  • Patent number: 8430774
    Abstract: A sandwiched-molded part for a transmission apparatus has a slide rail body and a rail support body. A chain runs in slidable contact with the slide rail body. The molded part has a first resin forming a surface layer. The first resin has NYLON (66) as a main component. The melt viscosity of the first resin at a temperature of 300° C. is 500 Pa·s to 2000 Pa·s at a shear rate of 1000 s?1. A second resin forms a core layer of the molded part and has a bending strength higher than that of the first resin. The wall thickness of the surface layer of the sliding part of the slide rail body is 1.0 mm or more.

  • Publication number: 20080032836
    Abstract: A sandwich-molded part for a transmission device comprising a slide rail 11 on which a chain slides and a rail support 12, wherein a first resin forming a surface layer is formed of a material having nylon 66 as the principal component, and the melt viscosity of the first resin at 300° C. is 500 Pa·s or more and 2000 Pa·s or less at a shear rate of 1000s-1; a second resin forming a core layer has a bending strength higher than that of the first resin; and the surface layer on a sliding part 11a of the slide rail 11 has a thickness of 1.0 mm or more. Thus, the sandwich-molded part for a transmission device capable of effectively preventing endurance from lowering in practical use can be provided.
