  • Patent number: 8058216
    Abstract: The present invention provides a grease composition capable of securely preventing an abnormal noise from being generated when it is cold and having a long life at a high temperature, and a rolling bearing in which this grease is enclosed. The grease composition having heat-resistant properties and performance of preventing the generation of a low-temperature abnormal noise contains a base oil, a thickener, and an additive, and is used for a rolling bearing. A worked penetration of the grease composition at 25° C. is 300 or less, and an unworked penetration thereof at ?20° C. is 200 or more. The grease-enclosed rolling bearing has an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and the above-described grease composition enclosed on a periphery of the rolling elements. The grease-enclosed rolling bearing is used for an automotive electric auxiliary machine.

  • Patent number: 8048835
    Abstract: The present invention provides a grease composition capable of securely preventing generation of a low-temperature abnormal noise when it is cold and a grease-enclosed bearing. A grease composition comprises a base oil and a thickener, wherein the base oil has a pour point not more than ?50° C. and a kinematic viscosity not less than 15 mm2/s at 40° C. The base oil is at least one oil selected from a PAO oil and a perfluoro ether oil. The thickener is at least one substance selected from a urea compound and a fluororesin. A mixing consistency of the grease composition is in the range of 250 to 350. A grease-enclosed bearing has an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and a grease composition enclosed on a periphery of the rolling elements.

  • Patent number: 8049452
    Abstract: A control method can stop motor operation reliably when a mirror rotator is mechanically locked at a driven end of the mirror rotator. The control method operates a motor 18 according to battery voltage. The motor 18 is operated with an operating time set and is stopped after a lapse of the set operating time, where the operating time is a time required for the motor 18 to drive the mirror rotator 14 from the retracted position or the working position to the working position or the retracted position at which the mirror rotator 14 is locked by a stopper. The control method detects the battery voltage, and decreases the set operating time of the motor 18 when the detected battery voltage is high or increases the set operating time of the motor 18 when the detected battery voltage is low.
