Sintered bearings can be found in a multitude of applications, such as electric motors of vehicles, fans, household appliances and power tools. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention relates to an electrically conductive sintered bearing which is made of sintered metal and has internal pores impregnated with electrically conducting oil, and an inner periphery of the electrically conductive sintered bearing. Whether a sintered bearing is metal, ceramic, or polymer-based, Krytox performance lubricants retain their viscosity and lubricating properties in high-temperature, high-pressure environments, while consistently outperforming hydrocarbon-based lubricants. This lifelong lubrication makes sintered bearings a versatile alternative to costly roller bearings. Spyraflo robust light weight aluminium housing with self aligning bronze bearings.

This is attributed to a phenomenon in which the amount of the Cu powder being attached to the surface of the core rod is likely to increase as the amount of the powder mixture dropping along the surface of the core rod increases. A preferred ratio of the area occupied by the Cu phase relative to the area of the inner circumferential surface S in the central portion 3AS of the first region 3A in the oil-impregnated sintered bearing 10 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The Cu-based sintered bearing according to claim 1, wherein the porosity is 10% or more and 25% or less. In the above-described bearing 20 of the second embodiment as well, in the inner circumferential surface S of the bearing hole 4, the area ratio of the Cu phase in a central portion 4B S along the shaft line of the enlarged diameter portion 4b formed in the second region 4B is set to 80% or more and 100% or less of the area ratio of the Cu phase in a central portion 4CS along the shaft line of the enlarged diameter portion 4c formed in the third region 4C. The area ratio of the Cu phase in the central portion 4BS along the shaft line of the enlarged diameter portion 4b formed in the second region 4B is preferably 90% or more and preferably 100% or less of the area ratio of the Cu phase in the central portion 4CS along the shaft line of the enlarged diameter portion 4c formed in the third region 4C, but is not limited thereto. Provided is a Cu-based sintered bearing comprising: 15-36 mass% of Ni; 3-13 mass% of Sn; 0.05-0.55 mass% of P; and 0.02-4 mass% C in total, the balance consisting of Cu and inevitable impurities, wherein the content of C forming an alloy with a matrix within Cu-Ni main-phase grains is 0.02-0.10 mass%. Sintered bearings are used whenever particularly low noise levels are required, loads are variable or little space is available. A production method for an oil-impregnated sintered bearing that is another aspect of the present invention has the following configuration. The samples 8 to 10 were formed by loading a powder mixture in which the mixing ratio was set to Fe-20 wt % Cu-2 wt % Sn into a cavity, sliding a core rod vertically in the cavity along the vertical direction, pressing upper and lower punches fitted into the cavity, and sintering the powder mixture. As a result, wear of the oil-impregnated sintered bearing and generation of unusual noise due to stress concentration can be suppressed, making it possible to use the oil-impregnated sintered bearing for a long period of time in a stable manner. The low wettable surface drags the oil droplets firmer than the high wettable surface, which generates the secure oil circulation in the bearing clearance for the PTFE-coated shaft. The lower punch 33 is fitted into the die 31 of the mold 30, and the core rod 34 is lowered up to the bottom of the cavity P. Next, as shown in FIG. In the bearing 20 of the present embodiment, in the inner circumferential surface S of the bearing hole 4, the area ratio of the Cu phase in the central portion 4BS of the enlarged diameter phosphor bronze portion 4b is set to 80% or more and 100% or less of the central portion 4CS of the enlarged diameter portion 4c. Therefore, a state in which the area ratio of the Cu phase does not significantly change throughout the entire region from the enlarged diameter portion 4b through the enlarged diameter portion 4c across the straight hole portion 4a and the area ratio of the Cu phase does not significantly change is caused.

The particles 11 that are Cu—Ni main phase grains are made of Cu—Ni alloy grains containing Sn, P, and C, and a plurality of particles 11 are sintered to constitute a base of the Cu-based sintered member 10. Sintering is static when a metal powder under certain external conditions may exhibit coalescence, and yet reverts to its normal behavior when such conditions are removed.

The combination of these properties with the excellent oxidative stability and superior anti-wear performance makes the Tacbecon Sintered Bearing Oil Series the popular choice to lubricate sintered bearings, optimising the equipment uptime. In a bearing obtained through the above-described steps, the area ratio of the Cu phase has been adjusted not to change significantly throughout the entire inside surface of the bearing hole by the core rod sliding step, and even when the rotating shaft is rotated at a high speed, it is possible to reliably prevent the local abrasion of the inner circumferential surface of the bearing hole that is configured to receive the rotating shaft or a local increase in the friction force. Most of the sintered bronze bearings supplied by THN are made from SINT A51 or a comparable material, and are 18% – 20% impregnated with mineral oil. 1 shows a ring-shaped bearing (Cu-based sintered bearing) 1 made of a Cu-based sintered member 10 of the present embodiment. Along with the above operation, the inner peripheral surface 11a of the sintered bearing material 11 is pressed against the master form 13a of the core rod 13, and the region pressed against the maser form 13a becomes plastic deformation. Next, the obtained sintered body was stored in a mold, and sizing was performed by applying a predetermined pressure within a range of 200 MPa to 700 MPa. 3. The oil-impregnated sintered bearing according to claim 1, wherein the Cu phase formed of Cu powder including Cu-based flat raw material powder is formed in the first region, and an area occupied by the Cu phase relative to an area of the inner circumferential surface in a center along the shaft direction of the first region is 50% or more. The pores 12 impregnate and store the lubricating oil, and have an effect of increasing the wear resistance of the bearing 1 by supplying the lubricating oil when the bearing 1 slides with the counterpart member (for example, the shaft 2 shown in FIG. To allow efficient stacking of product in the furnace during sintering and to prevent parts sticking together, many manufacturers separate ware using ceramic powder separator sheets. In the present embodiment, the first region 3A, the second region 3B, and the third region 3C set in the inner circumferential surface S of the bearing hole 3 are set to evenly trisect the entire length of the bearing hole 3 along the shaft line The first region 3A, the second region 3B, and the third region 3C can be set to divide the entire length of the bearing hole 3 along the shaft line at random proportions. The electric sintered bearing 50 is formed in the cylindrical shape with a porous material made of sintered metal, inner pores of which are impregnated with conductive oil. Specifically, Fe powder and Cu powder are introduced into a mold having a core rod inserted into a cavity, and a Fe—Cu-based sintered body is shaped, thereby shaping a sintered body including a through hole that is a straight hole as a whole. Such stress concentration can lead to undesirable effects for the oil-impregnated sintered bearing, such as wear of the bearing surface of the oil-impregnated sintered bearing and generation of unusual noise. In such a case, it is possible to improve the ratio of the Cu phase in the surface of the pressurization portion of the core rod 34 during pressurization. Genuine Oilite Sintered Bronze designed to be fitted in H7 housings and f7 shafts. In the present embodiment, the first region 4A, the second region 4B, and the third region 4C set in the inner circumferential surface S of the bearing hole 4 are set to evenly trisect the entire length of the bearing hole 4 along the shaft line The first region 4A, the second region 4B, and the third region 4C can be set to divide the entire length of the bearing hole 4 along the shaft line at random proportions. In an oil-impregnated sintered bearing, the inside of a sintered body is impregnated with a lubricant in advance, the oil is caused to flow out by a pumping action by the rotation of a shaft and thermal expansion by friction heat, and a friction surface is lubricated. In Fe—Cu-based sintered bearings of the related art, the areas occupied by the Cu phase significantly differ in a portion that has been in the upper side of the cavity during shaping and a portion that has been present in the lower side, and there have been cases where local abrasion or the like occurs during the high-speed rotation of rotating shafts. Oil wettability of the shaft surfaces was found to have a large effect on the friction of those bearings. The most important characteristics of sintered bronze sliding bearings is that the bearings are mainly suitable for hydrodynamic, lubricated conditions or high rotation speeds. The above oil-impregnated sintered bearing device can be suitably incorporated for use into a power transmission mechanism for an automotive power window.

With the increase in the price of copper in recent years, there has been greater demand for sintered bearings made of materials that can be used as a substitute for bronze bearings. In the event that your requirements cannot be met by stock items, our bespoke service enables us to produce both bronze and iron Oilite bearings and customer specific structural parts that are specifically designed to meet individual requirements.

When the content of C contained in the Cu—Ni raw material powder is less than 0.02 mass%, there is nothing that suppresses the sintering of the raw material powders, so that the sintering is promoted and the size is reduced by the sintering. To summarize, much larger amount of oil was retained in the bearing clearance for the PTFE-coated shaft (i.e., low wettable shaft) than that for the noncoated shaft (i.e., highly wettable shaft), and oil circulation in the bearing clearance (along with shaft rotation) was observed for the PTFE-coated shaft. The area occupied by the Cu phase relative to the area of the inner circumferential surface S in the central portion 6AS of the straight hole portion 6a formed in the first region 6A is preferably 80% or more and preferably 100% or less, but is not limited thereto. The area ratio of the Cu phase in the central portion 3CS along the shaft line of the third region 3C can also be computed in the same manner. We focused on the oil amount on the shaft and in the bearing clearance first as a cause of the friction reduction of the PTFE-coated shaft. There is a report that a low oil-wettable surface showed low friction due to the slip between the oil and the surface especially under fluid lubrication condition 9 Some processing, coating, doping, etc., on the surface is usually necessary to provide low oil wettability to metal surfaces and needs additional cost. Low oil-wettable shaft could retain a larger amount of oil in the bearing clearances and indicated lower friction than highly wettable shaft. A sintered bearing unit (comparative example 1) in which a sintered bearing impregnated with normal lubricating oil is unitized according to the configuration shown in FIG. The energized sintered bearing unit according to any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein an axial position restricting portion that restricts an axial relative movement of the energized sintered bearing and the shaft is provided on the shaft. The area occupied by the Cu phase relative to the area of the inner circumferential surface S in the central portion 4AS of the straight hole portion 4a formed in the first region 4A is preferably 80% or more and preferably 100% or less, but is not limited thereto. Note that bearing frictional torque is usually different from that of the shaft. Through unequaled metallurgical expertise, industry-leading manufacturing capabilities, and comprehensive product testing, we provide innovative sintered bearings that maximize long-term reliability, and minimize production and maintenance costs. The pressure of the oil film formed in the bearing gap increases, and the rotation support function improves. It is also possible to configure a1 and the relief portions 50a2, 50a3 (the entire inner peripheral surface 50a) by one R surface (convex arc surface). Friction coefficients of oil-impregnated sintered bearings with stainless steel shafts were measured. In the straight hole portion 4a, the lubricant is caused to flow out from the inside of the bearing main body 1 by a pumping action by the rotation of the rotating shaft 2 and thermal expansion by friction heat, and the friction surface is lubricated. Oilite bearings continue to set the standard for all other self-lubricating bearings and Bowman International is proud to be the sole supplier of genuine Oilite bearings in the UK and Europe in partnership with Beemer Precision Inc. The bearing main body (sintered body) 1 is formed of a Fe—Cu-based sintered metal (Fe—Cu-based sintered body). Designed for harsh operating conditions, the AuGlide lead-free bearings feature a bimetal composition—steel backing and a bronze overlay—that earns RoHS compliance. The bearing 20 having the above-described configuration is used in a state in which, for example, the bearing main body 1 is impregnated with a lubricant and the rotating shaft 2 is inserted into the bearing hole 4. FIG. The Sn high-concentration alloy layer 14 includes inner surfaces of internal pores 12a that are present in the Cu-based sintered member 10, inner surfaces of open pores 12b that are formed open on the surface of the Cu-based sintered member 10, and open pores 12b.

Plastic materials are formed by sintering for applications that require materials of specific porosity. In an oil-impregnated sintered bearing (hereinafter, simply referred to as the bearing) 20, a bearing hole 4 into which the rotating shaft 2 is scheduled to be inserted is provided inside the bearing main body (sintered body) 1 formed of a Fe—Cu-based sintered metal. The oil droplet on the noncoated shaft subsequently spread to cover the wide range of the shaft surface, while that on the PTFE-coated shaft retained its original droplet shape. Sintering of powders containing precious metals such as silver and gold is used to make small jewelry items. The porosity of bearings produced through the conventional powdered metal process makes oil impregnation possible, eliminating the need for a supplemental lubrication system. Figure 6 shows metallurgical microscopic (Olympus BHMJ, Japan) images of typical shaft and bearing surfaces before and after the tests. To investigate the movement of the oil droplets, the dragging effect of the oil droplets by the PTFE-coated shaft was examined by simple tests shown in Figure 16 An oil droplet was bridged between the parallel plates with 1-mm gap, and the upper plate was moved in parallel to the lower plate. The oil-impregnated sintered bearing with PTFE-coated shaft showed lower friction than that with the noncoated (bare metal) shaft. These bearings are often used in relatively small parts, and their friction loss is a serious issue because of small power consumptions allowed for such parts. The area ratio of the Cu phase in the central portion 3BS along the shaft line of the second region 3B is preferably 90% or more and preferably 100% or less of the area ratio of the Cu phase in the central portion 3CS along the shaft line of the third region 3C, but is not limited thereto. 2 is a schematic diagram of a structure in which a cross section close to the surface of the Cu-based sintered member 10 constituting the Cu-based sintered bearing 1 of this embodiment is observed with an optical microscope. On the other hand, copper-nickel-based Cu-based sintered members are enhanced in strength by adding a large amount of Ni, and are expected as sintered members that can be applied to parts that require high surface pressure and require high-precision control. EXAMPLE In order to evaluate the basic characteristics of the electro-sintered bearing unit (example) having the configuration shown in FIG. Our range is extensive and anyone looking for bearings designed with precision and exceptional functionality in mind will benefit from having a look at our range. As the oil cannot be lost through circulation during rotary movements, Métafram bearings are self-lubricating. Figure 7 shows oil deposition on the shafts pulled out from the bearings. In the exceptional case that the pores of the bearing are filled with oil for 100%, it is when the bearing operates in an oil bath, full hydrodynamic lubrication can be maintained. In this way, a crowning portion of the above-mentioned configuration is formed at one end or both ends of the bearing surface in the inner periphery of the oil-impregnated sintered bearing. During operation of the above-mentioned power transmission mechanism for a power window, the lubricating oil which is impregnated in the oil-impregnated sintered bearings 21 oozes out to the sliding portions between the oil-impregnated sintered bearings 21 and the shaft 22, and oil films are formed by the lubricating oil thus oozing out. The Cu-based sintered bearing according to claim 1, wherein the content of C as free graphite existing at a grain boundary between the Cu-Ni main phase grains is 0.988 mass% or more and 3.787 mass% or less. However, iron-based and iron-copper-based sintered members have a high coefficient of friction and are not suitable for applications that require high-precision control, such as throttle valve bushes, and ball bearings are used. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the rotating shaft is held in the oil-impregnated sintered bearing shown in FIG. The Cu-based sintered bearing according to claim 1, wherein the Ni content is 20.6 mass% or more and 35.2 mass% or less. To estimate the effect of the capillary force on the bearing friction, assume the oil filled by θ = ±30° for the noncoated shaft and θ = ±80° for the PTFE-coated shaft in the bearing clearance, respectively. The outer peripheral surface of the electro-sintered bearing 50 is fixed to the inner circumference of a metal housing (not shown), and the housing is fixed to the inner circumference of the charging roller (40). The washer 53 is attached to the other end face side of the electro-sintered bearing 50 right end face side in FIGS. Though such techniques will possibly generalize low oil-wettable shafts, it seems that providing low oil wettability to the metal surfaces is not widely practiced so far to reduce the friction considering the benefits of good wettability to the lubricity described above and cost-effectiveness.

Oil-impregnated sintered bearings are widely used in various products. Accordingly, there are two general methods to secure the service life of sintered bearings. The electro-sintered bearing 50 is made of a sintered metal and is formed into a cylindrical shape, and the internal pores thereof are impregnated with electro-conductive oil. The column 3AS portion” in Table 3 shows the ratios (%) of the areas occupied by the Cu phase relative to the areas of the inner circumferential surfaces S in the central portions 3AS of the first regions 3A in the inner circumferential surface S of the bearing hole 3 of FIG. Sintered bronze in particular is frequently used as a material for bearings , since its porosity allows lubricants to flow through it or remain captured within it. Sintered copper may be used as a wicking structure in certain types of heat pipe construction, where the porosity allows a liquid agent to move through the porous material via capillary action For materials that have high melting points such as molybdenum , tungsten , rhenium , tantalum , osmium and carbon , sintering is one of the few viable manufacturing processes. 4 is a main portion-enlarged cross-sectional view showing a main portion of the oil-impregnated sintered bearing in an enlarged manner. For optimum performance the bearing conditions should favour the formation of a hydrodynamic film of oil over the bearing surface. Origin: EP2824340A1 Provided is a sintered bearing (1) including an inner layer (2) and an outer layer (3) formed by integral molding, the sintered bearing (1) having a bearing surface (A) formed on an inner peripheral surface (2a) of an inner layer (2). A majority of oil-impregnated sintered bearings are formed of an iron (Fe)-copper (Cu)-based sintered metal. DescriptionMaterial:Sintered bronze similar to SINT A50.Version:Oil impregnated (ca. 1) is rotated at a high speed, it is possible to reliably prevent the local abrasion of the inner circumferential surface S of the bearing hole 3 that is configured to receive the rotating shaft 2 or a local increase in the friction force. Further, due to the spring-back when the radial pressing force is canceled, the core rod 13 can be easily pulled out of the sintered bearing material 11 without having to exert any excessive force. SOLUTION: This electric sintered bearing unit comprises an electric sintered bearing 50, a shaft 51 inserted into an inner periphery of the electric sintered bearing 50, and washers 51, 52 as main elements. It is preferable that an interval d2 between both straight lines L1a and L1b is slightly larger than a diameter D of the rotating shaft 2 and almost equal to an inner diameter of the straight hole portion 6a, but is not limited thereto. In the initial state described above, the core rod 13 and the upper punch 14 are lowered integrally; the core rod 13 is inserted into the inner periphery of the sintered bearing material 11, and at the same time, the upper punch 14 is pressed against the upper end surface of the sintered bearing material 11. As a result, the distance between the opposing end surfaces of the upper and lower punches 14 and 15 abutting the sintered bearing material 11 is set to a predetermined value.

By matching the material and particle size to the ware being sintered, surface damage and contamination can be reduced while maximizing furnace loading. 5. A sintered bearing as claimed in claim 1 wherein the copper-base alloy contains zinc in a proportion up to 5% by weight. In the first region 3A, the second region 3B, and the third region 3C, the area ratios of the Cu phase to the unit areas of at least the friction surfaces that are the respective surfaces thereof need to be in the above-described ranges, and, furthermore, a region in which the above-described area ratios of the Cu phase are maintained may extend from the surfaces in a predetermined thickness range. JP 2003-120673 A discloses an oil-impregnated sintered bearing having tapered surfaces expanding its diameter in opposite directions at both axial ends of its inner periphery. In order to suppress the increase of the rotational torque, the axial position restricting portion can be made of a low friction material. This shows that, in the inner circumferential surface S of the bearing hole 6, for example, in the entire region from the first opening 6E1 through the second opening 6E2 (the entire region from the enlarged diameter portion 6b through the enlarged diameter portion 6c across the straight hole portion 6a), the area ratio of the Cu phase does not significantly decrease and changes up to a maximum of approximately 20%. As the mixing ratio of the Cu powder 42 increases, the area ratio of the Cu phase increases, and the difference of the area ratio of the Cu phase in the inside surface S of the bearing hole 3 decreases.
