Abstract

There is provided a composite plain bearing having excellent heat resistance, creep resistance under high surface pressure, low friction, abrasion resistance, and other characteristics while being capable of manufacture with high productivity. A composite plain bearing ( 1 ) comprising an ingot metal plate ( 2 ) and a resin layer ( 3 ) comprises a resin composition in which an aromatic polyether ketone resin or the like is used as a base resin, wherein the resin layer ( 3 ) is overlaid by injection molding and integrally provided on the surface on the surface of the ingot metal plate ( 2 ) to a thickness of 0.1 to 0.7 mm. The ingot metal plate ( 2 ) is chemically surface-treated on a face joined to the resin layer ( 3 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sliding nut that moves while axially sliding on a screw shaft in accompaniment with the rotation of the screw shaft in a sliding screw device, comprising a nut main body which comprises an ingot metal, wherein a resin layer of a resin composition in which a synthetic resin is used as a base resin is overlaid by injection molding as a threading groove part on a surface of a female threading part into which the screw shaft threadedly engages in the nut main body,
a joining face of the nut main body having a joining film that chemically reacts with a resin layer on said joining face or a joining face of the nut body is provided with very small concavo-convex shapes,
said female threading part is a portion of said nut main body and is formed in an inside diameter part of said nut main body,
said resin layer, which is said threading groove part, is formed so as to cover said surface of said female threading part and
said resin layer, which is said threading groove part, makes sliding contact directly with said screw shaft.

2. The sliding nut of claim 1 , characterized in that the synthetic resin is at least one selected from an aromatic polyether ketone resin, a thermoplastic polyimide resin, and a polyphenylene sulfide resin.

3. The sliding nut of claim 2 , characterized in that the resin composition contains 10 to 30 vol % of polytetrafluoroethylene resin and 2 to 10 vol % of graphite with respect to the entire resin composition without including a fibrous filler.

4. The sliding nut of claim 1 , characterized in that the thermal conductivity of the ingot metal of the nut main body is 50 W/(m·K) or more.

5. The sliding nut of claim 1 , characterized in that the ingot metal of the nut main body is aluminum, an aluminum alloy, copper, or a copper alloy.

6. A sliding nut that moves while axially sliding on a screw shaft in accompaniment with the rotation of the screw shaft in a sliding screw device, comprising a nut main body which comprises a sintered metal, wherein resin layer of a resin composition in which a synthetic resin is used as a base resin is overlaid by injection molding as a threading groove part on a surface of a female threading part into which the screw shaft threadedly engages in the nut main body,
a joining face of the nut main body having a joining film that chemically reacts with a resin layer on said joining face or a joining face of the nut body is provided with very small concavo-convex shapes,
said female threading part is a portion of said nut main body and is formed in an inside diameter part of said nut main body,
said resin layer, which is said threading groove part, is formed so as to cover said surface of said female threading part and
said resin layer, which is said threading groove part, makes sliding contact directly with said screw shaft.

7. A sliding screw device provided with a screw shaft and a sliding nut that moves while axially sliding on the screw shaft in accompaniment with the rotation of the screw shaft, the sliding screw device being characterized in that the sliding nut is the sliding nut of claim 1 .

8. The sliding screw device of claim 7 , characterized in that the inside diameter of the smallest part of the nut main body is less than the outside diameter of the largest part of the screw shaft.

9. A sliding screw device provided with a screw shaft and a sliding nut that moves while axially sliding on the screw shaft in accompaniment with the rotation of the screw shaft, the sliding screw device being characterized in that the sliding nut is the sliding nut of claim 6 .

10. The sliding nut of claim 1 , characterized in that the thickness of the resin layer is 0.1 to 1.5 mm.

11. The sliding nut of claim 6 , characterized in that the thickness of the resin layer is 0.1 to 1.5 mm.
