How the SL024960 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 51.9 kg (51900 g) (1.05 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 51.9 kg mass are built for primary-industry load cases The non-locating structure has two inner rings with side ribs and a plain outer ring joined by retaining rings for handling; axial displacement of shaft relative to housing occurs inside the bearing without constraint Reading SL0249: the DIN 5412-9 type code family NNCL49 — double row, no cage, flangeless outer ring; the open design is relubricated through groove and holes in the outer ring Typical applications include rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps and material handling conveyor pulleys, where the 420 mm outside diameter and 1630 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In rolling-mill and steel-industry drives the unit fits a compact 300 mm seat, and in hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps the 51.9 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for material handling conveyor pulleys, 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. The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.

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.
• The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.
• The split outer ring of SL0149 is joined by retaining rings for handling only; never use those rings as a thrust face in the design.
