Abstract:
A sliding member (1) includes: a back metal layer (2); optionally a porous metal layer (6); and a sliding layer (3). The sliding layer includes: a synthetic resin matrix (4); graphite particles (5) dispersed in the matrix (4) having a volume ratio of 5-50 % of the sliding layer; optionally 1-20 volume % of one or more solid lubricants; and optionally 1-10 volume % of one or more fillers. The graphite particles are composed of spheroidal particle (51) and flake-like particles (52) having a volume ratio of 10-40 % of total graphite particles (5). The spheroidal particles have a cross-sectional structure with a plurality of AB planes laminated along a curved surface. The flake-like particles have a cross-sectional structure with the AB planes laminated in a thickness direction. The spheroidal particles have an average particle size of 3-50 µm, and the flake-like particles have that of 1-25 µm.
Abstract:
A water based dispersion that includes lubricating nanoparticles. The lubricating nanoparticles can be provided by at least one intercalation nanoparticle of a metal chalcogenide in dispersion with the water base. The at least one intercalation nanoparticle may have a geometry that is fullerene-like, tubular-like structure or be substantially spherical or the intercalation nanoparticles may include particles have each of the aforementioned geometries. The intercalation nanoparticle is surface treated with a dispersant that is water soluble and includes a polar functional group.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a grease composition for a precision instrument comprising a lithium soap grease or a urea grease, and an anti-wear agent, wherein the lithium soap grease and the urea grease are each a grease having no hydroxyl group in a molecule, and the anti-wear agent is contained in an amount of 0.1 to 20% by weight based on the total amount of the grease composition. By the use of the grease composition for a sliding mechanism of a precision instrument such as a watch, an appropriate slip torque can be obtained, and the precision instrument such as a watch can operate stably.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a sliding member that has a coating layer serving as a sliding surface thereof so that even when foreign matter enters between the coating layer and a partner member, smoothness between them is maintained to prevent the occurrence of seizing. When the coating layer has an elastic recovery ratio of less than 60%, foreign matter that has entered between the coating layer and the sliding surface of a partner member is efficiently embedded in the coating layer. When the coating layer is formed of a resin composition, the resin composition contains a binder resin, a solid lubricant, and metal particles having a Young's modulus of 10 GPa or more but 100 GPa or less.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lubricating composition comprising an anti-wear additive and metal nanoparticles. The lubricating composition according to the invention simultaneously exhibits good stability and also good friction properties which last over time.
Abstract:
Bearing 13 has lining layer 17 that is formed of an alloy having a predetermined shape and that has chamfered portion 25, and overlay layer 19 that is formed of a resin on an inner circumferential surface of lining layer 17, the inner circumferential surface sliding relative to a mating shaft, and that covers at least a portion of chamfered portion 25.
Abstract:
A sliding member includes: a lining layer formed from an alloy having a predetermined shape; and an overlay layer formed on an inner circumferential surface of the lining layer, the overlay layer being formed of a resin, the overlay layer sliding with a shaft, the overlay layer including a raised portion a height of which in a predetermined area including each of an edge in an axial direction of the shaft is greater than a height of another area of the overlay layer.
Abstract:
A method of producing a compacted article according to one embodiment may involve the steps of: Providing a copper/molybdenum disulfide composite powder including a substantially homogeneous dispersion of copper and molybdenum disulfide sub-particles that are fused together to form individual particles of the copper/molybdenum disulfide composite powder; and compressing the copper/molybdenum disulfide composite powder under sufficient pressure to cause the copper/molybdenum disulfide composite powder to behave as a nearly solid mass.
Abstract:
A swash plate type compressor is arranged with a plurality of semispherical shoes 4 and a disc shaped swash plate 2. A resin coating 12 having a honeycomb structure is formed on a surface 2A and a rear surface 2B (sliding surface) of the swatch plate 2 which slides with the shoe 4. An edge part 12B (top end) of each of the multiple cylinder bodies 12A which forms the resin coating layer 12 are at the same plane and forms a sliding surface which slides with the shoe 4. In addition, an interior space of each cylinder body 12A forms a storage part of a lubricant and a container part for foreign objects 15. The swash plate 2 can be provided with excellent wear resistance, seizure resistance and lubrication retention.
