How the SL024968 model number is decoded

envelope 340×460×118 mm with a 60.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 1750 kN and C0 4250 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.41 the 118 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 450 kN, the limiting speed 770 r/min and the thermal reference speed 375 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 5.15 kN per millimetre of the 340 mm bore and 14.83 kN per millimetre of the 118 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 57.8 kg (57800 g) (1.06 g per mm² of the 460×118 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads 340 mm bore, 460 mm outside diameter: at this size the 4250 kN C0 rating and rigid full-complement pack replace multi-bearing arrangements in compact heavy-duty designs At 340 mm bore and 57.8 kg, the SL0249 is specified in rolling-mill gearboxes, travelling mechanisms and construction machinery where thermal shaft growth must not induce thrust The cageless double pack is speed-limited to 770 r/min (reference 375 r/min) but accepts purely radial loads with the rigidity required in heavy industrial gearboxes Typical applications include planetary gear bearing positions, construction machinery slewing drives and compact slow-speed agitator drives, where the 460 mm outside diameter and 1750 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In planetary gear bearing positions the unit fits a compact 340 mm seat, and in construction machinery slewing drives the 57.8 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for compact slow-speed agitator drives, relying on the 118 mm width and the published 4250 kN static rating. 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. Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease.

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• 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.
• Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease.
• 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.
