Therefore, since polyamide 410 has a bio content of 100%, it can be used as a rolling device that is more environmentally friendly than conventional polyamide 66 or the like, which has only petroleum-derived components and has a bio content of 0%. can.
- the melting point of polyamide 410 is 250° C. and the melting point of polyamide 66 is close to 265° C., it can be seen from Table 1 that polyamide 66 can be sufficiently used as a substitute in applications where polyamide 66 was used.
- test piece (separator) of the example of the embodiment and the example of the comparative form was incorporated into an actual ball screw (with a shaft diameter of about ⁇ 40 mm, a lead of about 20 mm, and preloaded with an oversized ball), and the above conditions were applied. Steering operation is repeated under conditions I to condition III. Evaluate the durability of the synthetic resin cage by incorporating each cage of the example of the embodiment and the example of the comparative form into a rolling bearing unit for a wheel, and repeating the steering operation under the above conditions I to III. can be done.
- the grease composition having such a composition is excellent in durability itself, and has a low attacking property against the resin, so that it is preferably used when evaluating the durability of the resin parts.
- the amount of grease filled in the test ball screw is preferably 7% of the space volume of the ball screw, which is less than usual, in order to accelerate the difference due to the resin material.
- the preload load was 1500N
- the test rotation speed was 10000min -1
- the grease filling amount was set to 7% of the bearing space volume, which is smaller than usual, in order to see the difference due to the resin material. Time evaluation is possible.
- PA410 non-reinforced material (DSM EcoPaXX (registered trademark) Q170EH, thermal stabilizer containing grade, average molecular weight unknown) and PA66 non-reinforced material (BASF Ultramid A4H, thermal stabilizer containing grade) are molded by injection molding The heat resistance was evaluated in an environment of 120°C using the tensile test piece prepared. Table 2 below shows the tensile strength retention (initial is 100) and strain retention after 1000 hours.

Abstract
Description
例えば、図1に示すように、リニアガイド装置10は、外面に転動溝3を有する案内レール(第一部材)1と、その案内レール1を跨いで組み付けられたスライダ(第二部材)2とを備えている。スライダ2の案内レール1の転動溝3と対向する面は一部開口しており、案内レール1の転動溝3とともに断面略トラック状のボール循環経路4を形成している。そして、このボール循環経路4の内部に、多数のボール(転動体)Bが転動自在に収容される(特許文献1参照)。
しかし、アミド結合が分子構造中に多数存在する66ナイロン樹脂に対しては、分子構造が大きく異なるため、濡れ性が悪く、グリースの保持器への付着力は十分なものではなかった。また、脂肪族ポリアミド系材料で、低吸水性で、分子構造中にアミド結合が少ないものとしては、ポリアミド11(融点187℃)、ポリアミド12(融点176℃))があるが、融点が低いために、高速回転で軸受温度が上昇すると、軟化し、保持器が変形する虞があった。
前記保持部材を、ポリアミド410からなるポリアミド樹脂組成物で形成したことを特徴とする転動装置としたことである。
前記グリースの基油の主成分をポリα-オレフィン油としたことを特徴とする転動装置としたことである。
前記グリースは生分解性グリースとしたことを特徴とする転動装置としたことである。
また、ポリアミド410はバイオ度が100%で、カーボンニュートラルであることから、従来の石油由来成分のみでバイオ度が0%であったポリアミド66等に比べて、環境にやさしい転動装置とすることができる。
ポリアミド410は、ポリアミド66と融点が近いため、ポリアミド66を用いていた用途で、代替として十分使用可能である。
更に、アミド基間に長鎖炭化水素部分を有するC10部分(セバシン酸由来)があることで、分子構造が近いポリα-オレフィン油を主成分とする基油からなるグリースを適用することで、樹脂材料への濡れ性が良好に保たれ、樹脂部の摩耗を効果的に防止し、転動装置の長寿命化が可能となる。
また、グリースを、生分解性グリースとすると、更に環境にやさしい転動装置とすることができる。
「第一実施形態」
図2は、ねじ軸11(第一部材)に外嵌すると共に、当該ねじ軸11に沿って直進移動するナット(第二部材)12と、このナット12の内面側に形成されたボール溝14に保持され、当該ボール溝14と前記ねじ軸11との間で転動する多数のボール(転動体)Bと、各ボールBの間に介装されるセパレータ(保持部材)と、ナット12に形成され、ボール溝14の一端側から他端側にボールBを循環させる循環通路18とを有するボールねじの一例を示す。
そして、図1及び図2には図示省略しているが、何れも図3に示したように、ボールBとボールBとの間にセパレータ100を介装させてボール同士の衝突音を無くしている。
セパレータ100を形成するベース樹脂として用いられるポリアミド410樹脂は、当初、石油由来のテトラメチレンジアミン(1、4-ジアミノブタン、ブタンジアミン)と、植物由来のひまし油から誘導されるセバシン酸の重縮合物であったが、テトラメチレンジアミンも木片チップから作られる植物由来へと進化してきている。
更に、添加剤として樹脂に、成形時及び使用時の熱による劣化を防止するために、ヨウ化物系熱安定剤やアミン系酸化防止剤を、それぞれ単独あるいは併用して添加することが好ましい。
本発明に用いられるグリースは、増ちょう剤と基油とを主成分とし、基油は、本発明で用いられるポリアミド410への濡れ性を考慮して、ポリα―オレフィン油を主成分としたものであり、増ちょう剤は、アミンとイソシアネートからなるウレア化合物、Li石けん、Liコンプレックス石けん、Ba石けん、Baコンプレックス石けん等である。
生分解性グリースは、基油がエステル系のため、本発明のポリアミド410への濡れ性は良好である。
よって、同じポリアミド410で、直動装置の樹脂製循環部材に用いると、更に環境にやさしい直動装置とすることができる。
また、グリースを生分解性グリースとすると、更に環境にやさしい直動装置とすることができる。
また、循環通路18をポリアミド410からなる部材で形成するものであってもよい。この場合も転動体が転がり接触する通路表面のみがポリアミド410からなる部材で形成されているものであってもよい。
さらに、セパレータ100と循環通路18の双方がポリアミド410からなる部材で形成されているものであってもよい。
「第二実施形態」
以下、本発明の特徴部分について詳述し、本発明の特徴以外の構成及び作用効果については、従来の車輪用転がり軸受の構成及び作用効果を援用できるため、本明細書での詳細な説明は省略する。
また、これらの強化材は複数種を組み合わせて使用することができる。
衝撃強度を考慮すると、ガラス繊維や炭素繊維等の繊維状物を配合することが好ましく、更に相手材の損傷を考慮するとウィスカー状物を繊維状物と組み合わせて配合することが好ましい。混合使用する場合の混合比は、繊維状物及びウィスカー状物の種類により異なり、衝撃強度や相手材の損傷等を考慮して適宜選択される。
本発明で用いられるポリアミド410樹脂は、車輪用転がり軸受の保持器で一般的に用いられるポリアミド66に比べて、アミド基間に、長い炭化水素鎖を有するC10(セバシン酸由来)部分が存在することで、ポリα-オレフィン油との濡れ性に優れている。
また、このグリースには、他の添加剤を加えることもできる。例えば、アミン系やフェノール系等の酸化防止剤、Caスルホネート等の防錆剤、MoDTC等の極圧添加剤、モンタン酸エステルワックス、モンタン酸エステル部分けん化ワックス、ポリエチレンワックス、オレイン酸等油性向上剤、などである。
生分解性グリースは、基油がエステル系のため、本発明のポリアミド410樹脂への濡れ性は良好である。
「具体的実施の形態の例」
表1に示すポリアミド樹脂(樹脂ペレット)を用いて、保持部材、例えば、第一実施形態に示すセパレータ、第二実施形態に示す合成樹脂製保持器(実施の形態の例・比較の形態の例)を射出成形により作製することができる。射出成形の際には、ピンゲートを用いることが好ましい。性能を比較する場合は、この分野で使用実績のあるポリアミド66にて比較用の保持部材(比較の形態の例)を作成することができる。また、いずれも0~10質量%の繊維状強化材を含有させることが好ましい。
・比較の形態の例のベース樹脂:BASF製ポリアミド66樹脂(ウルトラミッド(登録商標)A4H(熱安定剤含有グレード、平均分子量不明)
また、植物由来のひまし油から誘導されるセバシン酸と植物由来のテトラメチレンジアミンを原料とすることで、バイオ度が100%となり、環境にやさしい材料(カーボンニュートラル)となっている。
よって、ポリアミド410はバイオ度が100%であることから、従来の石油由来成分のみでバイオ度が0%であったポリアミド66等に比べて、環境にやさしい転動装置とすることとすることができる。また、ポリアミド410の融点は250℃で、ポリアミド66の融点が265℃と近いため、ポリアミド66を用いていた用途で、代替として十分使用可能であることが表1において分かる。
実施の形態の例・比較の形態の例の各保持部材を、下記条件Iまたは条件IIの下に放置し、所定時間経過後に保持部材外径寸法の変化量を測定することで、保持部材としての寸法安定性の評価ができる。
何れの条件においても、変化量が50μm以下であることが望ましい。
・条件I:60℃、90%RH、70hr
・条件II:80℃、90%RH、70hr
耐久性の評価を行う場合は以下の条件で実施することが、いわゆるコストパフォーマンスに優れており好ましい。
・条件I :30℃、 50%RH
・条件II:50℃、 90%RH
・条件III:80℃、50%RH
実施の形態の例・比較の形態の例の各保持器を車輪用転がり軸受ユニットに組み込み、上記条件I~IIIにて操舵操作を繰返し行うことで合成樹脂製保持器の耐久性を評価することができる。
何れの条件においても、1000hrの連続運転(軸回転速度:1000min-1)ができた場合を合格「○」、1000hrの連続運転ができなかったものを不合格「×」として評価することができる。
従来の高吸水のポリアミド樹脂からなる比較の形態では、高温、高湿度の過酷な条件では、寸法安定性が悪いために、それに伴って耐久性も持たなくなると思われる。
ここで、内部空間に充填するグリースは、ポリα-オレフィン油(100℃で5.7mm2/s程度)を基油とし、脂肪族ジウレア化合物を増ちょう剤(増ちょう剤量:13重量%程度)に、各種添加剤を配合されたちょう度No.2のものとし、添加剤としては、極圧添加剤、酸化防止剤、防錆剤が通常量含有しているものとすることが好ましい。また、このような組成のグリース組成物は、それ自体の耐久性が優れるうえ、樹脂への攻撃性も低いため樹脂部品の耐久性を評価する場合に使用することが好ましい。
なお、試験ボールねじのグリース充填量については、樹脂材料による差異を、いわゆる加速して見るために、通常より少ないボールねじ空間容積の7%とすることが好ましい。
試験軸受の組み込み時予圧荷重は1500N、試験回転数は10000min-1とし、グリース充填量は、樹脂材料による差異を見るために、通常より少ない軸受空間容積の7%とすることで、比較的短時間での評価が可能となる。
図8に示す車輪用転がり軸受に組み込まれている冠型保持器(実施の形態の例、比較の形態の例)について、自動組み込み試験機(図示せず)を用いて、組み込み試験を実施し、試験後保持器爪部の白化・割れ・変形を確認することができる。各保持器でn=10個の試験を行い、1個も異常が見られないことが望まれる。
実施の形態の例が全ての試験で合格すると考えられるのに対し、従来の高吸水のポリアミド樹脂からなる比較の形態の例は、高温、高湿度の過酷な条件では、寸法安定性が悪いために、それに伴って耐久性も持たなくなっていると思われる。なお、組み込み性にあっては、実施の形態の例・比較の形態の例共に同レベルであると考えられる。
PA410非強化材料(DSM製EcoPaXX(登録商標) Q170EH、熱安定剤含有グレード、平均分子量不明)と、PA66非強化材料(BASF製ウルトラミッド A4H、熱安定剤含有グレード)について、射出成形にて成形された引張試験片を用いて、120℃の環境で耐熱性を評価した。1000時間後の引張強度保持率(初期を100)と歪み保持率を以下の表2に示す。
