How the SL014960 model number is decoded

envelope 300×420×118 mm with a 60.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 1630 kN and C0 3700 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.44 the 118 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 410 kN, the limiting speed 870 r/min and the thermal reference speed 445 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 5.43 kN per millimetre of the 300 mm bore and 13.81 kN per millimetre of the 118 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 53 kg (53000 g) (1.07 g per mm² of the 420×118 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 300 mm bore puts this execution at the top of the HR1 range — the 420 mm outside diameter, 118 mm width and 53 kg mass are built for primary-industry load cases SL0149 is the double-row full-complement locating bearing: it supports the radial load and axial loads in both directions, fixing the shaft axially at that position Inside the 300×420×118 mm envelope the two cageless rows provide C0 3700 kN, the capacity this series is selected for in heavy gearbox and drum positions Typical applications include hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps, marine and offshore winch arrangements and rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, where the 420 mm outside diameter and 1630 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps the unit fits a compact 300 mm seat, and in marine and offshore winch arrangements the 53 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, relying on the 118 mm width and the published 3700 kN static rating. Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease. There is no cage: do not apply caged-bearing speed rules — the printed limiting speed is a hard kinematic ceiling set by roller-to-roller contact.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease.
• There is no cage: do not apply caged-bearing speed rules — the printed limiting speed is a hard kinematic ceiling set by roller-to-roller contact.
• Use the rib structure correctly: SL18/SL1850 give one-direction axial guidance, SL0149 locates both ways and SL0249 floats — pairing two locating bearings on one shaft binds thermal growth.
