How the SL014918 model number is decoded
envelope 90×125×35 mm with a 17.5 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 153 kN and C0 290 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.53 the 35 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 39.5 kN, the limiting speed 3,050 r/min and the thermal reference speed 1,870 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 1.70 kN per millimetre of the 90 mm bore and 4.37 kN per millimetre of the 35 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 1.35 kg (1350 g) (0.31 g per mm² of the 125×35 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 90 mm bore belongs to the large band, where HR1 full-complement and track-roller designs deliver their highest kilonewton ratings in slow, heavily loaded machinery The outer ring carries an annular lubrication groove and holes, so the 153 kN dynamic rating can be maintained with relubrication without dismounting the 1.35 kg unit Typical applications include hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps, marine and offshore winch arrangements and rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, where the 125 mm outside diameter and 153 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps the unit fits a compact 90 mm seat, and in marine and offshore winch arrangements the 1.35 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, relying on the 35 mm width and the published 290 kN static rating. Press-fit the correct ring: the rotating ring needs interference while the floating ring must slide on its seat to perform the non-locating function. C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- material handling conveyor pulleys
- rope drums and winch drums
- construction machinery slewing drives
- planetary gear bearing positions
Known failure patterns
- raceway pitting from overloaded slow-speed positions where the cageless rollers repeatedly stress one contact band
- rib and roller-end scoring when applied axial thrust exceeds the semi-locating capacity
- roller smearing from roller-to-roller sliding at speeds above the limiting value
- edge loading and premature spalling caused by undetected shaft/housing misalignment (full-complement rows cannot self-align)
- brinelling of the raceways from static shock during mounting or transport of the heavy rotor
- lubricant starvation in the tightly packed roller set, especially in the double-row executions
- freting and creep on a loose ring seat under a rotating load
- contamination wear in open gearbox positions with damaged seals or breathers
- false brinelling from micro-movement while the shaft is stationary under vibration
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Press-fit the correct ring: the rotating ring needs interference while the floating ring must slide on its seat to perform the non-locating function.
- C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film.
- The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the SL014918?
The SL014918 is a SL0149 double-row full-complement locating cylindrical roller bearing with 125 mm outside diameter, 90 mm bore and 35 mm width, envelope 90×125×35 mm. Mass is 1.35 kg.
What does the SL014918 designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?
SL014918 identifies this SL0149 double-row full-complement locating cylindrical roller bearing in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 90×125×35 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 153 kN, C0 290 kN, Cur 39.5 kN.
What is the load capacity of the SL014918?
The basic dynamic load rating C is 153 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 290 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 39.5 kN.
What is the maximum speed of the SL014918?
The limiting speed is 3,050 r/min and the thermal reference speed is 1,870 r/min. In the Schaeffler catalogue the reference speed is the thermally permissible running speed under defined load; the lower of the two values governs each application.
What is the locating function of the SL014918?
The SL0149 is a locating bearing: it fixes the shaft axially in both directions; pair it with a non-locating SL0249 at the other end to avoid binding.
