Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the oil content of plastics for preventing seizure due to the breakage of an oil film by forming a retainer of an oleo-plastics com posed of an oleo-binder and base material, and immersing it in an oil for oil impregnating treatment. CONSTITUTION:A retainer 1 is provided with opening parts 2 on its side, and has 8 crown-shaped cross section. Balls 8 retained with the retainer 1 at fixed intervals are made of stainless steel. The retainer 1 and the balls 3 are set between outer and inner rings made of the stainless steel to form a ball bearing. Nylon being one of polyamide is used for the retainer 1 as base material, and nylon plastics (6.6-nylon) made by adding a mineral oleo-binder to the above- mentioned base material is injectingly molded into the shape of the retainer, which is then immersed in the same kind of the mineral oil heated to about 120 deg.C for about seven days to form the retainer 1. Thus the oil content of the retainer 1 can be improved to lengthen the life of the bearing.

<Prior Art> Bearings in spinning machines and the like are used under conditions such as high speed, high temperature, low torque, and light load. Among the above conditions, the biggest bottleneck in satisfying high temperature properties is grease. There is also high-temperature grease, but its high viscosity makes it unable to meet the low torque requirements. On the other hand, grease that satisfies low torque has a problem in heat resistance.

In order to solve these problems related to grease, there are some bearings that use a cage made of oil-impregnated plastic for the bearing, thereby reducing the importance of grease.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> Generally, the oil content of oil-impregnated plastic materials for injection molding is only about 10%. Although it is possible to impregnate 10% or more of oil, this value is currently the limit because the oil separates during melting during molding. Because of this low oil content, there is little oil oozing out from the cage, and it is not possible to provide sufficient oil supply, or lubrication, for rolling bearings, etc., and the rotational torque of the bearing increases, resulting in high-speed, high-temperature operation. Under these conditions, the problem is that the oil film runs out, causing seizure and shortening the life of the bearing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve oil supply over a long period of time by increasing the oil content of plastic, thereby preventing seizures and the like due to lack of oil film, thereby extending the life of the bearing. The objective is to provide a cage that can

Means for Solving Problems〉 As a result of various experiments to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional cage, the present inventor has found that the conventional cage can only be used for porous materials such as sintered metal. We have discovered that it is possible to increase the oil content of non-porous oil-impregnated plastics by subjecting them to oil-impregnating treatment under specified conditions, which was previously thought to be impossible. However, it was also found that even if a cage made of simple plastic that does not contain oil is subjected to immersion treatment, the oil content dries up quickly at high speeds and high temperatures.

Therefore, the cage of the present invention is characterized in that it is molded from an oil-impregnated plastic made of an oil-containing binder and a base material, and is treated by being immersed in oil.

Effect> The entire surface of the cage is impregnated with oil to a predetermined depth due to the oil-impregnating treatment applied after the oil-impregnated plastic is molded into the shape of the cage, so when a bearing equipped with this cage operates, Lubricating is performed from the impregnated oil and the oil contained in the binder, and stable lubrication is achieved over a long period of time. Therefore, bearings with this cage can be used at high speeds,
It does not easily seize even under high-temperature usage conditions, extending its life.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a cage l which is an embodiment of the present invention.
This retainer l has an opening 2 on its side surface and has a rectangular cross section. Balls 3 are held at predetermined intervals by the cage 1, and are made of stainless steel. The cage 1 and balls 3 are provided between an outer ring and an inner ring made of stainless steel (not shown) to form a ball bearing.

The base material is nylon, which is a type of polyamide, and a nylon plastic (6,6-nylon) with a binder containing mineral oil is injection molded into the shape of the cage shown in Figure 1, and then heated at 120°C. It was immersed for 7 days in the same type of mineral oil heated to . The oil content during injection molding is approximately 10%.

Figures 2 (a) and (b) show the oil impregnation depth when 6.6-nylon iris holders were immersed in silicone oil and mineral oil heated to 130°C and 60°C, respectively. However, as can be seen from the data shown in the figure, the impregnation depth is approximately proportional to the oil temperature and treatment time. In other words, the higher the temperature of the treated oil and the longer the treatment time, the greater the impregnation depth. It can also be seen that mineral oil gives better results than silicone oil.

When no grease is used, the time until seizure occurs becomes longer as the oil content of the cage increases, that is, in the order of Comparative Example C° Group, B° Group, and Present Example A′ Group. This shows that the oil supply performance of the cage depends on the oil content. This example A° with oil content of 30°C
The average value of 779 hours for the three samples in the group is 11 times higher than the average value of 67 for the C° group containing 5% silicone oil, which caused seizure the earliest.
This is more than double the amount, which is an extremely worthy value. This value is approximately twice that of Comparative Examples B, C, and D in which grease was used, and it was verified that sufficient oil supply and lubrication effects were achieved.

Good lubrication over time reduces the risk of seizure and significantly extends life.

<Effects of the Invention> The present invention is a novel idea that is far from the conventional wisdom of providing an oil-impregnated region formed by immersing a non-porous oil-impregnated plastic in oil. Since the oil content of the cage is significantly higher than that of conventional cages, lubrication performance is greatly improved, and bearings equipped with this cage can withstand operating conditions such as high speeds and high temperatures without the use of grease. However, it is less likely to seize due to lack of oil film, and the life of the bearing can be significantly extended. Furthermore, since there is no need to use grease, problems caused by grease can be solved, making it ideal for bearings used in spinning machines and the like. Furthermore, since there is no need to use grease, the trouble of regularly replenishing grease can be saved.
