How the SL182213-XL model number is decoded

envelope 65×120×31 mm with a 27.5 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 198 kN and C0 210 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.94 the 31 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 3,650 r/min and the thermal reference speed 2,480 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 3.05 kN per millimetre of the 65 mm bore and 6.39 kN per millimetre of the 31 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 1.57 kg (1570 g) (0.42 g per mm² of the 120×31 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads at 65 mm bore the 120 mm outside diameter and 31 mm width target rolling stands, construction machinery and heavy gearboxes; the limiting speed drops to 3,650 r/min SL182213-XL is a single-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing: no cage is fitted, so the maximum number of rollers runs between the rings, and the rollers guide themselves on the two inner-ring ribs The semi-locating function means this bearing locates the shaft in one axial direction and floats in the other — useful in two-bearing shafts where one position is fixed and the other absorbs expansion -XL means this is an X-life bearing — Schaeffler's upgraded performance level with smoother raceways, so the 198 kN C rating and longer nominal life come without an envelope change. Typical applications include construction machinery slewing drives, material handling conveyor pulleys and planetary gear bearing positions, where the 120 mm outside diameter and 198 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In construction machinery slewing drives the unit fits a compact 65 mm seat, and in material handling conveyor pulleys the 1.57 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for planetary gear bearing positions, relying on the 31 mm width and the published 210 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.

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.
