Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、シール材との適合性を要求される潤滑油、例えば産業機械用潤滑油、自動車用エンジン油、ギヤ油、自動変速機油や建設機械、農業機械等のエンジンやトランスミッション等に使用される潤滑油に関する。
【0002】
【従来技術】
従来、潤滑油は、その使用用途によっても相違するが、粘度特性、耐摩耗性、焼付防止性(極圧性)、摩擦特性、耐腐食性、低温流動性、酸化安定性、さび止め性、ゴムシールとの適合性、消泡性、剪断安定性などの諸特性に優れていることが求められることが多い。このため、潤滑油には粘度指数向上剤、摩擦調整剤、磨耗防止剤、腐食防止剤、流動点降下剤、酸化防止剤、防錆剤、無灰分散剤、金属清浄剤、消泡剤など各種の添加剤が配合されている。
【0003】
前記諸特性の多くは前記添加剤を前記潤滑油に配合することによって改善することができる。しかしながら、前記のような添加剤を潤滑油に配合した場合には、しばしばシール材との適合性が問題となる場合がある。すなわち、前記のような添加剤を潤滑油に配合することによりゴムシール材が収縮し、更には強度低下をしてしまう場合がある。その多くは、基油として高度に精製された鉱油や合成油を使用したときに顕著である。
従来、前記シール材の収縮の問題に対処する目的で、前記各添加剤の他に、シール材の膨潤剤を添加している。しかしながら、従来公知の膨潤剤は、シール材の容積と硬さを変化させることができるものの、シール材の強度は依然として改善できないでいた。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、シール材との適合性を要求される潤滑油、例えば産業機械用潤滑油、自動車用エンジン油、ギヤ油、自動変速機油や建設機械、農業機械等のエンジンやトランスミッション等に使用される潤滑油に要求される各特性、例えば耐摩耗性、焼き付き防止性、摩耗特性等とゴムシール材の収縮および強度低下の問題を解決した潤滑油組成物を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】

前記脂肪族アミンのアルキル基の炭素数は6〜30程度のものである。
前記第1級アミンの使用量は、使用するアミンの種類によっても相違するが、通常潤滑油組成物全量の0.01〜5重量%程度、好ましくは0.05〜1.5重量%程度である。
【0007】
本発明で用いる潤滑油基油の種類は特に限定されるものではなく、従来公知の各種鉱油や合成潤滑油、これらの混合油等が使用できる。鉱油としては、例えば、軽質ニュートラル油、中質ニュートラル油、重質ニュートラル油、ブライトストック、高度精製基油などが挙げられる。合成潤滑油としては、例えば、ポリα−オレフィン、ポリブテン、アルキルベンゼン、ポリオールエステル、二塩基酸エステル、ポリオキシアルキレングリコール、シリコーン油などが挙げられる。これらの基油は、それぞれ単独で、あるいは2種以上を混合して使用することができる。
【0008】

【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例を示す。
1.試験に用いた供試油は下表1に示す基油と種々の添加剤を混合した基本組成に、下記表2に示すC、F、G、K、L、Mの従来の膨潤剤および今回新たにゴムシール膨潤剤として使用したN、P、Qのアミン化合物にGを併用して作った建機用トランスミッション専用潤滑油を用いた。
2.シール材適合性試験
この試験はJIS K−6301に準拠し、シール材(A305)試験片を供試油中に140℃で70時間浸漬した後、試験片の体積、硬度、引っ張り強度および伸びを測定し、浸漬前のそれぞれの測定値に対する変化を求めた。

前表3〜5の結果から、従来の膨潤剤(F、G、K、L、M)のみを含む潤滑油(比較例2〜7)はシール材の体積変化率と硬度変化を若干改善するものの、引っ張り強度および伸びを低下させる傾向にあることがわかった。
一方で、今回新たにシール材の適合性を向上させる目的で加えたアミン系化合物(N、P、Q)を用いた場合(比較例8〜10)には、引っ張り強度および伸びにほとんと変化が見られず、これらの評価項目において、試験前のシール材の特性を維持している事が判明した。
【0017】
さらに従来公知のシール膨潤剤(G)と一級アミンの相互作用を調査する目的で、公知のシール膨潤剤(G)に前記NあるいはP添加剤を加えた試料油のシール材適合性を調べた(実施例1〜13)。
膨潤剤Gの添加量を1.0及び1.5wt%添加した系に、前記NあるいはP添加剤を0.1〜0.5wt%添加した場合のシール材の強度(引っ張り強度と伸び)に与える影響を図1〜4にまとめた。これらの図から、前記NあるいはP添加剤を添加する、さらにその添加量を増加すると、試験後のシール材強度が改善されていることがわかる。
以上から、従来公知のシール膨潤剤のうち、フタル酸エチレングリコレートエステルに脂肪族アミンを組み合わせて添加した場合に限り、シール材の体積、硬さ、引張強度、伸びの何れの特性も試験前と同等に維持できることが判明した。
【0018】
【効果】
本発明によると、耐摩耗剤、酸化防止剤や粘度指数向上剤といった添加剤の他にゴムシール材の膨潤剤としてフタル酸エチレングリコレートエステルと脂肪族アミンを併用添加した場合は、ゴムシール材の容積と硬さを変化させることもなく、かつ強度を低下させることがない潤滑油が提供された。

The lubricating oil composition of the present invention is particularly effective for a sealing material of synthetic rubber such as nitrile rubber, silicone rubber, and acrylic rubber.
[0010]
【Example】
Examples of the present invention will be described below.
1. The test oil used in the test was prepared by mixing the base oil shown in Table 1 below with various additives, the conventional swelling agents of C, F, G, K, L, and M shown in Table 2 below and this time A lubricating oil specifically for construction equipment transmissions, which was made by using G in combination with N, P, and Q amine compounds newly used as rubber seal swelling agents, was used.
2. Seal material compatibility test This test is based on JIS K-6301. After immersing the seal material (A305) test piece in the test oil at 140 ° C for 70 hours, the test piece volume, hardness, tensile strength and elongation were measured. Measurements were made and the changes to the respective measured values before immersion were determined.
[0011]

In Table 1 above,
(1) Base oil A: poly α-olefin (viscosity at 100 ° C. 6.0 mm 2 / S)

[0016]
From the results shown in Tables 3 to 5, the lubricating oil (Comparative Examples 2 to 7) containing only the conventional swelling agents (F, G, K, L, and M) slightly improves the volume change rate and the hardness change of the sealing material. However, it was found that the tensile strength and elongation tend to decrease.
On the other hand, when the amine compound (N, P, Q) added for the purpose of improving the compatibility of the sealing material is used ( Comparative Examples 8 to 10 ), the tensile strength and the elongation are substantially changed. In these evaluation items, it was found that the characteristics of the sealing material before the test were maintained.
[0017]
Furthermore, for the purpose of investigating the interaction between the known seal swelling agent (G) and the primary amine, the compatibility of the sealing material with the sample oil obtained by adding the N or P additive to the known seal swelling agent (G) was examined. ( Examples 1-13 ).
To the strength (tensile strength and elongation) of the sealing material when 0.1 to 0.5 wt% of the N or P additive is added to the system in which the addition amount of the swelling agent G is 1.0 and 1.5 wt% The effects are summarized in FIGS. From these figures, it can be seen that when the N or P additive is added and the addition amount is further increased, the strength of the sealing material after the test is improved.
From the above, the properties of the volume, hardness, tensile strength, and elongation of the sealing material are all measured before testing only when an aliphatic amine is added to phthalic acid ethylene glycolate ester among the conventionally known seal swelling agents. It was found that the same can be maintained.
[0018]
【effect】
According to the present invention, in addition to additives such as antiwear agents, antioxidants, and viscosity index improvers, when ethylene glycolate phthalate and an aliphatic amine are added together as a swelling agent for rubber seal materials, the volume of the rubber seal material Thus, there is provided a lubricating oil that does not change the hardness and does not decrease the strength.
