- the small-sized spindle motor uses a hydrodynamic bearing assembly.
- Lubricating oil is interposed between a shaft and a sleeve of the hydrodynamic bearing assembly, such that the shaft is supported by fluid pressure generated in the lubricating oil.
- the lubricating oil has high viscosity at low temperatures at the time of rotation of the spindle motor, such that viscous resistance of the lubricating oil to a dynamic power generating groove generated at the time of the rotation of the motor increases, thereby increasing power loss of the motor.
- the lubricating oil is thermally expanded and has reduced viscosity at high temperatures at the time of rotation of the spindle motor, such that it may not sufficiently perform a support role.
- the lubricating oil requires opposed viscosity behavior characteristics in which low viscosity is maintained in a low temperature region and viscosity is not reduced in a high temperature region.
- the lubricating oil to which the above-mentioned additives are added indicates an effect at the beginning. However, when it is used for a long period of time, the lubricant is evaporated and viscous characteristics are changed, such that it is difficult to continuously maintain this effect.

Description
- This application claims the priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0032942 filed on Mar. 27, 2013, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition for a hydrodynamic bearing capable of decreasing a lubricating oil evaporation rate in order to increase a lifespan of a hydrodynamic bearing motor, and a hard disk drive (HDD) motor using the same.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A hard disk drive (HDD), an information storage device, reads data stored on a disk or writes data to a disk using a read/write head.
- The hard disk drive requires a disk driving device capable of driving the disk. In the disk driving device, a small-sized spindle motor is used.
- The small-sized spindle motor uses a hydrodynamic bearing assembly. Lubricating oil is interposed between a shaft and a sleeve of the hydrodynamic bearing assembly, such that the shaft is supported by fluid pressure generated in the lubricating oil.
- The lubricating oil has high viscosity at low temperatures at the time of rotation of the spindle motor, such that viscous resistance of the lubricating oil to a dynamic power generating groove generated at the time of the rotation of the motor increases, thereby increasing power loss of the motor.
- On the other hand, the lubricating oil is thermally expanded and has reduced viscosity at high temperatures at the time of rotation of the spindle motor, such that it may not sufficiently perform a support role.
- Due to the above-mentioned reason, the lubricating oil requires opposed viscosity behavior characteristics in which low viscosity is maintained in a low temperature region and viscosity is not reduced in a high temperature region.
- In order to satisfy these viscosity characteristics, several technologies such as a technology of adding a material such as an anti-oxidant, an extreme-pressure additive, or the like, to base oil containing a specific ester compound as a main component, have been developed.
- The lubricating oil to which the above-mentioned additives are added indicates an effect at the beginning. However, when it is used for a long period of time, the lubricant is evaporated and viscous characteristics are changed, such that it is difficult to continuously maintain this effect.
- In addition, in accordance with the trend for miniaturization, high precision, high speed rotation, and low power consumption of the motor, characteristics such as heat resistance, oxidation stability, low degrees of evaporation, and abrasion prevention have been demanded in the lubricating oil.
- Meanwhile, in order to increase a lifespan of a hydrodynamic bearing motor, it is important to maintain a uniform amount of the lubricating oil therein. Therefore, research into a technology of decreasing a lubricating oil evaporation rate has been demanded.

- Hereinafter, the above configuration will be described in detail.
- The lubricating oil composition for a hydrodynamic bearing may contain 95 to 99 wt % of an ester-based base oil.

- More specifically, the ester-based base oil may be at least one selected from a group consisting of dioctyl adipate (DOA), heptylnonyl adipate, 3-methyl-1,5-pentandiol(dinonanoate), and neopentylglycol ester, but is not limited thereto.
- Meanwhile, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the lubricating oil composition for a hydrodynamic bearing may contain 1.0 to 5.0 wt % of the mixed oil containing at least two kinds of ester-based oils different from the ester-based base oil.
- The mixed oil containing at least two kinds of ester-based oils different from the ester-based base oil, ester-based mixed oil added to the ester-based base oil, may be different from the ester-based base oil.
- Particularly, the mixed oil containing at least two kinds of ester-based oils different from the ester-based base oil may be considered as being added in order to decrease an evaporation rate in lubricating oil for the hydrodynamic bearing used in a hard disk drive (HDD) motor.
- That is, the mixed oil containing at least two kinds of ester-based oils different from the ester-based base oil may have a low evaporation rate at a high temperature and a high viscosity due to its large molecular weight, as compared to the base oil.
- According to the embodiment of the present invention, the lubricating oil composition for a hydrodynamic bearing may contain 1.0 to 5.0 wt % of the mixed oil containing at least two kinds of ester-based oils different from the ester-based base oil, thereby decreasing the evaporation amount while significantly decreasing a change in physical properties of the lubricating oil composition.
- Therefore, the lubricating oil composition for a hydrodynamic bearing may have a low viscosity and a small evaporation loss, and oxidation stability thereof may be improved, at a room temperature.
- The hard disk drive (HDD) motor is manufactured using the lubricating oil composition for a hydrodynamic bearing, such that impact resistance and low-temperature operation stability of the hydrodynamic bearing motor may be improved, and a lifespan thereof may be increased.
- In the case in which the lubricating oil composition for a hydrodynamic bearing contains the mixed oil containing at least two kinds of ester-based oils different from the ester-based base oil in a content lower than 1.0 wt %, there may be no effect of decreasing an evaporation amount at a high temperature.

- In the case in which the additive is added in an amount lower than 0.01 part by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the base oil, an amount of the additive is small, such that an effect caused by the additive may not be sufficiently exhibited.
- Further, in the case in which the additive is added in an amount higher than 3.00 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the base oil, the physical properties of the lubricating oil for a hydrodynamic bearing may be deteriorated.
- The lubricating oil composition for a hydrodynamic bearing is not particularly limited, but may be appropriate for being used as, for example, a fluid bearing of the HDD motor.
- In the case of a small-sized hard disk drive, a power consumption amount needs to be low, and low-temperature operation stability and the impact resistance of the motor may be significant.

TABLE 2 High-temperature evaporation amount (%) Base oil Base oil (97 wt %) + Decrease Base oil (100 wt %) mixed oil (3 wt %) rate (%) Dioctyl 13.22 6.96 47.4 Adipate Heptylnonyl 8.45 4.79 43.3 Adipate 3-Methyl-1,5- 4.78 2.56 46.4 Pentandiol, dinonanoate Neopentylglycol 12.89 7.12 44.8 ester - Referring to
FIG. 2 , it may be appreciated that in the case in which 97 wt % of the base oil and 3 wt % of the mixed oil, which was the lubricating oil composition in Example 5, were used, the effect of decreasing the high-temperature evaporation amount was increased by 40% or more as compared to the case of using 100 wt % of each base oil. - That is, according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the mixed oil was added in an amount of 5 wt % or less, the effect of decreasing the high-temperature evaporation amount may be excellent without changing the physical properties of the lubricating oil, and the lifespan of the motor to which the lubricating oil is applied may be increased.
- As set forth above, according to the present invention, the hard disk drive (HDD) motor is manufactured using the lubricating oil composition for a hydrodynamic bearing having a low viscosity, a small evaporation loss, and improved oxidation stability at a room temperature, whereby the impact resistance and low-temperature operation stability of the hydrodynamic bearing motor may be improved, and the lifespan thereof may be increased.
- While the present invention has been shown and described in connection with the embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
