Description

本発明は、潤滑剤組成物に関する。詳しくは低せん断速度における粘度が低く起動性に優れ、高せん断速度における粘度が高く油膜形成能力に優れ、かつ摺動部表面への密着性が高い潤滑剤組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a lubricant composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a lubricant composition having a low viscosity at a low shear rate and excellent startability, a high viscosity at a high shear rate, an excellent oil film forming ability, and a high adhesion to the surface of a sliding part.

従来から、摺動部分には潤滑性を高めるために潤滑油やグリースが使用されている。グリースは、液状の潤滑油に、金属石けんやウレア化合物などの繊維状の増ちょう剤を分散させ、半固体状にした油剤である。半固体状であるため、油漏れしにくく、潤滑システムを簡易化、小型化できるメリットがあり、自動車をはじめ、様々な産業機械の機械要素、特には軸受や歯車などに広く用いられている(非特許文献1)。具体的な主な適用先としては、自動車、鉄道などの輸送機械、コンピュータなどの情報機器、圧延機などの鉄鋼設備、工作機械、搬送システムや建設機械などの産業機械などが挙げられる。
しかし、近年の各種機械システムの高性能化・小型化・軽量化に伴い、機械要素にかかる負荷は増大傾向にあり、従来のグリースでは起動性、耐焼付き性、耐摩耗性、低摩擦性等の点で必ずしも十分ではなく、機械要素の高性能化、小型化及び長寿命化を達成するためには改善の余地がある。より具体的には、低せん断時の粘性抵抗が高いため、起動ロスが大きく、また高せん断時の粘度低下により、油膜切れが生じやすく、摺動部の摩擦摩耗が課題であった。
Conventionally, lubricating oil and grease have been used for the sliding portion in order to improve lubricity. Grease is an oil agent in which a fibrous thickener such as a metal soap or a urea compound is dispersed in a liquid lubricating oil to form a semi-solid. Because it is semi-solid, it has the advantage of preventing oil leakage and simplifying and miniaturizing the lubrication system, and it is widely used in machine elements of various industrial machines including automobiles, especially bearings and gears ( Non-patent document 1). Specific application destinations include transportation equipment such as automobiles and railways, information equipment such as computers, steel equipment such as rolling mills, machine tools, industrial machines such as transport systems and construction machines, and the like.
However, along with recent improvements in performance, size, and weight of various mechanical systems, the load on machine elements is increasing. With conventional grease, start-up, seizure resistance, wear resistance, low friction, etc. However, there is room for improvement in order to achieve high performance, miniaturization, and long life of the machine elements. More specifically, since the viscous resistance at the time of low shear is high, the start-up loss is large, and the oil film is easily cut off due to the decrease in viscosity at the time of high shear, and the frictional wear of the sliding part has been a problem.

「潤滑グリースの基礎と応用」,社団法人日本トライボロジー学会グリース研究会編,養賢堂,p.4−6“Basics and Applications of Lubricating Grease”, edited by Japan Tribology Society Grease Study Group, Yokendo, p. 4-6

本発明は、機械システムの高性能化・小型化・軽量化における従来のグリース潤滑では解決できなかった、起動性、油膜形成能を両立するとともに、摺動部に塗布した潤滑油剤が高速回転時でも飛散しにくい特性を有するものであり、具体的には低せん断速度における粘度が低く起動性に優れ、高せん断速度における粘度が高く油膜形成能力に優れ、かつ摺動部表面への密着性が高い潤滑剤組成物を提供することを課題とするものである。   The present invention achieves both startability and oil film forming ability, which could not be solved by conventional grease lubrication in high performance, miniaturization, and weight reduction of a mechanical system, and the lubricant applied to the sliding portion is at high speed rotation. However, it has the characteristic that it is difficult to scatter, specifically, low viscosity at low shear rate and excellent startability, high viscosity at high shear rate and excellent oil film forming ability, and adhesion to the sliding surface. It is an object of the present invention to provide a high lubricant composition.

本発明者らは前記課題について鋭意研究した結果、潤滑油基油にカルボン酸金属塩および特定の炭化水素ポリマーを配合することにより、上記課題を解決できることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。   As a result of intensive studies on the above problems, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by blending a carboxylic acid metal salt and a specific hydrocarbon polymer with a lubricating base oil, and have completed the present invention. .

すなわち、本発明は、潤滑油基油、粘度平均分子量1万〜10万の炭化水素ポリマーおよびカルボン酸金属塩を含有し、低せん断速度(50s−1)の粘度Aが10Pa・s以下であり、高せん断速度(4000s−1)の粘度Bが0.5Pa・s以上であり、かつ、粘度Aと粘度Bの比(粘度A/粘度B)が15以下であることを特徴とする潤滑剤組成物である。 That is, the present invention contains a lubricating base oil, a hydrocarbon polymer having a viscosity average molecular weight of 10,000 to 100,000, and a carboxylic acid metal salt, and a viscosity A at a low shear rate (50 s −1 ) is 10 Pa · s or less. A lubricant having a viscosity B of 0.5 Pa · s or more at a high shear rate (4000 s −1 ) and a ratio of viscosity A to viscosity B (viscosity A / viscosity B) of 15 or less. It is a composition.

また本発明は、潤滑油基油の40℃における動粘度が10〜1000mm/sであり、炭化水素ポリマーが粘度平均分子量1万〜5万のポリイソブチレンであり、かつ、カルボン酸金属塩がカルボン酸リチウム塩、カルボン酸カルシウム塩およびカルボン酸アルミニウム塩から選ばれる少なくとも1種であることを特徴とする前記の潤滑剤組成物である。 In the present invention, the lubricating base oil has a kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C. of 10 to 1000 mm 2 / s, the hydrocarbon polymer is polyisobutylene having a viscosity average molecular weight of 10,000 to 50,000, and the carboxylic acid metal salt is The lubricant composition is at least one selected from lithium carboxylate, calcium carboxylate and aluminum carboxylate.

また本発明は、潤滑油基油の含有量が60〜97質量%、炭化水素ポリマーの含有量が1〜20質量、およびカルボン酸金属塩の含有量が2〜20質量%であることを特徴とする前記の潤滑剤組成物である。   Further, the present invention is characterized in that the content of the lubricating base oil is 60 to 97% by mass, the content of the hydrocarbon polymer is 1 to 20% by mass, and the content of the carboxylic acid metal salt is 2 to 20% by mass. The above-mentioned lubricant composition.

また本発明は、軸受、歯車、運動ねじ、ウォームラック、カム、クラッチ、ベルト、チェーンおよびワイヤロープから選ばれる少なくとも1つの機械要素の潤滑に用いられることを特徴とする前記の潤滑剤組成物である。   Further, the present invention is the above-mentioned lubricant composition, characterized in that it is used for lubricating at least one mechanical element selected from bearings, gears, moving screws, worm racks, cams, clutches, belts, chains and wire ropes. is there.

さらに本発明は、軸受、歯車、運動ねじ、ウォームラック、カム、クラッチ、ベルト、チェーンおよびワイヤロープから選ばれる少なくとも1つの機械要素の表面に前記の潤滑剤組成物が5mm以下の厚さで塗布された機械要素を有することを特徴とする機械システムである。   Further, according to the present invention, the lubricant composition is applied to the surface of at least one machine element selected from a bearing, gear, moving screw, worm rack, cam, clutch, belt, chain and wire rope in a thickness of 5 mm or less. It is a mechanical system characterized by having a mechanical element.

本発明の潤滑剤組成物は、低せん断速度における粘度が低く機器の起動時に必要なエネルギーを低減し、高せん断速度における粘度が高く機器の回転運動中においても十分な油膜形成能力を有し、長期間にわたり潤滑剤としての効果を奏する。また塗布表面へ強く吸着し飛散しにくいため周辺部位の汚染および油剤消耗を抑制することができる。そして塗布量が少量で済むため機器の小型化・軽量化に寄与する。   The lubricant composition of the present invention has a low viscosity at a low shear rate, reduces energy required at the start-up of the device, has a high viscosity at a high shear rate and has a sufficient oil film forming ability even during the rotational movement of the device, Has an effect as a lubricant for a long period of time. Further, since it is strongly adsorbed on the coating surface and hardly scattered, it is possible to suppress the contamination of the peripheral portion and the oil consumption. And since the application amount is small, it contributes to downsizing and weight reduction of the equipment.

表1および表2に各種潤滑剤組成物の組成および性能を記載した。基油の配合量(質量%)、各添加剤の添加量(質量%)は潤滑剤組成物全量基準である。組成物は、表1または表2に記載された配合量の潤滑油基油に各添加剤を添加し、撹拌しながら200℃で30分加温し、これを徐冷することで得た。得られた各組成物の各種性能を下記の方法により評価した。
(Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-7)
Tables 1 and 2 list the composition and performance of various lubricant compositions. The blending amount (% by mass) of the base oil and the adding amount (% by mass) of each additive are based on the total amount of the lubricant composition. The composition was obtained by adding each additive to the lubricating base oil of the blending amount shown in Table 1 or Table 2, heating the mixture at 200 ° C. for 30 minutes with stirring, and gradually cooling it. Various performances of the obtained compositions were evaluated by the following methods.

(調製後の状態)
各組成物を調製後、組成物の状態を目視で確認した。分離が確認された組成物に関しては以降の評価は行わなかった。
(State after preparation)
After preparing each composition, the state of the composition was confirmed visually. Subsequent evaluation was not performed about the composition by which separation was confirmed.

(粘度)
コーンプレート型回転粘度計(Thermo Scientific社製、HAAKE Viscotester550型、回転子PK2−1°)を用いて、測定部位に調製した各組成物をおいて静置し、温度が30℃に均一になった状態で、せん断速度50s−1における粘度(粘度A)および4000s−1における粘度(粘度B)をそれぞれ測定した。
(viscosity)
Using a cone plate type rotational viscometer (manufactured by Thermo Scientific, HAAKE Viscotester550 type, rotor PK2-1 °), each composition prepared at the measurement site is allowed to stand and the temperature becomes uniform at 30 ° C. In this state, the viscosity at a shear rate of 50 s −1 (viscosity A) and the viscosity at 4000 s −1 (viscosity B) were measured.

(粘着力)
直径24mm、厚さ7mmで表面をラッピング加工した平板(材質SUJ−2)2枚のそれぞれ片面に各組成物を0.1g塗布し、塗布した面同士を重ね合わせた。これに荷重500Nの負荷を5秒間掛け放置したのち、2枚の平板を引き剥がすのに要する力(粘着力)をトルク計にて測定した。粘着力が20N以上となった組成物を合格と評価した。
(Adhesive force)
0.1 g of each composition was applied to one side of each of two flat plates (material SUJ-2) having a diameter of 24 mm and a thickness of 7 mm, and the surfaces were overlapped. After applying a load of 500 N to this for 5 seconds, the force (adhesive force) required to peel off the two flat plates was measured with a torque meter. A composition having an adhesive strength of 20 N or more was evaluated as acceptable.

(潤滑性)
LFW−1(ブロックオンリング、材質SUJ−2)を用いて、各組成物を用いた場合の摩擦係数(組成物の潤滑性)を解析した。試験条件は以下の通りである。
温度:開始30℃、以降成り行き
油量:1g(初期油膜厚さとしては1mmに相当)
荷重:100N
上記条件の下、摺動速度が0.01m/s(低速)の場合および1m/s(高速)の場合の2条件で測定した。測定された摩擦係数が0.15以下である組成物は潤滑性に非常に優れると判断した。
なお、摩擦係数が0.3以上となった場合は異常摩擦となり焼付が発生するため試験を中止した。
(Lubricity)
Using LFW-1 (block on ring, material SUJ-2), the coefficient of friction (the lubricity of the composition) was analyzed when each composition was used. The test conditions are as follows.
Temperature: Start 30 ° C., and subsequent behavior Oil amount: 1 g (Initial oil film thickness corresponds to 1 mm)
Load: 100N
Under the above conditions, the measurement was performed under two conditions: a sliding speed of 0.01 m / s (low speed) and 1 m / s (high speed). A composition having a measured coefficient of friction of 0.15 or less was judged to be very excellent in lubricity.
When the friction coefficient was 0.3 or more, the test was stopped because of abnormal friction and seizure.
