Description

本発明は、金属石けん系増ちょう剤を用いるグリース組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a grease composition using a metal soap thickener.

グリースは、主にすべり軸受けやころがり軸受け(ベアリング)、あるいは接触面が動くために潤滑剤の膜を付着した状態に保つのが難しい摺動面に用いられ、この中でも、金属石けん系増ちょう剤を用いた、いわゆる金属せっけんグリースは、耐水性、耐熱性および機械的安定性に優れ、特に、リチウム石けん系グリースは万能型グリースとして最もよく使用され、鋼と樹脂との摺動部を有する各種軸受、歯車、ボールジョイント、ピニオンなどにも用いられている。   Grease is mainly used for sliding bearings, rolling bearings (bearings), or sliding surfaces where it is difficult to keep the lubricant film attached due to the movement of the contact surface. Among these, metal soap thickeners The so-called metal soap grease using water is excellent in water resistance, heat resistance and mechanical stability, and in particular, lithium soap grease is most commonly used as a universal grease and has various sliding parts between steel and resin. It is also used for bearings, gears, ball joints, pinions and the like.

かかる鋼‐樹脂摺動部で使用される樹脂用グリースとして、シリコーン油及びリチウム石けん増ちょう剤と、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン樹脂粉末を3〜25質量%、飽和脂肪酸アマイドを1〜15質量%含有する組成物が提案されている(特許文献1)。
しかし、このグリース組成物は、シリコーン油という密度の大きい基油を用いるため、固体潤滑剤の分散性が悪く、また摩擦係数を十分に下げることができず、スティックスリップも発生し易いという問題があった。
As a grease for resin used in such a steel-resin sliding portion, 3 to 25% by mass of silicone oil and lithium soap thickener, polytetrafluoroethylene resin powder and 1 to 15% by mass of saturated fatty acid amide are contained. A composition has been proposed (Patent Document 1).
However, since this grease composition uses a base oil with a high density called silicone oil, there is a problem that the dispersibility of the solid lubricant is poor, the friction coefficient cannot be lowered sufficiently, and stick slip is likely to occur. there were.

本発明が解決しようとする課題は、固体潤滑剤の分散性を向上させ、鋼と樹脂の摺動部における摩擦係数が十分に低く、スティックスリップの発生がないグリース組成物を提供するものである。   The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a grease composition that improves the dispersibility of a solid lubricant, has a sufficiently low coefficient of friction at the sliding portion of steel and resin, and does not cause stick slip. .

本発明者は、かかる課題を解決するために、鋭意、研究を進めた結果、所定の密度を有する潤滑油基油を用いることにより、固体潤滑剤の分散性を高め、鋼と樹脂の摺動部における摩擦係数が十分に低く、スティックスリップの発生がないグリース組成物が得られることを見出した。
本発明は、かかる知見に基づきなされたもので、次のものからなる。
As a result of diligent research, the present inventor has improved the dispersibility of the solid lubricant by using a lubricating base oil having a predetermined density, and the sliding of steel and resin. It was found that a grease composition having a sufficiently low coefficient of friction at the part and no stick-slip was obtained.
This invention is made | formed based on this knowledge, and consists of the following.

(1)15℃における密度が0.75〜0.95g /cm3である潤滑油基油、アミド化合物、固体潤滑剤、及び金属石けん系増ちょう剤を含有するグリース組成物。
(2)固体潤滑剤が、層状化合物またはふっ素樹脂からなる上記(1)に記載されたグリース組成物。
(3)アミド化合物が、モノアミドまたはビスアミドである上記(1)又は(2)に記載されたグリース組成物。
(1) A grease composition containing a lubricating base oil having a density at 15 ° C. of 0.75 to 0.95 g / cm 3 , an amide compound, a solid lubricant, and a metal soap thickener.
(2) The grease composition as described in (1) above, wherein the solid lubricant is a layered compound or a fluororesin.
(3) The grease composition as described in said (1) or (2) whose amide compound is monoamide or bisamide.

本発明のグリース組成物は、固体潤滑剤が十分に分散し、鋼と樹脂の摺動部における摩擦係数が低く、スティックスリップの発生がないという格別の効果を奏する。   The grease composition of the present invention has a special effect that the solid lubricant is sufficiently dispersed, the friction coefficient at the sliding portion of steel and resin is low, and stick slip does not occur.

本発明のグリース組成物は、15℃における密度が0.75〜0.95g /cm3である潤滑油基油、アミド化合物、固体潤滑剤、及び金属石けん系増ちょう剤を含むものである。
〔潤滑油基油〕
本発明の潤滑油基油としては、鉱油系または合成系のいずれも用いることができるが、潤滑油基油の15℃における密度が、0.75〜0.95g/cm3の範囲のものである。この範囲から外れる潤滑油基油では、固体潤滑剤の分散性が低下し、摩擦係数を十分に低くすることはできない。この密度は、特には0.8〜0.9g/cm3のものが好ましい。
また、40℃における動粘度が1〜500mm2/sのものが好ましく、5〜100mm2/sがより好ましい。40℃における動粘度が1〜500mm2/sから外れると、所望のちょう度を有するグリース組成物を簡便に調製でき難くなる。さらに、優れた潤滑性を有するグリースを調製するためには、粘度指数が90以上、特には95〜250、流動点が−10℃以下、特には−15〜−70℃、引火点が150℃以上の物性を有する潤滑油基油が好ましい。
The grease composition of the present invention comprises a lubricating base oil having a density at 15 ° C. of 0.75 to 0.95 g / cm 3 , an amide compound, a solid lubricant, and a metal soap thickener.
[Lubricant base oil]
As the lubricating base oil of the present invention, either mineral oil or synthetic oil can be used, but the lubricating base oil has a density at 15 ° C. in the range of 0.75 to 0.95 g / cm 3. is there. When the lubricant base oil is out of this range, the dispersibility of the solid lubricant is lowered, and the friction coefficient cannot be sufficiently lowered. This density is particularly preferably from 0.8 to 0.9 g / cm 3 .
Further, those having a kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C. of 1 to 500 mm 2 / s are preferred, and 5 to 100 mm 2 / s are more preferred. When the kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C. deviates from 1 to 500 mm 2 / s, it becomes difficult to easily prepare a grease composition having a desired consistency. Further, in order to prepare a grease having excellent lubricity, the viscosity index is 90 or more, particularly 95 to 250, the pour point is -10 ° C or less, particularly -15 to -70 ° C, and the flash point is 150 ° C. A lubricating base oil having the above physical properties is preferred.

鉱油系潤滑油基油としては、原油を常圧蒸留し、あるいはさらに減圧蒸留して得られる留出油を各種の精製プロセスで精製した潤滑油留分が挙げられる。精製プロセスは、水素化精製、溶剤抽出、溶剤脱ろう、水素化脱ろう、硫酸洗浄、白土処理などであり、これらを適宜の順序で組み合わせて処理して本発明の基油を得ることができる。異なる原油あるいは留出油を、異なるプロセスの組合せ、順序により得られた、性状の異なる複数の精製油の混合物も有用である。いずれの方法によっても、得られる基油の性状が、前述した密度を満足するように調整することによって好ましく使用することができる。   Examples of the mineral-based lubricating base oil include lubricating oil fractions obtained by purifying distillate obtained by subjecting crude oil to atmospheric distillation or further distillation under reduced pressure by various purification processes. The refining process includes hydrorefining, solvent extraction, solvent dewaxing, hydrodewaxing, sulfuric acid washing, clay treatment, etc., and these can be combined in an appropriate order to obtain the base oil of the present invention. . A mixture of refined oils having different properties, obtained by different crude oils or distillate oils by different process combinations and sequences is also useful. Any method can be preferably used by adjusting the properties of the obtained base oil so as to satisfy the above-described density.

合成系潤滑油基油としては、加水分解安定性に優れる基材を用いることが好ましく、例えばポリ‐α‐オレフィン、ポリブテンや2種以上の各種オレフィンの共重合体などのポリオレフィン、ポリエステル、ポリアルキレングリコール、アルキルベンゼン、アルキルナフタレンなどが挙げられる。なかでも、ポリ‐α‐オレフィンが、入手性、コスト面、粘度特性、酸化安定性、システム部材との適合性の面で好ましい。ポリ‐α‐オレフィンは、1‐ドデセンや1‐デセンなどの重合物がコスト面でさらに好ましい。   As the synthetic lubricant base oil, it is preferable to use a substrate having excellent hydrolysis stability. For example, polyolefins such as poly-α-olefin, polybutene and copolymers of two or more kinds of olefins, polyesters, polyalkylenes Examples thereof include glycol, alkylbenzene, and alkylnaphthalene. Of these, poly-α-olefins are preferable in terms of availability, cost, viscosity characteristics, oxidation stability, and compatibility with system components. The poly-α-olefin is more preferably a polymer such as 1-dodecene or 1-decene in terms of cost.

潤滑油基油は、例示した合成系を単独で、あるいは2種以上混合して用いることができる。さらに、前記鉱油系と混合しても使用することもできる。
合成系潤滑油基油を含めて、複数の潤滑油基油の混合物を使用する場合、該基油混合物が上記物性を満足するものであれば、混合前の個々の基油がかかる物性の範囲を外れていても使用することができる。したがって、個々の合成油系基油は、上記物性を必ずしも満足する必要はないが、上記物性の範囲内であることが好ましい。
この潤滑油基油の含有量は、グリース組成物全量基準で、50〜95質量%が好ましく、60〜85質量%とすることが特に好ましい。潤滑油基油の含有量が50〜95質量%の範囲を外れると所望のちょう度を有するグリース組成物を簡便に調製でき難くなる。
As the lubricating base oil, the exemplified synthetic systems can be used alone or in admixture of two or more. Furthermore, it can also be used by mixing with the mineral oil system.
When using a mixture of a plurality of lubricating base oils including a synthetic base oil, if the base oil mixture satisfies the above physical properties, the individual base oils before mixing are within the range of physical properties. It can be used even if it is off. Accordingly, the individual synthetic base oils do not necessarily satisfy the above physical properties, but are preferably within the above physical properties.
The content of the lubricating base oil is preferably 50 to 95% by mass, particularly preferably 60 to 85% by mass, based on the total amount of the grease composition.

(above the melting point of the amide), stirred with a magnetic stirrer, and then cooled to room temperature. This was subjected to pressure dispersion treatment with a roller (three rolls) to prepare a grease composition.

〔評価方法〕
ボールとディスクの往復動摩擦試験機で評価試験を行った。金属摺動部材として、SUJ‐2の直径1/4インチ球及び樹脂製摺動部材として6ナイロンのプレート状のもの〔東洋プラスチック精工社製N6(NC)〕を用いた。
試験荷重は2000gf、摺動速度は10mm/s、振幅20mmとし、ディスクにグリースを塗布し、摺動させたときの摩擦係数と摩擦力の波形からスティックスリップの発生の有無を評価した(一方向に摺動中の摩擦力が一定でない場合にスティックスリップが発生しているとした)。
〔Evaluation method〕
An evaluation test was conducted with a ball-disk reciprocating friction tester. As the metal sliding member, a 1/4 inch sphere of SUJ-2 diameter and a 6 nylon plate-like member (N6 (NC) manufactured by Toyo Plastic Seiko Co., Ltd.) as a resin sliding member were used.
The test load was 2000 gf, the sliding speed was 10 mm / s, and the amplitude was 20 mm. Grease was applied to the disk, and the presence or absence of stick-slip was evaluated from the friction coefficient and the frictional force waveform when slid. In addition, stick slip occurs when the frictional force during sliding is not constant).

〔評価結果〕
鉱油とリチウム石けん系増ちょう剤のみを配合した場合、摩擦係数が高く、スティックスリップの発生も確認された(比較例7)。
鉱油とリチウム石けん系増ちょう剤と固体潤滑剤のみを配合した場合、摩擦係数が僅かに低減、スティックスリップも若干低減されたが十分ではなかった(比較例1−6)。
鉱油とリチウム石けんと固体潤滑剤と脂肪族アミドを配合した場合、摩擦係数がさらに低減し、スティックスリップの発生も抑制された(実施例1−12)。
基油にシリコーン油やフッ化油を用いた場合、アミド化合物の融点以上に加熱しても、融解したアミド化合物と基油が2相に分離し、均一に溶解しなかった(比較例8、9)。そのためシリコーン油には酸化ケイ素を、フッ化油にはポリテトラフルオロエチレンを添加したが、不均一な仕上がりとなったため、摩擦試験は実施できなかった(比較例10、11)。
〔Evaluation results〕
When only mineral oil and a lithium soap thickener were blended, the friction coefficient was high and the occurrence of stick-slip was also confirmed (Comparative Example 7).
When only mineral oil, a lithium soap thickener and a solid lubricant were blended, the friction coefficient was slightly reduced and stick slip was slightly reduced, but it was not sufficient (Comparative Example 1-6).
When mineral oil, lithium soap, solid lubricant, and aliphatic amide were blended, the friction coefficient was further reduced, and the occurrence of stick slip was also suppressed (Example 1-12).
When silicone oil or fluorinated oil was used as the base oil, the melted amide compound and the base oil separated into two phases even when heated to a temperature higher than the melting point of the amide compound, and did not dissolve uniformly (Comparative Example 8, 9). For this reason, silicon oxide was added to the silicone oil and polytetrafluoroethylene was added to the fluorinated oil, but the friction test could not be carried out because of non-uniform finish (Comparative Examples 10 and 11).
