Housing for fluid lubrication bearing apparatuses

摘要

A housing for a fluid lubrication bearing apparatus is formed of a resin composition containing polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) as a base resin. The ratio of the base resin to the resin composition is not lower than 40 vol % but not higher than 70 vol %. Moreover, in the composition, an epoxy compound having two or more epoxy groups per molecule of the compound and epoxy value of 0.5 meq/g or more to the resin composition may be added so that the amount of epoxy groups in the resin composition is 8 meq/100 g or more. A carbon fiber may also be added to the resin composition in an amount of not less than 10 vol % but not more than 35 vol %. An inorganic compound may be further added to the resin composition to be the remainder of the resin composition.
