- a region is provided in which the resin composition is not present on a part of the inner circumferential surface of the sliding member and the non-porous layer formed of a metal simple substance or an alloy composition is exposed. Since the resin composition is not present in the surrounding area and the non-porous layer does not contain a large number of voids like the porous layer, this region has a concave shape compared to the surrounding area and plays a role like a groove.

- the sliding member 10 can be applied whether the shaft 20 rotates or moves linearly.
- the sliding member 10 may be used in a sliding part where oil is used in a linear motion, such as a shock absorber for an automobile.

- a gear pump that delivers oil by rotating a gear-shaped member.
- the metal substrate 11 has a cylindrical shape.
- the metal substrate 11 can be manufactured, for example, by rolling a metal sheet material into a cylindrical shape and then welding the joint portion 11a (see Figure 2).
- the material of the metal substrate 11 is not particularly limited as long as it has sufficient strength and shape stability to be used as a backing metal base material for a bearing, but it can be, for example, low carbon steel (SPCC, SS400, etc.) or a copper-plated steel sheet in which an Fe-based sheet material is plated with Cu.
- the porous layer 12 has a cylindrical shape and is formed by sintering metal powder (a mixed powder described below, or an alloy powder obtained by alloying the mixed powder during spraying) onto the surface of the metal substrate 11.
- the thickness of the porous layer 12 may be a thickness that allows at least two or more pieces of metal powder to be sintered together, and may be, for example, 0.5 mm or less.
- the sliding layer 13 is formed by impregnating the porous layer 12 with a resin composition to a predetermined thickness, and then baking the resin composition impregnated into the porous layer 12.
- the thickness of the sliding layer 13 may be set to be thicker on average than the thickness of the porous layer 12 so that the porous layer 12 is not exposed.

- the resin composition of the sliding layer 13 may have dispersed therein hard particle powder 13a including a Laves phase composed of Co, Mo, and Si.
- the Laves phase is an intermetallic compound based on AB 2 type composed of A element and B element with an atomic radius ratio of about 1.2:1, and has three types of structures: MgZn 2 (C14), MgCu 2 (C15), and MgNi 2 (C36).
- the Laves phase composed of Co, Mo, and Si (more specifically, Co 3 Mo 2 Si) is a Laves phase in which the A element is Mo, the B element is Co, and 25 at % of Co is replaced by Si, and is an MgZn 2 type having a hexagonal crystal structure.
- the Vickers hardness of the Laves phase composed of Co 3 Mo 2 Si is Hv1000 to 1200.
- the hard particle powder 13a dispersed in the sliding layer 13 is considered to receive a higher load than the resin composition forming the sliding layer 13.
- the hard Laves phase composed of Co, Mo, and Si precipitates on the friction surface and supports the load, which can be advantageous in reducing wear of the sliding layer 13.
- a sulfide film of MoS2 can be formed on the friction surface by Mo in the Laves phase and S in the lubricating oil.
- MoS2 is a material known as a sulfide that replaces the solid lubricity of lead and contributes to improving friction characteristics. Compared to the bonds between molybdenum and between molybdenum and sulfur, the bonds between sulfur are weaker when friction occurs, so that lubrication occurs by selectively breaking the bonds between sulfur, which can effectively act to suppress wear.
- Mo oxides generated on the friction surface by oxidation of Mo in the Laves phase during sliding can also exert a lubricating effect and effectively act to suppress wear.
- MoS 2 molybdenum disulfide
- bronze powder not containing a Laves phase may be further dispersed in the resin composition of the sliding layer 13.
- MoS 2 is a material known as a sulfide that substitutes for the solid lubricity of lead and contributes to improving friction characteristics, and since the bond between sulfur is weaker than the bond between molybdenum and between molybdenum and sulfur, when friction occurs, the bond between sulfur is selectively broken, causing lubrication and effectively suppressing wear.
- the resin composition of the sliding layer 13 may be composed of copper sulfide (CuS), thermoplastic resin, molybdenum disulfide ( MoS2 ), graphite, aramid fiber, and the remainder being fluororesin (however, the resin composition does not contain lithium phosphate).
- the resin composition may contain more than 3 mass% and less than 40 mass% copper sulfide, 0 mass% to less than 4 mass% thermoplastic resin, 0 mass% to 36 mass% molybdenum disulfide, 0 mass% to 10 mass% graphite, 0 mass% to 10 mass% aramid fiber, and the remainder being fluororesin.
- the heat dissipation characteristics of the sliding layer 13 are improved. This suppresses the temperature rise of the sliding layer 13 caused by the sliding of the sliding object, and suppresses deformation of the sliding layer 13 due to the temperature rise.
- the strength of the sliding layer 13 is improved. It is known that the strength of the resin layer is improved by including a carbon fiber filler in the resin composition that forms the sliding layer. In contrast, by including copper sulfide in the resin composition, the strength is improved in the same way as when a carbon fiber filler is included, even if no carbon fiber filler is included. The improvement in the strength of the sliding layer 13 also suppresses deformation of the sliding layer 5 due to the sliding of the sliding object.
- Copper sulfide is known as copper (I) sulfide (Cu 2 S) and copper (II) sulfide (CuS). Copper (I) sulfide (Cu 2 S) is stable even at 1000° C. or higher. In contrast, copper (II) sulfide (CuS) changes to copper (I) sulfide (Cu 2 S) at around 200° C.
- the resin composition 4 is heated at a temperature exceeding 327° C. in the step of baking the sliding layer 13. Therefore, when the resin composition contains copper (II) sulfide (CuS), copper (II) sulfide (CuS) changes to copper (I) sulfide (Cu 2 S) in the step of baking the sliding layer 13.
- the slide layer 13 of the slide member 10 which is the manufactured product, contains cuprous sulfide (Cu 2 S).
- cuprous sulfide (Cu 2 S) or cupric sulfide (CuS) may be used as the raw material for copper sulfide, it is preferable to use cupric sulfide (CuS) in view of processability.
- the resin composition forming the sliding layer 13 preferably contains copper sulfide in an amount of more than 8% by mass and less than 40% by mass in order to improve heat dissipation characteristics and strength. If the amount of copper sulfide added is 3% by mass or less or 40% by mass or more, the heat dissipation characteristics deteriorate and the wear resistance characteristics are impaired.

- the porous layer 12 may have a matrix phase containing Cu and Sn, and hard particles dispersed in the matrix phase.
- the porous layer 12 may be formed by sintering an alloy powder obtained by alloying the mixed powder when spraying. By making it into an alloy powder, the sintering of the powder is promoted to form necks, and the powders can be sufficiently bonded together. In addition, by making it into an alloy powder, the hard particles are refined and uniformly dispersed in the matrix phase. Note that, when the hard particle powder 13a is dispersed in the sliding layer 13 described above, the porous layer 13 does not need to contain hard particles.
- the matrix phase is a bronze-based alloy containing Cu as the main component and further containing Sn.
- the matrix phase may be composed of a solid solution of Cu, Sn, and Ni.
- Bi particles may be distributed in the crystal grain boundaries of the matrix phase.
- Bi exerts a self-lubricating effect similar to that of Pb in conventional lead bronze at the friction surface where the sliding layer 4 wears and part of the porous layer 3 is exposed, and acts as a lubricant between the two rubbing surfaces, thereby reducing friction.
- the hard particles may contain a Laves phase composed of Co, Mo, and Si.
- the hard particles dispersed in the matrix phase are considered to receive a higher load than the soft bronze that becomes the matrix phase, but the hard Laves phase composed of Co, Mo, and Si precipitates on the friction surface and supports the load, which can be advantageous in reducing wear of the porous layer 12.
- a sulfide film of MoS 2 can be formed on the friction surface by Mo in the Laves phase and S in the lubricating oil.
- MoS 2 is a material known as a sulfide that replaces the solid lubricity of lead and contributes to improving friction characteristics, and since the bond between sulfur is weaker than the bond between molybdenum and between molybdenum and sulfur, when friction occurs, the bond between sulfur is selectively broken, causing lubrication, which can be effective in suppressing wear.
- Mo oxides generated on the friction surface by oxidation of Mo in the Laves phase during sliding can also exert a lubricating effect and can be effective in suppressing wear.
- the content of the hard particles may be, for example, 40% by mass or less when the entire porous layer 12 is taken as 100% by mass.

- the depth D of the concave space in the non-porous layer 14 may be, for example, 0.2 to 0.3 mm.
- the width (length in the circumferential direction) W of the non-porous layer 14 may be 0.1 to 10% of the inner circumference of the sliding member 10. For example, when the inner circumference of the sliding member 10 is 60 to 70 mm, the width W of the non-porous layer 14 may be 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm.

- the first powder is a bronze-based alloy powder containing Cu as a main component and further containing Sn.
- the first powder may further contain Bi or P. If the first powder contains Bi, Bi particles are precipitated in the matrix phase 10 during sintering of the raw material powder described later (i.e., step S20), and Bi exhibits a self-lubricating effect similar to that of Pb in conventional lead bronze, thereby reducing friction. If the first powder contains P, oxygen mixed in copper can be removed (deoxidized) to suppress hydrogen embrittlement.

Because Cu and Sn dissolve from the hard particle powder during sintering, the content of hard particles in the sliding layer 12 varies depending on the amount of hard particle powder mixed in the raw material powder.
- the second powder is an alloy powder containing Cu as the main component, and further containing Co, Fe, Ni, Si and Cr.
- the second powder may further contain Sn, for example, 1 mass% or more of Sn.

- the solid-phase temperatures of the hard particle powder and the second powder can be reduced, and the hard particle powder and the second powder can be solid-phase sintered to the metal substrate (backing metal base material) at approximately 800°C.
- the Sn contained in the hard particle powder dissolves in the Cu-Sn matrix phase 10 side of the first powder during sintering, and is diffusion-bonded. As sintering progresses due to powder shrinkage via Sn, solid-solution strengthening by the Sn in the matrix phase 10 and the Sn contained in the hard particle powder occurs, and ultimately a high-strength alloy can be formed.
- the metal substrate 11 is rolled up with the porous layer 12 on the inside to form a cylindrical shape (step S30), and the seam portion 11a is welded from the outer diameter side of the metal substrate 11 (step S40).
- the welding method may be TIG welding (argon gas welding) or laser welding (pulse welding).
- the porous layer 12 above the seam portion 11a melts due to the heat during welding, and the many voids contained in the porous layer 12 are crushed, forming a non-porous layer 14 formed of a simple metal or an alloy composition. No seam appears on the inner diameter surface. In the non-porous layer 14, the apparent volume is reduced by the amount of the voids contained in the porous layer 12, so the inner diameter surface has a concave shape compared to the surrounding porous layer 12.
- the inner surface of the porous layer 12 may be burnished by pressing a cylindrical core metal 42 into the inside of the porous layer 12 while restraining the outer surface of the metal substrate 11 with a die 41 (see FIG. 10).
- the surface of the porous layer 12 is impregnated with the raw resin of the sliding layer 13 (step S50).
- a predetermined amount of the resin composition may be supplied onto the porous layer 12 formed on the inner circumferential surface of the metal substrate 11, and the resin composition may be pressed against the porous layer 12 by the rotation pressure of the impregnation roll, thereby impregnating the porous layer 12 with the resin composition.
- the resin composition supplied onto the porous layer 12 may have at least one of a hard particle powder 13a containing a Laves phase composed of Co, Mo, and Si, and a molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) powder dispersed therein.

- the resin composition may contain copper sulfide as an additive, and may further contain molybdenum disulfide, or may contain graphite and aramid fibers as other additives.
- the amount of the resin composition supplied onto the porous layer 12 is an amount that covers the porous layer 12 with a thickness that does not expose the porous layer 12 from the surface of the sliding layer 13 after the resin composition is baked as described below.
- the surface of the non-porous layer 14 is not in a state where the raw resin is impregnated between the pores, but rather the raw resin is simply placed on top of the non-porous layer 14.
- the resin composition is heated at a temperature exceeding the melting point of the resin contained in the resin composition to melt the resin and volatilize the organic solvent, and then the resin is cured to form the sliding layer 13 made of the resin composition that covers the porous layer 12 (step S60).
- Heating the resin composition at a predetermined temperature to form the sliding layer 13 is called baking.
- the melting point of polytetrafluoroethylene used as the resin is 327°C.

- FIG. 7 is a flow diagram showing another example of a method for manufacturing the sliding member 10.
- the raw material powder of the porous layer 12 is spread on one surface of the metal substrate (step S10), and then the raw material powder spread on the metal substrate 11 is sintered to form the porous layer 12 (step S20).

- the resin composition is heated to a temperature exceeding the melting point of the resin contained in the resin composition to melt the resin and volatilize the organic solvent, and then the resin is cured to form a sliding layer 13 made of the resin composition that covers the porous layer 12 (step S160).
- the metal substrate 11 is rolled up with the sliding layer 13 on the inside to form a cylindrical shape (step S130), and the seam portion 11a is welded from the outer diameter side of the metal substrate 11 (step S140).
- the welding method may be TIG welding (argon gas welding) or laser welding (pulse welding).
- the heat from the welding melts the porous layer 12 above the seam portion 11a, crushing many voids contained in the porous layer 12 and forming a non-porous layer 14 formed of a simple metal or an alloy composition, and the resin composition on the seam portion 11a peels off, forming a region 15 where the resin composition is not present on part of the inner circumferential surface and the non-porous layer 14 is exposed.
- the outer peripheral surface of the metal substrate 11 is constrained by a die 41 while a cylindrical core metal 42 is pressed into the inside of the sliding layer 13, thereby burnishing the inner peripheral surface of the sliding layer 13 to set the inner diameter roundness to 50 ⁇ m or less (step S70).
- the resin composition is not present on a portion of the inner circumferential surface of the sliding member 10, and a region 15 is provided in which the non-porous layer 14 formed of a metal element or an alloy composition is exposed.
- This region is recessed compared to the surrounding area because there is no resin composition present in the surrounding area, and the non-porous layer does not contain many voids like a porous layer, and plays a role like a groove.
- the inner surface of the groove does not come into contact with the shaft that is being slid against, which contributes to reducing heat generation due to friction. This suppresses temperature rise in the high-speed rotation area, and improves the performance of the bearing itself.
- the groove maintains the formation of an oil film on the sliding surface, so heat generation is expected to be further reduced compared to use in a dry environment.
- the resin composition is not present on a portion of the inner circumferential surface of the sliding member 10, and an area 15 is provided where a non-porous layer 14 formed of a metal alone or an alloy composition is exposed, and no protrusions due to seams appear on the sliding surface, reducing the torque generated during friction at the seams. This contributes to reducing power consumption and energy loss, and therefore contributes to carbon neutrality.
- an inner diameter cutting process i.e., surface alignment of the inner surface at the seam portion
- a part of the inner peripheral surface of the sliding member 10 is free of the resin composition, and an area 15 is provided where the non-porous layer 14 formed of a simple metal or alloy composition is exposed, and no protrusions due to the seam appear on the sliding surface, so the inner diameter cutting process can be eliminated.
- the region 15 where the resin composition is not present is provided so as to extend from one end to the other end in the axial direction of the sliding member 10, so that the effect of reducing heat generation due to friction is obtained continuously from one end to the other end in the axial direction. This makes it possible to further suppress temperature rise in the high-speed rotation region.
- the region 15 where the resin composition is not present has a recessed shape compared to the surrounding area and acts like a groove.
- the region 15 is formed by the heat generated during welding when the joint portion 11a of the metal base material 11 is welded, so the number of steps can be reduced compared to when the sliding layer is formed and then processed into an uneven shape.

That is, in Comparative Example 1, a carbon steel round bar was machined on a lathe to an outer diameter of ⁇ 22 mm, an inner diameter of ⁇ 20.62 mm, and a total length of 10.35 mm to obtain a seamless, thin-walled cylindrical metal substrate. In Comparative Example 2, a carbon steel plate material with a length of 67 mm, a width of 11 mm, and a thickness of 0.75 mm was machined into a rolled bushing to obtain a cylindrical metal substrate with a seam of 2 mm or less in width (seam type).

- the frictional heat generation was evaluated using the bearing temperature rise rate as an evaluation index, and the temperature slope against the time until the bearing back temperature reached 80°C was analyzed by regression analysis.
- the wear amount was calculated by measuring the thickness of the sliding parts before and after the test with a tube micrometer and calculating the thickness change at the load point.
- the shaft rotation speed is said to reach a maximum of 10,000 rpm for the compressor's main shaft and a maximum of around 30,000 rpm for the EV motor. Taking this into consideration, the range was set to 10,000 to 50,000 rpm.
- a radial load of 10 N was applied to the bearing in one direction, taking into account the usage limits of the spindle motor at high speed rotation and safety.
- the target clearance between the bearing and the shaft was set to 0.1 mm, and the shaft was polished to a surface roughness of Ra 0.17 ⁇ m before being subjected to testing.
- the sliding member according to the embodiment has an area 15 on the inner circumferential surface where the resin composition is not present, and as shown in FIG. 12, a position 90° away from the area 15 in the circumferential direction was set as the load point (hereinafter, the position of this load point is referred to as load category A).
- the power can be converted into electric power, and can be expressed as in the following equation (1).
- R is the radius of rotation (m)
- F is the frictional force (N)
- N is the shaft rotation speed (rpm)
- T is the torque (N ⁇ m)
- E is the power (W)
- P is the power rate (W).
- FIG. 14 is a graph showing the change over time of the bearing back temperature measured when the shaft rotation speed N is 15,000 rpm for the sliding members according to the embodiment and comparative examples 1 to 3
- FIG. 15 is a graph showing the change over time of the bearing back temperature measured when the shaft rotation speed N is 20,000 rpm
- FIG. 16 is a graph showing the change over time of the bearing back temperature measured when the shaft rotation speed N is 25,000 rpm
- FIG. 17 is a graph showing the change over time of the bearing back temperature measured when the shaft rotation speed N is 30,000 rpm
- FIG. 18 is a graph showing the change over time of the bearing back temperature measured when the shaft rotation speed N is 35,000 rpm.
- Figure 19 is a graph showing the change in temperature rise rate versus shaft rotation speed in the range of 10,000 to 50,000 rpm for the sliding members of the example and comparative examples 1 to 3, and Figure 20 is a graph showing the change in power consumption versus shaft rotation speed in the same range.
- the shaft rotation speed at which a sudden increase in the temperature rise rate and power consumption occurs is 15,000 rpm for the sliding member of Comparative Example 3, 25,000 rpm for the sliding member of Comparative Example 2, and 30,000 rpm for the sliding member of Comparative Example 1, while it is 35,000 rpm for the sliding member of the Example. Therefore, it was confirmed that the sliding member of the Example has a higher allowable limit rotation speed than the sliding members of Comparative Examples 1 to 3.
- Figure 21 is a graph showing the change in temperature rise rate versus shaft rotation speed in the range close to the shaft rotation speed where the temperature rise rate and power consumption suddenly increase for the sliding members according to the embodiment and comparative examples 1 to 3
- Figure 22 is a graph showing the change in power consumption versus shaft rotation speed in the same range.
- the sliding member of Comparative Example 3 has a nearly constant temperature rise rate and power consumption in the shaft rotation speed range of 7,000 to 8,000 rpm, but rises sharply when the shaft rotation speed exceeds 8,000 rpm, so it can be determined that the allowable limit rotation speed is 8,000 ⁇ 1,000 rpm.
- the sliding member of Comparative Example 2 has a nearly constant temperature rise rate and power consumption in the shaft rotation speed range of 22,000 to 25,000 rpm, but rises sharply when the shaft rotation speed exceeds 25,000 rpm, so it can be determined that the allowable limit rotation speed is 23,500 ⁇ 1,500 rpm.
- the temperature rise rate and power consumption are almost constant in the shaft rotation speed range of 27,000 to 30,000 rpm, but rise sharply when the shaft rotation speed exceeds 30,000 rpm, so it can be determined that the allowable limit rotation speed is 28,500 ⁇ 1,500 rpm.
- the temperature rise rate and power consumption are almost constant in the shaft rotation speed range of 30,000 to 33,000 rpm, but rise sharply when the shaft rotation speed exceeds 33,000 rpm, so it can be determined that the allowable limit rotation speed is 31,500 ⁇ 1,500 rpm.
- Figure 25 is a graph showing the change in temperature rise rate versus shaft rotation speed measured for load categories A and B for the sliding member of the embodiment
- Figure 26 is a graph showing the change in power consumption versus shaft rotation speed.
- load categories A and B have approximately the same temperature rise rate and power consumption changes, but in the shaft rotation speed range of 33,000 rpm or more, load category A has a higher temperature rise rate and power consumption than load category B.
- load category A the temperature rise occurs due to the accumulation of frictional heat at the contact area
- load category B it is presumed that the frictional heat at the contact area is mitigated by the grooves in area 15 where no resin composition is present, making it easier to dissipate, thereby suppressing the temperature rise.

前記摺動層は、樹脂組成物で形成され、
内周面の一部に前記樹脂組成物が存在せず、前記金属単体または合金組成物で形成された非多孔質な層が露出した領域を有する。
また、摺動部材の内周面の一部に樹脂組成物が存在せず、金属単体または合金組成物で形成された非多孔質な層が露出した領域が設けられており、摺動面に合わせ目による突起が現れないため、継目での摩擦時に発生するトルクが低減する。これにより、消費電力の低減に貢献し、エネルギーロスを削減する。したがって、カーボンニュートラルに貢献できる。
また、EVモータや電動コンプレッサ等の高回転環境下で使用される軸受について、従来の転がり軸受から本実施形態に係る摺動部材に置き換えることが可能となり、これにより、小型軽量化につながる。

図1は、一実施の形態に係る摺動部材10の概略構成を示す斜視図である。図2は、摺動部材10の溶接部を外周側から撮影した写真画像であり、図3は、摺動部材10の溶接部に対応する領域を内周側から撮影した写真画像であり、図4は、摺動層形成(樹脂の含浸および焼成)前の溶接部に対応する領域の断面組織の光学顕微鏡写真である。図5は、一実施の形態に係る摺動部材の溶接部以外の領域の断面組織の反射電子組成像である。図4および図5では、紙面上側が摺動部材10の内周側、紙面下側が摺動部材10の外周側に対応している。
摺動層13を形成する樹脂組成物は、放熱特性及び強度を向上させるため、硫化銅を8質量%超40質量%未満で含むことが好ましい。硫化銅の添加量は、3質量%以下及び40質量%以上であれば放熱特性が悪化し、耐摩耗特性を阻害するようになる。なお、市販品としては、寺田薬泉工業社製の硫化第二銅(CuS)、関東化学社製の硫化第二銅(CuS)、高純度化学研究所社製の硫化第一銅(Cu2S)等を挙げることができる。
一変形例に係る摺動層13の樹脂組成物において、熱可塑性樹脂は必須の添加剤ではないが、添加する場合は、フッ素樹脂の欠点である耐摩耗性、耐クリープ特性が改善できるので添加することが好ましい。
一変形例に係る摺動層13の樹脂組成物において、黒鉛は必須の添加剤ではないが、自己潤滑性及び、耐熱性の向上、低摩擦特性と耐摩耗特性に寄与することが期待できる。黒鉛を添加する場合、10質量%を超えると低摩擦特性を阻害するようになる。なお、市販品としては、日本黒鉛工業社製のUCP、CPB、オリエンタル産業社製のATシリーズ等を挙げることができる。
一変形例に係る摺動層13の樹脂組成物において、二硫化モリブデン(MoS2)は必須の添加剤ではないが、添加することにより摩擦抵抗を低下させることが出来る。
一変形例に係る摺動層13の樹脂組成物において、アラミド繊維は必須の添加剤ではないが、機械的強度を得るために添加する。アラミド繊維を添加する場合、10質量%以上添加すると、均一な分散を阻害するようになるので、その結果、耐摩耗特性が低下する。なお、市販品としては、東レ・デュポン社製のケブラー(登録商標)、帝人のトワロン(登録商標)等を挙げることができる。

まず、多孔質層12の原料粉末として、福田金属箔粉工業(株)製青銅粉末(不定形、銘柄;CP-301)において、粒度150μm以上の粗粉をカットした粉末を準備した。青銅粉末の化学成分はCu-10Snである。
次に、実施例および比較例1~3の摺動部材の性能を高速回転摩耗試験により比較した。図11に高速回転摩耗試験機を示す。本試験機は、供試材に相手軸を介して荷重と速度を与えたときの軸受背面温度を計測し、主に高速領域における摩耗量や発熱評価に適する。試験部にオイルバスを設け、油中と無潤滑双方の環境での評価を可能に設計してある。また高回転評価を実現するため、相手軸Φ6h7にコレクトチャックを介して進桜電機(株)製スピンドルモータ(型式S262B-SJ03、定格出力1.2kW、定格電圧200V、定格電流4.8A)を先端部に直結させた。これにより、軸振れ0.002mm以下の精度で最大60,000rpmまでの評価が可能な装置に設計した。スピンドルモータにはチラーを介して流量0.7L/minで水冷している。
