) when an aliphatic diamine having 9 carbon atoms is used as a main component are described.

<Polyamide resin (A)>
The diamine component constituting the polyamide resin (A) is mainly composed of 1,10-decanediamine. 1,10-decanediamine is a linear aliphatic diamine. Since both terephthalic acid and 1,10-decanediamine have high chemical structure symmetry, a highly crystalline polyamide resin can be obtained by using them as the main components.

In the present invention, as described above, linear 1,10-decanediamine having 10 carbon atoms is used as a main component for the diamine component constituting the polyamide resin (A). Since the carbon number of the monomer unit of the diamine component as the main component is 10 and even, it is easier to take a more stable crystal structure and the crystallinity is improved, compared to the case where the carbon number is odd, More preferable (even-odd effect). Further, when the diamine component as a main component has 8 or less carbon atoms, the melting point of the polyamide resin may exceed the decomposition temperature. When the diamine component has 12 or more carbon atoms, the polyamide resin has a low melting point, and the pulley may be deformed when used under high temperature conditions.

The polyamide resin (A) may be obtained by replacing part of terephthalic acid, which is a dicarboxylic acid component, and 1,10-decanediamine, which is a diamine component, with other copolymerization components. However, since the melting point and crystallinity decrease as the amount of other copolymerization components increases, the total amount of terephthalic acid and 1,10-decanediamine as the main components is the total number of moles (100 mol%) of the raw material monomers. On the other hand, it is preferable to set it as 95 mol% or more. Further, it is particularly preferable that it is substantially composed only of terephthalic acid and 1,10-decanediamine, and is substantially free of other copolymerization components.

Dicarboxylic acid components other than terephthalic acid used as other copolymerization components include oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, undecanedioic acid, dodecane Examples include aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as diacids, alicyclic dicarboxylic acids such as cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, and aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. Examples of diamine components other than 1,10-decanediamine used as other copolymerization components include 1,2-ethanediamine, 1,3-propanediamine, 1,4-butanediamine, and 1,5-pentanediamine. 1,6-hexanediamine, 1,7-heptanediamine, 1,8-octanediamine, 1,9-nonanediamine, 1,11-undecanediamine, aliphatic diamine such as 1,12-dodecanediamine, cyclohexanediamine, etc. Aromatic diamines such as alicyclic diamine and xylylenediamine. The polyamide resin (A) may be copolymerized with lactams such as caprolactam.

The weight average molecular weight of the polyamide resin (A) is preferably 15000 to 50000, more preferably 26000 to 50000. When the weight average molecular weight of the polyamide resin (A) is less than 15000, the rigidity of the resin is lowered, and the pulley may be deformed when the belt is guided. On the other hand, when the weight average molecular weight of the polyamide resin (A) exceeds 50,000, crystallization is slowed down and fluidity during injection molding is lowered. Further, the relative viscosity of the polyamide resin (A) is not particularly limited, but in order to facilitate the molding of the pulley, the relative viscosity measured at a concentration of 1 g / dL and 25 ° C. using 96% by mass sulfuric acid as a solvent. Is preferably 2.0 or more.

The above-mentioned polyamide resin (A) preferably has a melting point of 310 ° C. or higher. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 320 to 340 ° C. in consideration of moldability and the like. The melting point range is preferably 310 to 340 ° C, more preferably 310 to 330 ° C, and particularly preferably 310 to 320 ° C. Since the melting point is higher than other polyamide resins generally used as pulley materials (for example, polyamide 66 resin (267 ° C.)) and heat resistance is excellent, it is possible to suppress a decrease in strength, dimensional change, creep, and the like at high temperatures. The melting point was determined by using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) to lower the polyamide resin from a molten state to 25 ° C. at a temperature lowering rate of 20 ° C./min. It can be measured as the temperature (Tm) of the endothermic peak that appears when the temperature is raised at the rate of temperature rise.

The glass transition temperature of the polyamide resin (A) is preferably 120 ° C. or higher. More preferably, it is 150 degreeC or more. Since the glass transition temperature is higher than other polyamide resins generally used as a pulley material (for example, polyamide 66 resin (49 ° C.)), it is possible to suppress a decrease in strength, dimensional change, creep, and the like at high temperatures. The glass transition temperature is a step-like shape that appears when the polyamide resin is rapidly cooled in an inert gas atmosphere using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and then heated at a rate of temperature increase of 20 ° C./min. It can be measured as the temperature (Tg) at the midpoint of the endothermic peak (JIS K 7121).

As the polyamide resin (A), only the predetermined polyamide 10T resin comprising the dicarboxylic acid component mainly composed of terephthalic acid and the diamine component mainly composed of 1,10-decanediamine as described above is used as the resin component. In addition, it is preferable not to copolymerize or polymer blend with other polyamide resins or other resins. Thereby, the partial characteristic fall like the case where it is set as the mixed polymer of polyamide 66 resin and polyamide 612 resin can be prevented.

<Polyamide resin (B)>
The dicarboxylic acid component constituting the polyamide resin (B) is mainly composed of terephthalic acid. Examples of dicarboxylic acid components other than terephthalic acid include malonic acid, dimethylmalonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, 2-methyladipic acid, trimethyladipic acid, pimelic acid, 2,2-dimethylglutaric acid, 3, 3 -Aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as diethyl succinic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, suberic acid; alicyclic dicarboxylic acids such as 1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid; isophthalic acid, 2,6 -Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,7-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-phenylenedioxydiacetic acid, 1,3-phenylenedioxydiacetic acid, diphenic acid, dibenzoic acid, 4, 4'-oxydibenzoic acid, diphenylmethane-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid, diphenylsulfone-4 4'-dicarboxylic acid, aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as 4,4'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid, or can be given any mixture thereof. Of these, aromatic dicarboxylic acids are preferably used. Furthermore, polyvalent carboxylic acids such as trimellitic acid, trimesic acid, and pyromellitic acid can be used as long as melt molding is possible.

The proportion of terephthalic acid in the dicarboxylic acid component is 60 mol% or more, preferably 75 mol% or more, more preferably 90 mol% or more, based on the entire dicarboxylic acid component. When the terephthalic acid component is less than 60 mol%, various physical properties such as heat resistance and chemical resistance of the obtained polyamide are lowered, which is not preferable.

The diamine component constituting the polyamide resin (B) is mainly composed of an aliphatic diamine having 9 carbon atoms. Examples of such diamines include linear 1,9-nonanediamine and branched 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine. Examples of diamine components other than aliphatic diamines having 9 carbon atoms include ethylenediamine, propylenediamine, 1,4-butanediamine, 1,6-hexanediamine, 1,8-octanediamine, 1,10-decanediamine, 1, 12-dodecanediamine, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediamine, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,6-hexanediamine, 2,4,4-trimethyl-1,6-hexanediamine, 5-methyl- Aliphatic diamines such as 1,9-nonanediamine; cycloaliphatic diamines such as cyclohexanediamine, methylcyclohexanediamine, and isophoronediamine; p-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, xylenediamine, 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane, 4, 4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone, 4,4'-di Aromatic diamines such as amino diphenyl ether, or can be given any mixture thereof.

As the main component of the diamine component, 1,9-nonanediamine is particularly preferable. The proportion of 1,9-nonanediamine in the diamine component is 60 mol% or more, preferably 75 mol% or more, more preferably 90 mol% or more, based on the entire diamine component. If the composition of the diamine component is within this range, it is preferable because the obtained polyamide is excellent in all of heat resistance, moldability, chemical resistance, low water absorption, light weight, and mechanical properties.

The polyamide resin (B) is preferably composed only of terephthalic acid and an aliphatic diamine composed of 9 carbon atoms. More preferably, it is a polyamide 9T resin substantially composed only of terephthalic acid and 1,9-nonanediamine.

The intrinsic viscosity of the polyamide 9T resin is not particularly limited. However, in order to facilitate the formation of the pulley, the intrinsic viscosity measured at a concentration of 1 g / dL and 25 ° C. using 96% by mass sulfuric acid is 0.4. It is preferable to set it to -3.0.

It is preferable that the polyamide resin (B) has a melting point of 300 ° C. or higher. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 320 to 340 ° C. in consideration of moldability and the like. The melting point range is preferably 300 to 340 ° C., more preferably 300 to 330 ° C., and particularly preferably 300 to 320 ° C. Since the melting point is higher than other polyamide resins generally used as pulley materials (for example, polyamide 66 resin (267 ° C.)) and heat resistance is excellent, it is possible to suppress a decrease in strength, dimensional change, creep, and the like at high temperatures. The melting point can be measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) as described above.

It is preferable that the polyamide resin (B) has a glass transition temperature of 120 ° C. or higher. More preferably, it is 125 ° C. or higher. Since the glass transition temperature is higher than that of other polyamide resins (for example, polyamide 66 resin (49 ° C.)) generally used as a pulley material, it is possible to suppress a decrease in strength, dimensional change, creep, and the like at high temperatures. The glass transition temperature can be measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) as described above.

In the polyamide resins (A) and (B) used in the present invention, plant-derived raw materials may be used as the dicarboxylic acid component or the diamine component. For example, in the case of the polyamide resin (A), 1,10-decanediamine using castor oil as a starting material can be used. In the case of the polyamide resin (B), butadiene as a starting material for 1,9-nonanediamine and / or 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine is produced using a plant-derived material, and this butadiene is used. A plant-derived diamine can be produced through a hydration and dimerization reaction. Examples of the method for producing plant-derived butadiene include a method in which biomass-derived ethanol is dehydrated and condensed in a bimolecular contact manner. Thus, by adopting a biomass-derived raw material such as a plant, the substantial emission amount of carbon dioxide accompanying the incineration of pulleys can be reduced as compared with the case where no biomass-derived raw material is used. Here, whether or not it is a plant plastic using a biomass-derived raw material can be determined by measuring the concentration of ¹⁴ C, which is a radioisotope, with respect to the carbon constituting the resin. ^Since the half-life of ¹⁴ C is 5730 years, carbon derived from fossil resources, which is supposed to be produced after more than 10 million years, does not contain ¹⁴ C at all. From this, if ¹⁴ C is contained in the resin, it can be determined that at least a raw material derived from biomass is used.

Glass fibers or carbon fibers are used as the fibrous reinforcing material to be blended with the polyamide resins (A) and (B) used as the base resin. The glass fiber is obtained by spinning from inorganic glass containing SiO ₂ , B ₂ O ₃ , Al ₂ O ₃ , CaO, MgO, Na ₂ O, K ₂ O, Fe ₂ O ₃ or the like as a main component. Generally, alkali-free glass (E glass), alkali-containing glass (C glass, A glass) or the like can be used. In consideration of the influence on the polyamide resins (A) and (B), alkali-free glass is preferable. The alkali-free glass is a borosilicate glass that contains almost no alkali component in the composition. Since the alkali component is hardly contained, there is almost no influence on the polyamide resin, and the properties of the resin composition do not change. Carbon fiber can be used regardless of the type of raw material such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN), pitch, rayon, and lignin-poval mixture. In addition, since these fibrous reinforcing materials can improve adhesiveness with a polyamide resin, it is preferable that the surface treatment is carried out using silane coupling agents, such as an epoxy type and an amino type.

The fibrous reinforcing material is blended so as to contain 10 to 50% by mass of at least one selected from glass fibers and carbon fibers with respect to the entire composition. Preferably, only one of them is blended. When only glass fibers are used as the fibrous reinforcing material, the blending amount is preferably 10 to 50% by mass, more preferably 20 to 50% by mass, and more preferably 20 to 35% by mass with respect to the entire resin composition. Further preferred. When the amount of glass fiber is less than 10% by mass, the reinforcing effect is small, and when it exceeds 50% by mass, fluidity suitable for injection molding may not be obtained.

When only carbon fibers are used as the fibrous reinforcing material, the blending amount is preferably 10 to 40% by mass, more preferably 15 to 30% by mass with respect to the entire resin composition. When the amount of carbon fiber is less than 10% by mass, the reinforcing effect is small, and when it exceeds 40% by mass, fluidity suitable for injection molding may not be obtained.

In consideration of the weld strength of the molded product, the glass fiber is most preferably 20 to 30% by mass, and the carbon fiber is most preferably 15 to 20% by mass with respect to the entire resin composition.

In the resin composition according to the present invention, additives other than the above-mentioned fibrous reinforcing material may be blended as necessary as long as the properties and injection moldability required for the pulley are not impaired. As other additives, for example, a solid lubricant, a particulate filler (inorganic filler), an antioxidant, an antistatic agent, a release agent, a colorant, and the like can be blended. Specifically, polytetrafluoroethylene resin, graphite, calcium carbonate, clay, talc, silica, welastonite, elastomer and the like can be blended.

Each material constituting the resin composition is mixed with a Henschel mixer, a ball mixer, a ribbon blender, or the like, if necessary, and then melt-kneaded with a melt extruder such as a twin-screw kneading extruder to form pellets for molding. Can be obtained. The filling material may be fed by side feed when melt-kneading with a twin screw extruder or the like. Using this molding pellet, the pulley is molded integrally with the outer ring of the rolling bearing by insert molding (injection molding) or the like as described above. At the time of injection molding, the resin temperature is set to be equal to or higher than the melting points of the polyamide resins (A) and (B) described above, and the mold temperature is maintained below the glass transition temperature of the polyamide resin. In addition, when the use temperature of the pulley is equal to or higher than the mold temperature, there is a possibility of causing a dimensional change due to relaxation of the molding stress. Therefore, it is preferable to perform an annealing treatment (heat treatment) at the use temperature or higher.

As described above, the resin pulley in the bearing with the resin pulley of the present invention is formed by blending a predetermined amount of fibrous reinforcing material (glass fiber or carbon fiber) with a predetermined polyamide resin. Excellent heat resistance and calcium chloride resistance, suppressing dimensional changes and creep. For this reason, the belt can be properly guided even at a high temperature, and peeling and slipping at the fixed portion between the rolling bearing outer ring and the resin pulley can be prevented.

(4) For the high temperature tensile strength evaluation, the same tensile strength as in (2) was measured in a 120 ° C. atmosphere.
(5) Calcium chloride resistance is evaluated by dipping a dumbbell test piece in hot water at 95 ° C. for 48 hours to absorb water, spraying it on a 5 wt% calcium chloride aqueous solution, and then drying at 100 ° C. for 1 hour. With this as one cycle, the tensile strength and appearance were confirmed repeatedly for 3 cycles. The tensile strength was measured in the same manner as in (2), and the tensile strength retention rate was evaluated by comparison with that before spraying calcium chloride. As for the appearance, the surface of the test piece was observed with an optical microscope to confirm whether surface cracks or cracks occurred.

As shown in Table 1, each example was excellent in tensile strength after water absorption and at high temperature, and also excellent in calcium chloride resistance. On the other hand, each comparative example using other polyamide resins resulted in inferior tensile strength after water absorption and calcium chloride resistance.

The bearing with a resin pulley of the present invention is excellent in wear resistance, strength at high temperature, strength after water absorption, heat resistance, calcium chloride resistance, and can suppress dimensional change and creep. It can be suitably used as a pulley, idler pulley or tension pulley.
