Definitions
- the present invention relates to a roller with a cage, a roller bearing with a cage, and a cage used in, for example, a support structure for a crankshaft and a connecting rod support structure for a four-wheeled vehicle, a two-wheeled vehicle, and a general-purpose engine. And a technique for solving excessive temperature rise.
- a roller with a cage is composed of a roller and a cage, and has a structure in which the outer peripheral surface of the roller is in line contact with the raceway surfaces of the inner ring and the outer ring. For this reason, it has the advantage that high load capacity and high rigidity can be obtained for a small bearing projected area. Accordingly, the roller with cage is widely used in various fields including automobiles.
- a roller with a cage of a sliding bearing or a rolling bearing is used for a large and small end of a two-wheeled vehicle. In the case of a two-cycle engine, the large and small ends are lubricated by a spray-like mixed liquid in which gasoline and engine oil are mixed.
- rollers with cages used copper plating or silver plating in order to prevent the outer diameter and width of the cage from being worn and excessive temperature rise.
- composite plating in which the base material is nickel as a main material and fine particles of fluororesin are uniformly dispersed and co-deposited has been proposed (Patent Document 1). This device is a countermeasure content from the viewpoint of preventing wear and excessive temperature rise under high-speed use conditions.
- a composite plating containing nickel as a main material and containing a fluororesin is formed on the cage for the purpose of preventing wear and excessive temperature rise for high speed.
- the wear of copper and silver plating in recent years is not severe in use conditions, but the plating dissolves (disappears) due to a chemical reaction due to the influence of lubricating oil, and the temperature of the cage may rise excessively. . In particular, it often occurs in bearings used in 4-cycle engines.
- the oil used is completely different between the 2-cycle engine and the 4-cycle engine.
- the 4-cycle engine the engine oil stored in the oil pan is pumped and lubricates each part of the engine, and then returns to the oil pan again.
- engine oil is mixed with fuel and adheres to the rotating and sliding parts, or each part of the engine is lubricated by pumping from the oil tank, and then enters the combustion chamber with the mixture and burns. To do.
- the performance required for the two-cycle engine oil and the four-cycle engine oil is greatly different due to the difference in the structure such as the difference in the lubrication mechanism and the valve mechanism.
- the major difference in composition between these 2-cycle engine oil and 4-cycle engine oil is the presence or absence of sulfated ash and zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (abbreviated as ZnDTP).
- ZnDTP zinc dialkyldithiophosphate
- the low sulfated ash content in the two-cycle engine oil is that the acid neutralization performance of the overbased detergent, which is the main factor of the ash content, is not required, and the ash content increases the combustion chamber deposits and can cause plug misfire. Because there is.
- ZnDTP is not prescribed for the two-cycle engine oil is that the two-cycle engine does not require anti-oxidation property of the oil, and because there is no valve mechanism, severe wear prevention performance is not required.
- ZnDTP is usually pyrolyzed at 150 to 200 ° C, but there is a report that the temperature around the piston and ring during high load operation exceeds 200 ° C. , Causing ring sticking. In order to prevent this piston contamination and ring sticking, a large amount of detergent is required, which is why ZnDTP is not added.
- the ZnDTP has antioxidation ability, corrosion prevention ability, load bearing performance, wear prevention ability and the like, and is widely used in engine oil and industrial lubricating oil as a so-called multifunctional additive.
- ZnDTP As a wear prevention mechanism of ZnDTP, (1) Sulfur and phosphorus in ZnDTP react with metals to form iron sulfide and phosphate films to prevent wear. (2) ZnDTP decomposes to form a polyphosphate film on the metal surface to prevent wear.
- the theory is powerful.
- the 4-cycle engine oil contains ZnDTP, which is an additive, and sulfur is contained in the components in this ZnDTP.
- this sulfur reacts with metal to form a film and has an anti-wear effect, but it has been found from various evaluations and market-collected products that copper plating and silver plating applied to the cage are ineffective did.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a surface treatment that is not affected by the additives contained in the oil used, to prevent wear of the cage and excessive temperature rise, and to improve the adhesion between the surface treatment layer and the substrate. It is intended to provide a roller with a cage and a bearing using the roller with a cage.
- the roller with cage according to the present invention is the roller with cage having a plurality of rollers and a ring-shaped cage having pockets respectively holding the rollers at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction.
- a base plating layer is applied to at least one or both of the outer diameter surface and the width surface
- a Ni / PTFE plating layer containing nickel and PTFE is applied to the surface of the base plating layer.
- the “PTFE” is an abbreviation for polytetrafluoroethylene, which is a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene, which is a fluorocarbon resin composed of only fluorine atoms and carbon atoms. This fluorocarbon resin shape is a polygonal shape.
- the plating obtains the adhesion force by the bonding of the metals, the adhesion force is improved by the bonding of the metals having similar compositions. Since nickel has a property that it is difficult to react with additives compared to copper and silver, elution can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent nickel or the like in the Ni / PTFE plating layer from being dissolved into the engine oil. Accordingly, the self-lubricating property of the Ni / PTFE plating layer prevents the cage from being worn and excessively heated, and allows the engine to operate for a long period of time.
- the base plating layer and the Ni / PTFE plating layer are provided on at least one or both of the outer diameter surface and the width surface of the cage, the wear of the outer diameter surface when the cage is an outer ring guide type.
- the plurality of rollers with cages are arranged close to each other in the axial direction, the width surfaces of adjacent cages are prevented from coming into contact with each other and being worn.
- the PTFE in the Ni / PTFE plating layer may be one in which PTFE particles are dispersed during nickel plating.
- the base plating layer may be a nickel plating layer. Since the nickel plating layer and the Ni / PTFE plating layer contain a common composition, that is, nickel, the composition in the vicinity of both layers gradually changes, and the interface between the nickel plating layer and the Ni / PTFE plating layer adheres without gaps. Can be made. Therefore, the adhesiveness is excellent over the base material, the nickel plating layer, and the Ni ⁇ PTFE plating layer.
- the adhesion strength of the plating is due to the bonding between metals, and by providing a nickel plating layer having a composition similar to that of the Ni / PTFE plating layer, the adhesion strength becomes higher than when the Ni / PTFE plating is directly processed on the cage.
- the surface roughness of the Ni / PTFE plating layer may be Ra 0.7 ⁇ m or less.
- Ra is the center line average roughness Ra defined by Japanese Industrial Standards.
- the wear amount of the plating itself tends to increase. This is because the unevenness of the roughness itself is higher and the surface roughness is easier to wear.
- by setting the surface roughness of the Ni / PTFE plating layer to Ra 0.7 ⁇ m or less it becomes possible to reduce the unevenness of the roughness itself and to reduce the wear amount of the plating itself. .
- the amount of PTFE of the Ni / PTFE plating layer applied to the surface of the base plating layer is 20 vol% or more and 35 vol% or less.
- the amount of PTFE in the Ni / PTFE plating layer is small, the friction coefficient is high and the sliding characteristics are inferior, and the amount of plating wear tends to be large. In particular, when the amount of PTFE is less than 20 vol%, wear becomes significant. On the contrary, when the amount of PTFE is too large, the hardness after heat treatment is low, so that the amount of wear tends to increase. Further, when a large amount of PTFE is contained, the cost increases. If the amount of PTFE exceeds 35 vol%, the hardness after heat treatment tends to be low, so the amount of wear tends to increase.
- the wear coefficient of the Ni / PTFE plating layer is 20 vol% or more and 35 vol% or less, the wear coefficient is low, the sliding property is excellent, and the plating wear amount can be reduced. Further, it becomes possible to reduce the manufacturing cost.
- a base plating layer is applied to the entire surface of the cage, the Ni / PTFE plating layer applied to the surface of the base plating layer is cured by heat treatment, and after the heat treatment of the Ni / PTFE plating layer,
- the hardness (this hardness is referred to as “plating hardness”) may be Hv400 or more and Hv700 or less.
- the hardness represented by the “Hv” is Vickers hardness.
- the additive when the additive is in the engine oil, the additive is decomposed to form a film on the metal surface to further prevent wear, so that the Ni / PTFE plating layer inhibits the effect of the additive. Absent.
- the plating hardness after heat treatment of the Ni ⁇ PTFE plating layer is set to Hv400 or more and Hv700 or less. The plating hardness is a value determined by the PTFE content and the quenching temperature. When the plating hardness after quenching of the Ni ⁇ PTFE plating layer was Hv400 or more and Hv700 or less, the difference in wear amount was within 0.001 mm, and the difference was not recognized.
- the wear resistance can be maintained.
- the wear amount is increased. If it exceeds Hv700, the hardness is too high and the plating layer may crack.
- the cage is subjected to carburizing, quenching, and tempering, and the surface hardness is in a range of Hv450 to Hv700, and the hardness difference between the surface hardness and the hardness of the Ni / PTFE plating layer may be Hv200 or less.
- Bearings used in the large end of the connecting rod of the engine and the planetary mechanism of the transmission are rotated, so that the cage rotates while causing an elliptical motion. Therefore, if the plating does not follow the elliptical deformation of the cage, cracking or peeling occurs in the plating.
- the deformation of the cage is affected by the rigidity of the cage, and changes depending on the hardness if the same material has the same shape.
- the confirmation method is to manufacture a sample with the cage hardness and plating hardness up and down, apply a static load to the cage and give the deformation amount within the elastic deformation a predetermined number of times, and then there is no abnormality in the plating layer It was confirmed visually. As a result, when the hardness difference between the surface hardness of the cage and the plating hardness of the Ni / PTFE plating layer was Hv 200 or less, no cracking or peeling was observed in the plating.
- the total film thickness of the base plating layer and the Ni / PTFE plating layer may be 8 ⁇ m or more and 22 ⁇ m or less.
- the amount of wear of various plating layers was compared by crank motion, and the total film thickness was determined. As a result of carrying out this wear amount comparison, it was found that the Ni ⁇ PTFE plating layer of the present invention stopped in the initial wear for several tens of hours in the initial stage and did not progress thereafter. Since the wear amount was 7 ⁇ m, the lower limit of the Ni / PTFE plating layer was set to 7 ⁇ m.
- the total film thickness of the entire plating layer is set to 8 ⁇ m or more and 22 ⁇ m or less. Since the plating obtains the adhesion force by the bonding of the metals, the adhesion force is improved by the bonding of the metals having similar compositions. Since nickel has a property that it is difficult to react with additives compared to copper and silver, elution can be suppressed. When the total film thickness of the entire plating layer exceeds 22 ⁇ m, the cost increases.
- the total film thickness is less than 8 ⁇ m, for example, plating wear ⁇ exposure of cage base surface ⁇ sliding with connecting rod inner diameter ⁇ temperature rise, cage wear ⁇ excessive temperature rise in cage Connected.

- the deformation of the cage 2 is affected by the rigidity of the cage 2 and changes depending on the hardness if the shape and material are the same. Therefore, the influence of cage hardness and plating hardness was confirmed.
- the confirmation method is to make a sample with the cage hardness and plating hardness up and down, load the cage 2 with a static load, and give the amount of deformation within the elastic deformation (cage deformation 0.5 mm) 10,000 times. After that, the plating layer was visually checked for abnormalities. As a result, as shown in Table 1, when the hardness difference between the surface hardness of the cage and the plating hardness of the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 was Hv 200 or less, no cracking or peeling was observed in the plating.
- the dissolution of the surface treatment will be described. It was confirmed by an immersion test that the metal component of the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 according to the embodiment of the present invention does not dissolve under the high temperature condition of the 4-cycle engine oil. As shown in FIG. 7, in the conventional copper / silver plating, a large amount of element is detected from the oil along with the immersion time. On the other hand, the elements related to the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 and the base plating layer 4 were not detected even when 200 hours passed in the embodiment.
- the base plating layer 4 was applied to the cage 2, and the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 was further applied to the surface of the base plating layer 4. Since nickel has a property that it is difficult to dissolve in the additive (it is difficult to react), nickel or the like in the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 can be prevented from being dissolved into the engine oil. Further, by providing the base plating layer 4 between the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 and the base material (retainer), the adhesion strength between the base material and the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 is improved, and plating peeling is prevented. (Since plating is obtained by bonding between metals, adhesion is improved by bonding between metals having similar compositions).
- the self-lubricating action of PTFE in the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 reduces the friction coefficient of plating and improves the wear resistance. Accordingly, the self-lubricating performance of the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 can prevent wear.
- the nickel plating layer as the base plating layer 4 and the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 contain a common composition, that is, nickel, the composition in the vicinity of both layers gradually changes, and the nickel plating layer and the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 Can be brought into close contact with no gap. Therefore, the adhesiveness is excellent over the base material, the nickel plating layer, and the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5. As described above, the adhesion is improved because the bonding between the metals is strengthened by providing a plating having a similar composition between them. Further, by setting the surface roughness of the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 to Ra 0.7 ⁇ m or less, it is possible to reduce the unevenness of the roughness itself and to reduce the wear amount of the plating itself.
- the base plating layer 4 and the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 are applied only to the width surface 2a and the outer diameter surface 2b of the cage 2.
- adjacent cages 2 and 2 may come into contact with each other at the width surface 2a, but the underlying plating layer of the width surface 2a in the cage 2 4 and the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 can reduce wear due to relative contact of the cage 2, and can have a long life.
- the outer diameter surface 2 b of the cage 2 may come into contact with the outer member.
- the base plating layer 4 and the Ni / PTFE plating layer provided on the outer diameter surface 2 b are used. 5, the wear of the outer diameter surface 2b can be prevented.
- the base plating layer 4 and the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 may be provided only on the width surface 2a of the cage 2 or only on the outer diameter surface 2b.
- the base plating layer 4 and the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 may be applied to the entire cage. In this case, the plating layer is attached to the roller guide surface of the cage pocket 3, so that the wear of the roller 1 can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the man-hour of the entire plating operation.
- the retainer 2A of the roller with retainer 50B according to the third embodiment shown in FIG. 9 has a guide protrusion that projects substantially perpendicularly toward the inner diameter side at both axial ends of the pocket 3 on the peripheral wall to guide the end face 1a of the roller 1.
- the piece 12 is formed integrally. Since the roller end face 1a is guided by the guide projection piece 12, the guide face 12a of the roller end face 1a by the cage 2A extends to the inner diameter side or shifts to the inner diameter side. Therefore, the roller end surface 1a is supported without being detached from the guide surface 12a toward the inner diameter side until the inclination angle of the roller 1 becomes relatively large.
- the roller end surface 1a can be prevented from coming off by the guide protrusion 12 regardless of the roller length with respect to the width of the cage 2A.
- the base plating layer 4 is applied to the entire surface of the cage 2 ⁇ / b> A, and the above-described Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 is applied to the surface of the base plating layer 4. Since the base plating layer 4 is also applied to the guide surface 12a of the guide protrusion 12, and the Ni / PTFE plating layer 5 is applied to the surface of the base plating layer 4 of the guide surface 12a, the roller end surface 1a Wear reduction can be achieved.
- the retainer 2B of the roller with retainer 50C according to the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 10 is obtained by applying a nickel plating layer as a base plating layer 4 to the entire surface and combining PTFE 13 with the nickel plating surface layer. is there. According to the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effects as those of the above-described embodiments with a smaller amount of PTFE than that in which the PTFE of FIG. 3 is uniformly dispersed. Thus, the amount of PTFE can be reduced, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
- a roller with a cage 50D according to the fifth embodiment in FIG. 11 includes a plurality of rollers 1 and first and second cages 2C and 15.
- FIG. 11A is a cross-sectional view of the roller with cage cut along a plane including the axis L1.

- the entire surface of the second cage 15 is provided with a base plating layer 4 and a Ni / PTFE plating layer 5.
- the second cage 15 is disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the flange portion 6 of the first cage 2C via a radial gap.
- FIG. 12 shows a bearing using the roller with cage according to any of the above embodiments.
- This roller bearing with cage is composed of the roller with cage 50 (50A, 50B, 50C) having any one of the above-described configurations and the race ring 14 to which the plurality of rollers 1 are in rolling contact.

Abstract
Description
一般に二輪車の大小端用には、滑り軸受または転がり軸受の保持器付きころが使用されている。2サイクルエンジンの場合、大小端部は、ガソリンとエンジンオイルとを混合させた噴霧状の混合液によって潤滑される。したがって滑り軸受では、摩耗や過度の昇温が発生するため、保持器付きころ、シェルラジアル軸受等の転がり軸受が使用されている。ただし、使用される転がり軸受で保持器付きころは、保持器外径や幅面の摩耗や過度の昇温防止のために、銅メッキや銀メッキが使用されていた。
銅メッキや銀メッキで耐えられない高速回転では、母材はニッケルを主要素材としフッ素樹脂の微粒子を均一に分散共析させた複合メッキが提案されている(特許文献1)。この考案は、高速使用条件による摩耗や過度の昇温の防止を視点とした対策内容である。
しかしながら、近年ではエンジンの燃費向上のため、4サイクルエンジンの支持部(例えば、コンロッド大端部)の滑り軸受が転がり軸受(保持器付きころ)へ置き換わっている。この4サイクルエンジンへの転がり軸受の適用が、課題の発端である。
(1)ZnDTP中の硫黄やりんが金属と反応して硫化鉄やりん酸塩の皮膜を作り摩耗を防ぐ。
(2)ZnDTPが分解して金属表面にポリフォスフェートの膜を生成し摩耗を防ぐ。
という説が有力である。
以上のように、4サイクルエンジンオイルには、添加剤であるZnDTPが入っており、このZnDTP中の成分に硫黄が入っている。摩耗防止機構として、この硫黄が金属と反応し皮膜を作り摩耗防止効果があるとのことだが、保持器に施す銅メッキや銀メッキでは効果が低いことが、種々の評価及び市場回収品から判明した。
前記「PTFE」とは、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(Polytetrafluoroethylene)の略称であり、テトラフルオロエチレンの重合体で、フッ素原子と炭素原子のみから成るフッ化炭素樹脂である。このフッ化炭素樹脂形状は多角形状となっている。
Ni・PTFEメッキ層のPTFE量を20vol%以上35vol%以下と規定することで、摩耗係数が低く摺動特性に優れ、メッキ摩耗量を低くすることができる。さらに製造コストの低減を図ることが可能となる。
また、Ni・PTFEメッキ層の熱処理後のメッキ硬度をHv400以上Hv700以下としている。前記メッキ硬度は、PTFEの含有量と焼入れ温度で決定する値である。
Ni・PTFEメッキ層の焼入れ後のメッキ硬度がHv400以上Hv700以下であれば、摩耗量の差は0.001mm以内であり、差が認められない結果であった。このようにNi・PTFEメッキ層の焼入れ後のメッキ硬度をHv400以上Hv700以下に規定することにより、耐摩耗性を持続することができる。Ni・PTFEメッキ層の焼入れ後のメッキ硬度がHv400未満では、摩耗量が大きくなる。Hv700を超えると、硬度が高すぎてメッキ層がヒビ割れる可能性がある。
確認方法は、保持器硬度とメッキ硬度を上下に振ったサンプルを製作し、保持器に静的な荷重を負荷させ、弾性変形内の変形量を所定回数与えた後に、メッキ層に異常がないか目視確認した。その結果、保持器の表面硬度と、Ni・PTFEメッキ層のメッキ硬度との硬度差がHv200以下であれば、メッキに割れや剥れは認められなかった。
また、下地メッキ層の膜厚を例えば3±2μmとし、Ni・PTFEメッキ層の膜厚を例えば7μm以上17μm以下とすることで、メッキ層全体の総膜厚を8μm以上22μm以下にする。
メッキは金属同士の結合により密着力を得ているため、組成の近い金属同士の結合により密着力が向上する。ニッケルは銅・銀に比べ添加剤と反応し難い性質を持つため、溶出を抑制することが可能となる。
メッキ層全体の総膜厚が22μmを超える場合、コスト上昇につながる。総膜厚が8μmよりも薄い場合、例えば、メッキ摩滅→保持器基材表面の露出→コンロッド内径との摺動→温度上昇、保持器摩耗→保持器に過度の昇温、という流れで不具合につながる。
この発明の保持器付きころでは、Ni・PTFEメッキ層の自己潤滑性能により摩耗防止が可能となる。特に、メッキ層全体の総膜厚を8μm以上22μm以下にすることで、コスト低減を図ると共に、保持器の過度の昇温を防止できる。
図1(A)に示すように、保持器付きころ50は、複数のころ1と保持器2とを備えており、外輪として作用する外方部材31と、内輪として作用する内方部材32との間に介装されている。内方部材32は、例えば、この保持器付きころ50が支持する軸体であり、その外周面に、ころ1が転接するものとされている。ころ1は例えば針状ころが適用され、このころ1の端面1aを平坦面としている。図1(A)、(B)に示すように、保持器2は、円周方向の複数箇所に、前記各ころ1をそれぞれ保持するポケット3を有するリング状のものである。この保持器2に、後述する下地メッキ層4を介して、Ni・PTFEメッキ層5(後述する)を施している。
図1(A)、(C)に示すように、保持器2の表面全体に下地メッキ層4を施し、この下地メッキ層4の表面に、ニッケルとPTFEとを含むNi・PTFEメッキ層5を施している。前記下地メッキ層4はニッケルメッキ層である。メッキを処理する面は、保持器表面の全面であり、同保持器の幅面、内径面、ポケットも含む。
前記ニッケルメッキ層の膜厚δ1を例えば3±2μmとし、Ni・PTFEメッキ層5の膜厚δ2を例えば7μm以上17μm以下としている。ただし、ニッケルメッキ層の膜厚δ1は3±2μmに限定されるものではない。これらニッケルメッキ層およびNi・PTFEメッキ層5の総膜厚δaを8μm以上22μm以下としている。
実際の保持器付きころ(内径28mm×外径34mm×幅17mm)を用い、実機と同じクランクモーション運動で、各種メッキ層の摩耗量比較を実施し、総膜厚を決定した。図2に示すように、この結果から本発明のニッケルメッキ層およびNi・PTFEメッキ層5は、初期の数十時間で初期摩耗が止まり、それ以降は摩耗が進行しないことが判明した。また、摩耗量が7μmであったため、Ni・PTFEメッキ層5の最薄膜厚(下限値)を7μmとした。
PTFE量の決定について説明する。
Ni・PTFEメッキ層5のPTFE量の最適値を決定するために、サバン試験で摩擦係数を測定した。サバン試験とは、摩耗量の比較評価を行う試験である。例えば、図4(A)に示すように、サバン試験機SMは、試験片m1を取り付ける試験片取付け部19と、この試験片取付け部19に取り付けた試験片m1を回転させる回転部20と、試験片取付け部19に取り付けた試験片m1に一定の荷重を負荷する荷重負荷部21とを有する。荷重負荷部21は、ばね等の付勢手段によって所定の荷重を試験片m1に負荷し、その荷重量はロードセル22によって測定される。荷重負荷部21のうち試験片m1にすべり接触させる相手材23として、例えば日本工業規格SCM415等の機械構造用鋼が適用される。ただしSCM415に限定されるものではない。試験片取付け部19の内部には、フェルトパット24が設けられ、このフェルトパット24を試験片m1の周面に当接させ回転部20によりこの試験片m1を回転させることでフェルトパット給油が行われる。試験片m1を試験片取付け部19に取り付け、試験片m1に荷重を負荷しつつ回転部20を回転させ、同試験片m1を相手材23とすべり接触させることにより摩耗量を測定し得る。
この試験条件は以下の通りである。
すべり速度 : 0.05m/s 、 5.0m/s
面圧:0.5GPa
時間:30min(5.0m/s) 、 60min(0.05m/s)
潤滑油:モービルベロシティNo.3(VG2)
その結果、図4(B)に示すように、Ni・PTFEメッキ層5中、PTFE量が多い方が摩擦係数が下がることが判明した。
以上の摩擦係数と摩耗量比較の結果から、PTFE量には最適領域があることが判明した。この発明の実施形態では、摩擦係数と摩耗量比較の結果からNi・PTFEメッキ層5のPTFE量を20vol%以上35vol%以下と規定した。このようにPTFE量を規定することで、摩擦係数が低く摺動特性に優れ、メッキ摩耗量を低くすることができる。さらに製造コストの低減を図ることが可能となる。したがって、Ni・PTFEメッキ層5の自己潤滑性により保持器2の摩耗、過度の昇温を防止し、エンジン等を長期に稼動させることができる。
この発明の実施形態では、Ni・PTFEメッキ層5の表面粗さはRa0.7μm以下としている。
「Ra」は、日本工業規格で規定される中心線平均粗さRaであり、JIS 0601-1976表面粗さの規格に準拠して測定する。この中心線平均粗さは、粗さ曲線からその中心線の方向に測定長さLの部分を抜き取り、この抜き取りの中心線をX軸、縦倍率の方向をY軸とし、粗さ曲線をy=f(x)で表したとき、次の式で与えられるRaの値をマイクロメートル単位で表したものである。
この実施形態では、Ni・PTFEメッキ層5を熱処理により硬化させ、このNi・PTFEメッキ層5の熱処理後のメッキ硬度をHv400以上Hv700以下とすることにより、耐摩耗性を持続することができる。Ni・PTFEメッキ層5のメッキ硬度の最適値を決定するために、総膜厚δaを決定した際と同じ保持器付きころで同じ試験条件で摩耗比較を実施した。メッキ硬度のHv400以上Hv700以下は、PTFEの含有量と焼入れ温度とで決定する値である。したがって、試験サンプルは、PTFE量を一定にして、焼入れ温度を変更して製作した。
図6に示すように、この結果からNi・PTFEメッキ層5の焼入れ後のメッキ硬度がHv400以上Hv700以下であれば、摩耗量の差は0.001mm以内であり、差が認められない結果であった。Ni・PTFEメッキ層5の焼入れ後のメッキ硬度がHv400未満では、摩耗量が大きくなる。Hv700を超えると、硬度が高すぎてメッキ層がヒビ割れる可能性がある。
この発明の実施形態では、保持器2は、浸炭焼入れ焼戻しが施され、表面硬度がHv450以上Hv700以下の範囲であり、この表面硬度と、Ni・PTFEメッキ層5のメッキ硬度との硬度差をHv200以下としている。
エンジンのコンロッド大端部やトランスミッションの遊星機構部に使用される軸受は、振り回される運動のため、保持器2は楕円運動を起こしながら自転している。そのため、保持器2の楕円変形にメッキが追従しなければ、メッキにヒビ割れや剥れが発生する。この保持器2の変形には、保持器2の剛性が影響し形状・材料が同じであれば、硬度によって変化する。そのため、保持器硬度とメッキ硬度の影響を確認した。確認方法は、保持器硬度とメッキ硬度を上下に振ったサンプルを製作し、保持器2に静的な荷重を負荷させ、弾性変形内の変形量(保持器変形0.5mm)を10000回与えた後に、メッキ層に異状がないか目視確認した。その結果、表1に示すように、保持器の表面硬度と、Ni・PTFEメッキ層5のメッキ硬度との硬度差がHv200以下であれば、メッキに割れや剥れは認められなかった。
この発明の実施形態に係るNi・PTFEメッキ層5の金属成分等が、4サイクルエンジンオイルの高温条件下で溶解しないことを浸漬試験で確認した。図7に示すように、従来の銅・銀メッキは浸漬時間と共に油中から多くの元素量が検出されている。これに対して、実施形態のものは200時間経過しても、Ni・PTFEメッキ層5および下地メッキ層4に関係した元素は検出されなかった。
この発明の実施形態のものは、下地処理としてニッケルメッキを施した。下地メッキ有無による密着力を、実際の保持器付きころ(内径28mm×外径34mm×幅17mm)を用い、実機と同じクランクモーション運動で比較を実施した。その結果、表2に示すように、下地にニッケルメッキを施さない従来製品は、試験後にメッキの摩耗と剥れが認められた。一方、前記下地処理を施した実施形態のものは、試験後に軽微な摩耗は認められたが、剥れは認められなかった。このことから、メッキの密着力向上には下地処理が必要であることが判明した。
