Abstract

A sliding surface located to one side in the axial direction relative to the axially central position of a rotary shaft is supported by the slide surface of a supply shaft in a slidable manner in the axial direction, the slide surface being the surface on which sliding occurs. The portion located to the other side in the axial direction side relative to the axially central position of the rotary shaft is fixed to an output shaft. The sliding surface is positioned on the surface of a hard coating, and the hard coating is positioned so as to cover a part of a substrate made of a GFRP. The slide surface is positioned on the surface of a hard coating, and the hard coating is positioned so as to cover a part of a substrate made of a GFRP.

First claim

a rotating shaft having an annular sliding surface on one side in an axial direction;
a torque transmitting part fixed to the other side in the axial direction of the rotating shaft;
a rotating shaft supporting part having an annular slid surface configured to slide in the axial direction on the sliding surface and the rotating shaft supporting part being configured to support the rotating shaft while being movable in the axial direction with respect to the rotating shaft; and
a superconducting coil held by the rotating shaft and cooled by a coolant supplied from one end side of the rotating shaft in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, wherein:
at least one of the sliding surface and the slid surface being present on a surface of a hard coating film located to partially cover a heat input suppressing part made of a fiber-reinforced plastic;
the hard coating film being harder than the heat input suppressing part;
an end surface on one side in the axial direction of the hard coating film is smoothly connected to a surface of the heat input suppressing part;
a surface of the heat input suppressing part has a recess; and
the end surface on the one side of the hard coating film is smoothly connected to a side surface in an axial direction of the recess.

2. The superconducting rotating machine according to claim 1 , wherein the hard coating film is formed by thermal spraying.

3. A superconducting rotating machine comprising:
a rotating shaft having an annular sliding surface on one side of the rotating shaft in an axial direction;
a torque transmitting part fixed to the other side in the axial direction of the rotating shaft;
a rotating shaft supporting part having an annular slid surface configured to slide in the axial direction on the sliding surface and the rotating shaft supporting part being configured to support the rotating shaft while being movable in the axial direction with respect to the rotating shaft; and
a superconducting coil held by the rotating shaft and cooled by a coolant supplied from one end side of the rotating shaft in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, wherein:
at least one of the sliding surface and the slid surface being present on a surface of a hard coating film located to partially cover a heat input suppressing part made of a fiber-reinforced plastic;
the hard coating film is harder than the heat input suppressing part; and
