Definitions
- the present invention relates to a half sliding bearing manufacturing method and a half sliding bearing.
- the half-sliding bearing is assembled as, for example, a connecting rod of an automobile engine, and is used as a bearing for smoothly rotating a crank pin of a crankshaft inserted through the connecting rod with respect to the connecting rod.
- a positioning member protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the half-slide bearing is formed, and a fitting groove (recess) is formed in the bearing housing.
- the half sliding bearing is positioned with respect to the bearing housing by fitting the positioning member into the fitting groove.
- the amount of protrusion of the positioning member from the outer peripheral surface of the half slide bearing to the radially outer side is determined by the amount of the bearing housing. It is desirable to make it as large as possible according to the size of the fitting groove.
- the half sliding bearing described in Patent Document 1 includes a semi-cylindrical bearing body and a positioning member formed on a mating surface of the bearing body.
- the positioning member includes a flat portion that is shifted (dented) from the mating surface in the circumferential direction of the bearing body, and includes a protruding portion that protrudes radially outward of the bearing body from the flat portion.
- the upper surface of the projecting portion is flush with the flat portion, and both exist on the same virtual plane.
- the half-slide bearing having such a configuration can be manufactured as follows. First, a semi-cylindrical bearing body is prepared. A flat machining surface of the tool is applied to a part of the outer peripheral side of the mating surface (half surface) of the bearing body (see FIG.
- the positioning member is formed by the method described in Patent Document 1
- the amount of deformation of the forming material of the bearing body increases as the protruding amount of the positioning member increases.
- unexpected deformation may occur in the bearing body, adversely affecting the bearing performance, and there may be restrictions on the material selection of the bearing body, limiting the design freedom of the half-slide bearing. It was.
- the positioning member is formed by the method described in Patent Document 3
- there is a concern that the durability of the tool is reduced due to an increase in stress applied to the tool, and the manufacturing efficiency is lowered.
- the inventor of the present application has found that if a part of the forming material of the bearing body pressed with the width of the tool narrowed is allowed to escape to the outside of the tool, the bearing It was considered that the amount of protrusion (the amount of protrusion from the outer peripheral surface of the bearing body) necessary for the positioning member to perform its function can be secured while suppressing the amount of deformation of the forming material in the circumferential direction of the body. That is, the first aspect of the present invention is defined as follows.
- a semi-cylindrical bearing body Formed on the mating surface of the bearing body by pressing a tool against a part of the outer peripheral side of the mating surface of the bearing body and deforming the forming material of the bearing main body together with a part of the outer peripheral side of the mating surface radially outward

- the forming material on the outer peripheral surface side of the bearing main body is plastically deformed so as to be close to the outer surface of the tool, in other words, to wrap around, so that it corresponds to the amount of wraparound. Deformation in the bearing body, particularly deformation in the circumferential direction is suppressed. Since the amount of protrusion from the outer peripheral surface of the bearing body can be increased by the material that wraps around the outer surface of the tool, the positioning function required for the positioning member can be ensured.
- the surface of the tool (first surface) that is in contact with the mating surface of the bearing body is a surface that is substantially perpendicular to the pressing direction and its width (relative to the radial direction of the bearing body).
- the outer surface of the tool ( The position of the tip of the second surface) on the first surface side coincides with the outer edge of the bearing body, or a range within ⁇ 30% of the width of the first surface when coincident with the outer edge It is assumed that there is a deviation in the radial direction from the outer edge of the bearing body.
- the position of the tip of the second surface shifts outward from the outer edge of the bearing body within 30% of the width of the first surface when it coincides with the outer edge (the width of the first surface matches the outer edge).
- the forming material of the bearing body easily turns around to the outer surface side of the tool.
- the deviation from the outer peripheral surface of the bearing body toward the central axis is within 30% of the width of the first surface when the position of the tip of the second surface coincides with the outer edge (the width of the first surface is the outer edge). Is shorter than the width of the first surface when it coincides with the first surface), since a sufficient amount of protrusion can be easily obtained in the protrusion.
- the included angle between the machining surface (first surface) and the outer surface (second surface) is a right angle or an obtuse angle in terms of the durability of the tool. It is desirable that the forming material of the bearing body does not come into contact with the outer surface (second surface) of the tool while the tool is being pressed in the direction perpendicular to the mating surface.

- the plastically deformed volume of the forming material of the back metal layer 12 is the stroke amount (dimension X) of the pressing tool and the width deformed by the pressing tool (dimension X) when the halved sliding bearing axial length of the pressing tool is a predetermined dimension.
- Dimension V the dimensions X and X ′ are the same. (That is, when the volume of the forming material of the back metal layer 12 to be plastically deformed is the same), the dimension Z of the present embodiment is smaller than the dimension Z ′ of the prior art.
- the component deformed in the circumferential direction in the molding material of the back metal layer 12 becomes smaller.
- the material for forming the back metal layer 12 can efficiently contribute to the formation of the protruding portion. Further, if the amount of deformation in the circumferential direction of the back metal layer 12 is reduced, the stress generated in the bearing body 13 is reduced, and the deformation can be prevented more reliably.
- FIG. 11 is a graph showing the relationship between the dimension X in the present embodiment (see FIG. 3) and the prior art (see FIG. 8) and the load when the pressing tools 33 and 33 ′ press the back metal layer 12.
- the load with which the pressing tool 33 presses the back metal layer 12 can be reduced in the present embodiment.
- the shape of the peripheral portion P of the protrusion 22 on the outer peripheral surface of the slide bearing 10 can be made difficult to collapse. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to improve the performance by smoothing the outer peripheral surface of the half slide bearing 10.
- the driving device (not shown) of the pressing tools 33 and 33 ′ becomes larger and the pressing tools 33 and 33 ′ have a larger size. There is a problem that the tool life is shortened.
- the drive device of the pressing tool 33 can be reduced in size, and the tool life of the pressing tool 33 can be reduced. Can be extended.
- the width of the recess 21 in the radial direction on the mating surface 14 a of the half slide bearing 10 is expressed as “dimension T”.
- the dimension T and the dimension V are equal.
- FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the relationship between the thickness U of the machining surface 33a of the pressing tool 33 and the dimensions V, Y, T, and the main part showing the vicinity of the positioning member 20 in the half slide bearing 10. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view.
- the thickness U and the dimension V are the same.
- the material of the back metal part 12 is more likely to wrap around the outer surface of the pressing tool 33. It is easier to give a sufficient amount of protrusion to the protrusion 22.
- the sliding layer 11 located behind the back wall portion 23 of the back metal layer 12 is not deformed, and the inner peripheral surface of the sliding layer 11 is generally smooth. That is, the inner peripheral surface of the bearing main body 13 located behind the positioning member 20 is smooth. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is difficult for oil to leak from the mating surface 14a of the half slide bearing 10, and therefore oil leakage is prevented. It can be reduced. Further, according to the present embodiment, oil cavitation hardly occurs on the inner peripheral surface of the sliding layer 11, and therefore, damage to the inner peripheral surface of the sliding layer 11 can be reduced.
- a rectangular flat plate shaped pressing tool 33 is used to press the positioning member 20. Since the processed surface 33a, which is the tip portion of the pressing tool 33 that presses the back metal layer 12, is a flat shape having a thickness, it has high strength and is not easily damaged. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the productivity of the half slide bearing 10 is increased, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
- the positioning member 20 of the present embodiment as a locking member for preventing the half-slide bearing 10 from rotating in the circumferential direction.
- FIG. 13A is an explanatory diagram for explaining a processing method in the case where the positioning member 20 of the present embodiment is used as a locking member, and is a main part longitudinal section showing the vicinity of the positioning member 20 in the half slide bearing 10.
- FIG. 13B is a longitudinal sectional view of a main part for explaining a state where the half slide bearing 10 is assembled to the bearing housing 40 when the positioning member 20 of the present embodiment is used as a locking member.
- a fitting groove 41 is formed in the mating surface 40 a of the bearing housing 40.
- the half sliding bearing 50 that is paired with the half sliding bearing 10 is assembled to the bearing housing 60, and the mating surfaces of both the half sliding bearing 50 and the bearing housing 60 are flush with each other. Therefore, when the bearing housing 60 is assembled to the bearing housing 40, the mating surfaces of the half slide bearing 10 and the half slide bearing 50 are brought into close contact with each other, and the distal end portion of the protruding portion 22 of the positioning member 20 of the half slide bearing 10 is The positioning member 20 abuts on the mating surface of the bearing housing 60 and functions as a locking member. Therefore, the half slide bearing 10 is prevented from rotating in the circumferential direction with the rotation of the rotating shaft (not shown) inserted through each half slide bearing 10.
- the dimension W of the present embodiment is larger than the dimension W ′ of the prior art. Becomes smaller.
- FIG. 13A when the portion corresponding to the dimension W is cut and removed along the cutting line K, it is desirable that the smaller the dimension W, the smaller the amount of cutting and the easier the cutting process. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the dimension W is small compared to the prior art, so that the half sliding bearing 10 can be easily cut when the positioning member 20 is used as a locking member. Cost can be reduced.
- FIG. 14 is a longitudinal sectional view of a main part for explaining a state in which the half slide bearing 10 is assembled to the bearing housing 40 when the positioning member 20 of the present embodiment is used as a locking member.
- the pin 62 is inserted and fixed into the mounting hole 61 formed in the mating surface of the bearing housing 60 without cutting the half-slide bearing 10 as in the example shown in FIG.
- the positioning member 20 is caused to function as a locking member by bringing the tip portion of the pin 62 into contact with the tip portion of the protrusion 22 of the positioning member 20. Therefore, it is desirable that the dimension W is small because the height of the pin 62 can be reduced to reduce the component cost. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the dimension W is smaller than that of the prior art, so that when the positioning member 20 is used as the locking member, the pin 62 can be made smaller, so that the component cost can be reduced.
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be embodied as follows, and even in that case, operations and effects equivalent to or higher than those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

Abstract
Description
ここで、軸受ハウジングに対する半割すべり軸受の軸線方向の位置決めを容易にして位置決め機能を高めるためには、半割すべり軸受の外周面から半径方向外側への位置決め部材の突出量を、軸受ハウジングの嵌合溝の寸法に合わせて、可能な限り大きくすることが望ましい。
かかる構成の半割すべり軸受は次の様にして製造できる。
まず、半円筒形の軸受本体を準備する。この軸受本体の合わせ面(半割面)の外周側一部へ工具の平坦な加工面を当てつけ(図8参照)、これを押圧して合わせ面の外周側一部とともに軸受本体の外周面側の形成材料を塑性変形させる。その結果、軸受本体の形成材料は工具に沿って半径方向外側に展開する。
このようにして形成された位置決め部材の上面(工具当接面)は工具の加工面に沿った形状、即ち平坦面となる。
この発明に関連する文献として特許文献2及び特許文献3も参照されたい。
しかしながら、特許文献1に記載の方法で位置決め部材を形成すると、位置決め部材の突出量の増大に伴い軸受本体の形成材料の変形量も増大する。
その結果、軸受本体に予期せぬ変形が生じたりして軸受性能に悪影響を与えたり、また軸受本体の材料選択に制限が生じたりして半割すべり軸受の設計自由度を制限するおそれがあった。また特許文献3に記載の方法で位置決め部材を形成すると、工具にかかる応力増大に起因する工具の耐久性低下も懸念され、製造効率が低くなる。
即ちこの発明の第1の局面は次のように規定される。
半円筒形の軸受本体と、
該軸受本体の合わせ面の外周側一部へ工具を押圧して、前記合わせ面の外周側一部とともに前記軸受本体の形成材料を半径方向外側へ変形させることにより、軸受本体の合わせ面に形成される位置決め部材と、を備える半割すべり軸受の製造方法において、
前記合わせ面の外周側一部へ前記工具を押圧することにより前記軸受本体の形成材料を前記工具の外側面へ近接するように塑性変形させて前記位置決め部材を形成する、半割すべり軸受の製造方法。
第1の局面の製造方法によれば、軸受本体の外周面側の形成材料を工具の外側面へ近接するように、換言すれば回り込むように塑性変形させるので、当該回り込みの量に対応して軸受本体における変形、特に円周方向への変形が抑制される。
工具の外側面へ回り込んだ材料により、軸受本体の外周面からの突出量をかせげるので、位置決め部材に求められる位置決め機能も確保できる。
工具のより好ましい態様は加工面とそれに続く外側面の部分をそれぞれ平坦面として、両者を直交させる。さらには、加工面に続く内側面の部分も平坦面として両者を直交させることが好ましい。
半円筒形の軸受本体と、
該軸受本体の合わせ面に形成される位置決め部材と、を備える半割すべり軸受であって、
前記位置決め部材は前記合わせ面より前記軸受本体の略円周方向へ偏移した平坦部と該平坦部から半径方向外側へ突出した突出部とを備え、前記平坦部を含む仮想平面に対して前記突出部の先端が前記合わせ面側に位置している、半割すべり軸受。
このように規定される半割すべり軸受において、工具の外側面へ回り込んだ軸受本体の材料が突出部となり、かかる突出部は平坦部から上方(合わせ面側)へ屈折している。 そのため、軸受本体の円周方向における形成材料の変形量が抑制されつつ、位置決め部材の機能を奏するために必要な突出量が確保されている。
従って、半割すべり軸受をハウジングに確実に固定させ易く、また、耐疲労性等の軸受性能の向上に貢献している。また、ハウジングに形成する嵌合溝をより小さくすることも可能である。
このように突出部の先端側を合わせ面側へ偏移させることにより、合わせ面を含む平面と突出部の先端との距離が小さくなる。これにより、半割すべり軸受のハウジングへ覆うように組み付けられる相手側ハウジングへ干渉しやすくなり、相手側ハウジングの被干渉部材を小型化することができる。
[本実施形態の半割すべり軸受10の構成]
図1(A)は、半割すべり軸受10の要部上面図である。図1(B)は、半割すべり軸受10の側面図である。
図2は、半割すべり軸受10を軸線に対して直角に切断した縦断面図であり、図1に示すα-α線断面図である。
図3は、半割すべり軸受10における位置決め部材(位置決め爪)20の近傍を示す要部縦断面図である。
摺動層11は、すべり軸受に適した性質(例えば、低摩擦性、耐摩耗性、耐疲労性、非焼付き性、なじみ性など)を有する例えばAl合金やCu合金から成る。
裏金層12は、半割すべり軸受10の強度を高めるために設けられており、例えば鋼から成る。
本明細書では、直径が約40~80mmで、摺動層11と裏金層12とを合わせた肉厚が約1.5~3.0mmの半割すべり軸受10を例として採り上げた。
位置決め部材20は、凹部21および突出部22から構成され、裏金層12に形成されている。
凹部21の底面側には、平坦な底面部(平坦部)21aが形成されている。
凹部21と摺動層11の間の裏金層12には、略一定厚さの背壁部23が形成されている。すなわち、背壁部23は、凹部21と軸受本体13の内周面との間に形成されている。
背壁部23の背後に位置する摺動層11には変形が無く、摺動層11の内周面は全体的に平滑である。
突出部22の内面側には、僅かに膨らんだ略平坦形状の内面部22aが形成されている。
内面部22aは凹部21の平坦部21aに連続しており、内面部22aは平坦部21aに対して鋭角の傾斜角度θを成した傾斜面である。
この傾斜角度θは任意に設計可能であるが、10~50度とすることが好ましく、更に好ましくは20~40度である。
図4は、半割すべり軸受10における位置決め部材20の形成方法(製造方法、工法)を説明するための斜視図である。
図5は、位置決め部材20の形成方法を説明するための縦断面図であり、図4に示すβ-β線断面図である。
図6および図7は、位置決め部材20の形成過程を説明するための要部縦断面図である。
ダイス30は、内周面30a、上面30b,30c、成形凹部30dが形成されたブロック材である。
各固定具31a,31bは、同一寸法の矩形平板状のブロック材である。
固定具32は、矩形平板状のブロック材である。
押圧工具33は矩形平板状の金属製ブロック材であり、押圧工具33の底面側には、平坦形状の加工面(第1の面)33aが形成されている。
押圧工具33の外側面(第2の面)33bは平坦形状に形成され、加工面33aと外側面33bとは直交している。なお、外側面33bにおいて少なくとも加工面33aと連続する部分が平坦に形成されていればよい。外側面33bと加工面33aとの挟角(両者のなす角)は直角若しくは鈍角とすることが好ましい。押圧工具33に耐久性を付与するためである。
加工面33aと押圧工具33の内側面33cとの挟角は直角である。
ダイス30の上面30b,30cは平坦になっている。
そのため、半割すべり軸受10をダイス30の内周面30aにセットすると、軸受本体13の外周面は内周面30aに対して隙間無く密着した状態で支持される。
そして、ダイス30の上面30bに各固定具31a,31bを取付け固定することにより、各固定具31a,31bの下面側と、半割すべり軸受10の合わせ面14aとを当接させる。
また、ダイス30の上面30cに固定具32を取付け固定することにより、固定具32の下面側と、半割すべり軸受10の合わせ面14bとを当接させる。
その結果、ダイス30の内周面30aと各固定具31a,31b,32とにより、ダイス30に対して半割すべり軸受10が挟持されて固定される。
そこで、各固定具31a,31bは、ダイス30の成形凹部30dを避ける位置で、且つ、半割すべり軸受10の合わせ面14aにおける位置決め部材20が形成される箇所を避ける位置に取付け固定する。
その結果、各固定具31a,31bの間から、成形凹部30dと、半割すべり軸受10の合わせ面14aにおける位置決め部材20が形成される箇所とが露出される。
このとき、裏金層12において、押圧工具33の加工面33aに当接している部分(外周側一部)が凹部21の平坦部21aとなり、押圧工具33の内側面33cと当接している部分が背壁部23となり、それぞれ押圧工具33の各面33a、33cの形状に沿ったものとなる。
他方、押圧工具33との接触がなくなった部分、即ち裏金層12の形成材料において押圧工具33の押圧に伴い半径方向外側へはみ出した部分は、図6(B)、(C)に示すように、押圧工具33の外側面33b側へ巻き込まれてくる。
つまり、寸法Yは、ダイス30の成形凹部30dの垂直内周面と、平坦部21aと突出部22との接続箇所との距離によって規定される。
位置決め部材20が完成すると、傾斜角度θは、0より大きく60度以下になる(0<θ≦60度)。
また、加工面の幅の異なる複数の押圧工具を用いて突出部の形状を整えることができる。例えば、押圧工具による押圧量(図で上下方向の移動量)が所定の長さを超えたときに押圧工具をより幅広のものに交換することができる。
押圧工具において加工面33aと外側面33bとの交差部分を面トリ(曲面、若しくは平面)することも可能である。面トリすることにより、押圧工具の耐久性が向上する。
図8は、特許文献1に記載の従来技術の半割すべり軸受10’における位置決め部材20’の近傍を示す要部縦断面図である。
尚、説明を分かり易くするため、図8に示す従来技術において、図1~図7に示す本実施形態と同一の構成部材および構成要素については、符号を等しくすると共に、符号の末尾に「’」を付してある。
尚、図3に示す本実施形態では、押圧工具33の加工面33aの厚みUと寸法Vとが同じになる。
本実施形態によれば、以下の作用・効果を得ることができる。
実施例品1と比較例品1(図8の方法で形成したもの)とを比較すると、寸法X,X’は同等であるにも関わらず、寸法Y,Y’を寸法Z,Z’で除算したY/Z,Y’/Z’値が、実施例品1は0.21、比較例品1は0.19であるため、従来技術に比べて本実施形態では11%も大きくすることができる。
従来技術に比べて本実施形態では、寸法Z,Z’に対する寸法Y,Y’(Y/Z,Y’/Z’値)を大きくすることができる。
そこで、軸受ハウジングの嵌合溝を小さくするためには、寸法Z,Z’(半割すべり軸受10の円周方向への突出部22の長さ)を、突出部22の強度を十分に確保した上で、可能な限り小さくすることが望ましい。
また、寸法Z、Z’が大きくなると軸受本体の形成材料自体の変形量が大きくなるので、工具により大きな荷重が要求されるとともに軸受本体の形状に歪が生じる可能性も大きくなる。
図9および図10より、従来技術に比べて本実施形態では、Y/Z値が大きくなることがわかる。
好ましいY/Z値は0.2以上であり、更に好ましくは0.25以上である。Y/Zの上限は位置決め部材に要求される強度等に応じて任意に定めることができる。
これはまた、本実施形態によれば、裏金層12の肉厚が薄い場合でも、位置決め部材20の位置決め機能を高めることが可能になることを意味する。
また、本実施形態によれば、軸受ハウジングの嵌合溝を小さくして、軸受ハウジングの製造コストを低減させると共に剛性を高めることが可能になる。
また、裏金層12においてその円周方向への変形量が小さくなれば、軸受本体13に発生する応力が小さくなり、その変形をより確実に防止できる。
押圧工具33,33’が裏金層12,12’を押圧する荷重が大きくなると、半割すべり軸受10に予期せぬ変形が生じるおそれがあるが、特に、図1(B)に示すように、半割すべり軸受10の外周面における突出部22の周辺部分Pに塑性変形が生じて形状が崩れ易くなる。
半割すべり軸受10の形状が崩れると、例えば軸受ハウジングに対して半割すべり軸受10を正常に組み付けることができなくなるおそれがある。
そのため、押圧工具33,33’が裏金層12,12’を押圧する荷重は、可能な限り小さくすることが望ましい。
従って、本実施形態によれば、半割すべり軸受10の外周面を平滑にして高性能化を図ることができる。
また、押圧工具33,33’が裏金層12,12’を押圧する荷重が大きくなると、押圧工具33,33’の駆動装置(図示略)が大型化する上に、押圧工具33,33’の工具寿命が短くなるという問題がある。
本実施形態によれば、押圧工具33が裏金層12を押圧する荷重を小さくすることが可能であるため、押圧工具33の駆動装置を小型化することができる上に、押圧工具33の工具寿命を延長することができる。
図1~図7に示す本実施形態では、寸法Tと寸法V(半割すべり軸受10の半径方向における凹部21の平坦部21aの幅)が等しくなっている。
尚、厚みUと寸法Vとは同じになる。
図12(A)は、寸法Tに対して寸法U(=V)が30%だけ小さい場合を示す。
図12(B)は、図1~図7に示すのと同じく、寸法U(=V)と寸法Tが等しい場合を示す。
図12(C)は、寸法Tに対して寸法U(=V)が30%だけ大きい場合を示す。
すなわち、位置決め部材20の背後に位置する軸受本体13の内周面は平滑である
従って、本実施形態によれば、半割すべり軸受10の合わせ面14aからオイルが漏れ出し難いため、オイルリークを少なくすることが可能である。
また、本実施形態によれば、摺動層11の内周面にオイルのキャビテーションが発生し難いため、摺動層11の内周面の損傷を少なくすることが可能である。
裏金層12を押圧する押圧工具33の先端部分である加工面33aは、厚みを有した平坦形状であるため、強度が高く破損し難い。
従って、本実施形態によれば、半割すべり軸受10の生産性が高くなり製造コストを低減することが可能である。
そこで、本実施形態の位置決め部材20を、半割すべり軸受10の円周方向への回転を防止するための係止部材として用いることが考えられる。
裏金層12の背壁部23および摺動層11において、寸法Wに対応する部分を切断線Kに沿って切削除去する。
すると、元々の合わせ面14aは除去され、切断線Kに沿った新たな合わせ面14cが形成される。
図13(B)は、本実施形態の位置決め部材20を係止部材として用いる場合に、半割すべり軸受10を軸受ハウジング40に組み付けた状態を説明するための要部縦断面図である。
軸受ハウジング40の合わせ面40aには、嵌合溝41が形成されている。
半割すべり軸受10を軸受ハウジング40に組み付ける際には、嵌合溝41に位置決め部材20を嵌合させることにより、軸受ハウジング40に対する半割すべり軸受10の位置決めを行う。
このとき、半割すべり軸受10には切断線Kに沿った合わせ面14cが形成されているため、半割すべり軸受10の合わせ面14cと軸受ハウジング40の合わせ面40aとは同一平面状に位置することになる。
そのため、軸受ハウジング40に軸受ハウジング60を組み付けると、半割すべり軸受10と半割すべり軸受50の合わせ面同士が密着すると共に、半割すべり軸受10の位置決め部材20の突出部22の先端部分が、軸受ハウジング60の合わせ面に当接し、位置決め部材20は係止部材として機能する。
従って、各半割すべり軸受10に挿通された回転軸(図示略)の回転に伴い、半割すべり軸受10が円周方向に連れ回るのが防止される。
図13(A)に示すように、寸法Wに対応する部分を切断線Kに沿って切削除去する際には、寸法Wが小さいほど切削量が少なくなり切削加工が容易になるため望ましい。
従って、従来技術に比べて本実施形態では、寸法Wが小さいため、位置決め部材20を係止部材として用いる場合における半割すべり軸受10の切削加工が容易になることから、生産性が高くなり製造コストを低減することができる。
図14に示す例では、図13に示す例のように半割すべり軸受10を切削加工せず、軸受ハウジング60の合わせ面に穿設した取付穴61に対して、ピン62を挿入固定し、ピン62の先端部分と位置決め部材20の突出部22の先端部分とを当接させることにより、位置決め部材20を係止部材として機能させている。
そのため、寸法Wが小さいほど、ピン62の高さ寸法を小さくして部品コストを低減できるため望ましい。
従って、従来技術に比べて本実施形態では、寸法Wが小さいため、位置決め部材20を係止部材として用いる場合に、ピン62がより小型で済むことから部品コストの低減が可能になり、図14に示す軸受機構全体のコストも低減できる。
本発明は前記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、以下のように具体化してもよく、その場合でも、前記実施形態と同等もしくはそれ以上の作用・効果を得ることができる。
前記実施形態の半割すべり軸受10は二層構造であるが、裏金層12を省いた一層構造(ソリッドタイプ)にしてもよく、その場合には、摺動層11となる部材に位置決め部材20を形成することになる。
また、半割すべり軸受10は、二層構造に加えてオーバーレイを施した三層構造(トリメタルタイプ)にしてもよく、更には四層構造以上の多層構造にしてもよい。
