Description

本発明は、例えば四輪車や二輪車及び汎用エンジン等のクランクシャフト用支持構造やコンロッド支持構造等に使用される軸受に使用される保持器に関する。   The present invention relates to a cage used in a bearing used in a crankshaft support structure, a connecting rod support structure, and the like of, for example, a four-wheel vehicle, a two-wheeled vehicle, and a general-purpose engine.

軸受の保持器には、軸受の耐蝕性、潤滑性、耐摩耗性、などを向上させるために、金属めっきによる表面処理が行われており、特に、ころ軸受の保持器では、ころ軸受の保持器とコンロッド内壁との耐焼付き性の向上を目的として、摩擦係数が低く潤滑性に優れた銀めっきによる表面処理を行うことが知られている。(例えば、特許文献1参照)   In order to improve the corrosion resistance, lubricity, wear resistance, etc. of the bearing, the bearing cage is subjected to surface treatment by metal plating. In particular, the roller bearing retainer retains the roller bearing. In order to improve the seizure resistance between the vessel and the inner wall of the connecting rod, it is known to perform surface treatment by silver plating having a low friction coefficient and excellent lubricity. (For example, see Patent Document 1)

しかし、高温で長時間使用するという条件下では、銀めっき層は潤滑油中に含まれる硫化モリブデン等の硫黄含有成分の影響で硫化され劣化し、銀めっき皮膜が剥がれてしまうという問題がある。   However, under the condition that it is used for a long time at a high temperature, there is a problem that the silver plating layer is sulfided and deteriorates due to the influence of sulfur-containing components such as molybdenum sulfide contained in the lubricating oil, and the silver plating film is peeled off.

[特許文献1]特開2002−195266号公報 [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-195266

本発明は、硫化による劣化の少ない、軸受に使用される保持器を提供しようとする。   The present invention seeks to provide a cage for use in bearings that is less susceptible to sulfidation.

本発明の要旨とするところは、四輪車用や二輪車用及び汎用エンジンのクランクシャフト支持構造やコンロッド支持構造に使用される、高温の潤滑油で濡れた状態にあり、針状ころにより保持器表面が相手面と直接摺動しない針状ころ軸受の保持器であって、保持器の基体の最表面に下地めっき層を介してCoの成分比率が5〜95重量%のSn−Co合金めっき層が形成された針状ころ軸受用保持器であることにある。 The gist of the present invention is that it is in a wet state with high-temperature lubricating oil used for a crankshaft support structure and a connecting rod support structure for a four-wheeled vehicle, a two-wheeled vehicle, and a general-purpose engine. A needle roller bearing retainer whose surface does not slide directly with the mating surface, and an Sn—Co alloy plating having a Co component ratio of 5 to 95% by weight on the outermost surface of the retainer base via a base plating layer The present invention resides in a cage for a needle roller bearing in which a layer is formed.

本発明によると、硫化による劣化の少ない、軸受に使用される保持器が提供される。   According to the present invention, a cage used for a bearing that is less deteriorated by sulfuration is provided.

本発明の軸受用保持器の代表的な例は図1に例示されるような態様のころ軸受2に用いられる保持器4である。ころ軸受2は複数の針状ころ6と、針状ころ6を所定間隔で保持する保持器4とアウターレース8とで構成される。ころ軸受としてはアウターレースが設けられずに外側がハウジングであるコンロッド等の係合穴に嵌めこまれる図2に示す保持器4aを有するような態様もある。保持器の形状は図1、図2に示すような円筒かご形状のほかに軸受の種類に応じて円錐台形かご形状や図3に示すようなボールベアリング用の保持器4bなど様々であり、軸受の種類に応じて選択された形状の保持器が用いられる。   A typical example of the bearing cage of the present invention is a cage 4 used in a roller bearing 2 having a mode as illustrated in FIG. The roller bearing 2 includes a plurality of needle rollers 6, a cage 4 that holds the needle rollers 6 at a predetermined interval, and an outer race 8. As a roller bearing, there is also an aspect in which the outer race is not provided and the cage 4a shown in FIG. 2 is fitted into an engagement hole such as a connecting rod that is a housing on the outside. The shape of the cage is not limited to the cylindrical cage shape as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, but various shapes such as a truncated cone cage shape and a ball bearing cage 4b as shown in FIG. A cage having a shape selected in accordance with the type of is used.

本願の発明者らは、軸受に銀めっきされた保持器を用いると、前述のように潤滑油に含まれる硫化モリブデン等の硫黄含有成分の影響で銀めっき層が硫化され劣化するという問題を解決しようとして鋭意検討し、めっき層の組成として考えられる膨大な種類の金属及び合金なかで、低摩擦性と耐硫化性を同時に満足して、銀めっきされた保持器より寿命の長い保持器を得ることのできるめっき層組成を見出し本願発明に至った。   The inventors of the present application solved the problem that when a silver-plated cage is used for the bearing, the silver-plated layer is sulfided and deteriorates due to the influence of sulfur-containing components such as molybdenum sulfide contained in the lubricating oil as described above. We have intensively studied to obtain a cage with a longer life than silver-plated cages, satisfying both low friction and sulfidation resistance at the same time among a huge variety of metals and alloys that can be considered as the composition of the plating layer. The present inventors have found a plating layer composition that can be used to achieve the present invention.

本発明の軸受用保持器は、図4に示すように、保持器形状の基体10の最表面に下地めっき層12を介してCoの成分比率が5〜95重量%のSn−Co合金めっき層14が形成されてなる。基体10の材料としては軸受鋼、浸炭鋼、機械構造用炭素鋼などが用いられる。   As shown in FIG. 4, the bearing cage of the present invention has an Sn—Co alloy plating layer having a Co component ratio of 5 to 95 wt% on the outermost surface of the cage-shaped substrate 10 through the base plating layer 12. 14 is formed. Bearing steel, carburized steel, carbon steel for machine structure, etc. are used as the material of the base 10.

Sn−Co合金めっき層14は、銅や銅合金などにより下地めっきされた基体10を錫塩とコバルト塩を含むめっき浴を用いて電解めっきして得られる。
めっき浴としてはピロリン酸塩浴、スタネート浴、有機酸塩浴などが好適に用いられる。代表的なめっき浴を以下に例示する。
The Sn—Co alloy plating layer 14 is obtained by electrolytic plating the base 10 plated with copper or copper alloy using a plating bath containing a tin salt and a cobalt salt.
As the plating bath, a pyrophosphate bath, a stannate bath, an organic acid salt bath, or the like is preferably used. A typical plating bath is illustrated below.

本発明においては、Sn−Co合金におけるCoの成分比率は5〜95重量%であることが好ましい。Coの成分比率が95重量%を超えて大きいと、めっき皮膜表面にクラックが入る恐れがあり、Coの成分比率が5重量%未満であると摩擦係数が大きくなるからである。Coの成分比率が10〜70重量%であることがこの点でさらに好ましい。   In the present invention, the Co component ratio in the Sn—Co alloy is preferably 5 to 95% by weight. This is because if the Co component ratio exceeds 95% by weight, cracks may occur on the surface of the plating film, and if the Co component ratio is less than 5% by weight, the friction coefficient increases. In this respect, the Co component ratio is more preferably 10 to 70% by weight.

表1、表2より、試料1(Sn−Co合金めっきを施した基体)は、試料2(銀めっきを施した基体)より皮膜硬度が大きく、かつ耐摩耗性に優れていた。また、試料1は試料2よりも摩擦係数が低く、潤滑性に優れることがわかった。さらに、試料1は高温のオイルに浸漬後に変色やスクラッチが認められなかったのに対して、試料2は高温のオイルに浸漬後に硫化による変色やスクラッチが認められた。   From Tables 1 and 2, Sample 1 (substrate with Sn—Co alloy plating) had a higher film hardness and superior wear resistance than Sample 2 (substrate with silver plating). It was also found that Sample 1 had a lower coefficient of friction than Sample 2 and was excellent in lubricity. Furthermore, Sample 1 showed no discoloration or scratches after immersion in high temperature oil, whereas Sample 2 showed discoloration or scratches due to sulfurization after immersion in high temperature oil.

高い軸受け荷重を受けて高温で使用される軸受については、前述のように潤滑油として硫化モリブデン等の硫黄含有成分を含有させたものが使用されるが、本発明の軸受用保持器は表2に示すように高温下での耐硫化性に優れているので、従来保持器の銀めっき層が潤滑油の硫黄成分に起因する硫化により劣化するという問題を解消できる。さらに、本発明の軸受用保持器は、皮膜硬度、耐摩耗性、摩擦係数、のいずれについても従来の銀めっき製品より優れた特性を有していることがわかった。   As described above, a bearing that contains a sulfur-containing component such as molybdenum sulfide as a lubricating oil is used for a bearing that is used at a high temperature under a high bearing load. Table 2 shows a bearing cage according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, since the sulfidation resistance at high temperature is excellent, the problem that the silver plating layer of the conventional cage is deteriorated due to sulfidation caused by the sulfur component of the lubricating oil can be solved. Furthermore, it was found that the bearing cage of the present invention has characteristics superior to those of conventional silver-plated products in all of film hardness, wear resistance, and friction coefficient.

従って、本発明の軸受用保持器は図5で例示されるコンロッド30のような、エンジンのコンロッドに用いる軸受用の保持器として好適に用いることができる。コンロッド30は、コンロッド本体部32と、ピストンに接続される小端部34と、クランクシャフトに接続される大端部36とを含んで構成される。大端部36は、コンロッド本体部32の一端に連続するハウジング部40と、ハウジング部40に結合されるキャップ部42とに分割されている。ハウジング部40とキャップ部42とはボルト44によって締結される。ころ軸受が主にコンロッドの大端部に用いられ、本発明の軸受用保持器はこのころ軸受用に好適に使用される。   Therefore, the bearing cage of the present invention can be suitably used as a bearing cage used for an engine connecting rod, such as the connecting rod 30 illustrated in FIG. The connecting rod 30 includes a connecting rod main body portion 32, a small end portion 34 connected to the piston, and a large end portion 36 connected to the crankshaft. The large end portion 36 is divided into a housing portion 40 that is continuous with one end of the connecting rod main body portion 32 and a cap portion 42 that is coupled to the housing portion 40. The housing part 40 and the cap part 42 are fastened by bolts 44. A roller bearing is mainly used at the large end of the connecting rod, and the bearing cage of the present invention is suitably used for this roller bearing.

本発明の軸受用保持器は、コンロッドに限らず、潤滑油の硫黄成分に起因するめっき層の劣化に関する耐硫化性を要求される軸受用に広く用いることができる。   The bearing cage of the present invention is not limited to the connecting rod, but can be widely used for bearings that require sulfidation resistance related to the deterioration of the plating layer caused by the sulfur component of the lubricating oil.
