Abstract

A control device controls an internal combustion engine including: an elastic wave sensor arranged and configured to output a signal responsive to the strength of an acoustic emission wave produced at a sliding portion; and a variable oil pump. The control device is configured to execute an oil pressure control such that the oil pressure approaches a target oil pressure according to an engine operating condition. This oil pressure control includes a first pressure-increase processing executed where an AE correlation value correlated with the strength or occurrence frequency of the acoustic emission wave detected by the elastic wave sensor is greater than a first threshold value. The first pressure-increase processing increases the target oil pressure associated with a first engine operating condition present when the AE correlation value becomes greater than the first threshold value, as compared to when the AE correlation value is not greater than that.

Abstract

Bearing 11 has base material 110 and coating layer 111. Base material 110 contains crank shaft 13 on an inner circumferential surface side. The inner circumferential surface of base material 110 is coated with coating layer 111. The inner circumferential surface side of base material 110 is coated with a resin with a thickness t, the resin is dried, and thereafter surface treatment is carried out such that multiple grooves C are provided on the surface of the resin so as to intersect with the direction of crank shaft 13, whereby coating layer 111 is formed. Peak portions B formed between adjacent grooves C come into contact with the outer circumferential surface of crank shaft 13 to support crank shaft 13. With bearing 11, the thickness of peak portions B at the center in the direction of the crank shaft 13 differs from the thickness of peak portions B at the end.

Abstract

This sliding bearing comprises a pair of semicircular half bearings formed into a cylindrical shape by bringing both circumferential ends thereof into contact with each other. The axial width of the half bearings is narrower in both circumferential ends and the circumferential center, and wider in the quarter parts located therebetween. During manufacturing of the half bearings, finishing by cutting processing is first performed on the parts of a flat-plate material which after formation are to become the two axial-direction end faces and the two circumferential-direction end faces of the half bearings, and thereafter, the flat-plate material is deformed into a semicircle.

Abstract

This sliding bearing comprises a pair of semicircular half bearings formed into a cylindrical shape by bringing both circumferential ends thereof into contact with each other. The axial width of the half bearings is narrower in both circumferential ends and the circumferential center, and wider in the quarter parts located therebetween. During manufacturing of the half bearings, finishing by cutting processing is first performed on the parts of a flat-plate material which after formation are to become the two axial-direction end faces and the two circumferential-direction end faces of the half bearings, and thereafter, the flat-plate material is deformed into a semicircle.

Abstract

A thrust bearing is equipped with a resin coating applied to the surface of a base material. Lattice-shaped discharge grooves are formed in the surface of the thrust bearing, and planer protrusions having a square shape or the like are formed at the adjacent positions thereof. Each corner part of each planer protrusion form a sliding surface that slides with respect to a counterpart member. Contaminants such as wear particles that have infiltrated between the counterpart member and the sliding surface fail into the discharge grooves and then are discharged outside of the sliding surface. The chamfering of each corner part to a rounded shape prevents the contaminants from accumulating in the discharge grooves, thus preventing the contaminants from biting into the planer protrusions.

Abstract

The outer periphery of the outer part of a substrate is a chamfer, and the outer part of the substrate is covered by a resin film layer. The thickness of the resin film layer at the chamfer is thicker than the locations radially further inwards from said chamfer. The surface of the resin film layer on the outer peripheral edge of the outer part is coplanar with the surface of the resin film layer further inwards. These locations act as the sliding surface (the surface of the swash plate) that slides on a shoe, and compared with conventional techniques, because the resin film layer in the outer peripheral edge is thick, attrition of the portion being pressed against the shoe is suppressed. For that reason, the outer peripheral edge of the substrate and the vicinity thereof are prevented from being exposed, and seizure of the swash plate can be prevented.

Abstract

This swash plate comprises a resin film layer formed on the front surface and the rear surface, and said resin film layer serves as the sliding surface which slides on a shoe. The inner periphery of the resin film layer is a tilted surface which a lubricant can easily cross over. In other words, angle θ1 is 10° or less and angle θ2 of the rising part is set to 20° or less, and when the lubricant is supplied from the inner periphery side of the swash plate, said lubricant easily crosses over said inner periphery which is a tilted surface, and is quickly supplied to the surface (the sliding surface) outside of said inner periphery. Because the lubricant is quickly supplied to the front surface and the rear surface (the sliding surface) of the swash plate, seizure of the swash plate can be prevented.

Abstract

A sliding material based on graphite-added resin containing 5 to 60% by weight of graphite particles having an average particle diameter of from 5 to 50 μm, and a degree of graphitization of 0.6 or more, with the balance being one or more of polyimide resin and polyamide-imide resin, and further, the number of the graphite particles having a minimum diameter/maximum diameter ratio (hereinafter referred to as “particle ratio”) of 0.5 or more amounts to 50% or more of the total number of the graphite particles observed in a photograph of an optional cross section of the sliding material based on graphite-added resin.

Abstract

In a bearing apparatus provided herein a hard steel shaft is an opposite shaft of an Al—Sn—Si based alloy plain bearing. Its wear resistance is enhanced. The bearing apparatus comprises a steel shaft having hardness of Hv 500 or more at least on a surface thereof, and a plain bearing. The plain bearing is formed of an aluminum alloy containing 2 to 10 mass % of Si, 8 to 18 mass % Sn, and the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities, wherein the volume of Sn phase is 50% or more of the volume of the Si particles(the average particle diameter of Si of the aluminum alloy is 4 to 10 μm). The aluminum alloy has a hardness of Hv 45 or more.

Abstract

a of the piston 4. A columnar portion 13 is formed between the spherical surface portion 11 and the end surface portion 12 in the shoe 5, and in a boundary area between the columnar portion 13 and the spherical surface portion 11, there is formed a spherical-surface-portion side flange 14 which protrudes radially outward and constitutes the spherical surface portion.
