How the SL182228 model number is decoded
envelope 140×250×68 mm with a 55.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 720 kN and C0 1000 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.72 the 68 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 134 kN, the limiting speed 1,660 r/min and the thermal reference speed 1,230 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 5.14 kN per millimetre of the 140 mm bore and 10.59 kN per millimetre of the 68 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 14.47 kg (14470 g) (0.85 g per mm² of the 250×68 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 140 mm bore puts this execution at the top of the HR1 range — the 250 mm outside diameter, 68 mm width and 14.47 kg mass are built for primary-industry load cases Reading the designation: SL18 marks the Schaeffler full-complement semi-locating type with one rib on the outer ring and two ribs on the inner ring; the rollers are axially guided by the inner ring while the outer ring can displace by the catalogue s-value Typical applications include material handling conveyor pulleys, rolling-mill and steel-industry drives and construction machinery slewing drives, where the 250 mm outside diameter and 720 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In material handling conveyor pulleys the unit fits a compact 140 mm seat, and in rolling-mill and steel-industry drives the 14.47 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for construction machinery slewing drives, relying on the 68 mm width and the published 1000 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. The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.
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.
- The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the SL182228?
The SL182228 is a SL1822 single-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing with 250 mm outside diameter, 140 mm bore and 68 mm width, envelope 140×250×68 mm. Mass is 14.47 kg.
What does the SL182228 designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?
SL182228 identifies this SL1822 single-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 140×250×68 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 720 kN, C0 1000 kN, Cur 134 kN.
What is the load capacity of the SL182228?
The basic dynamic load rating C is 720 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 1000 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 134 kN.
What is the maximum speed of the SL182228?
The limiting speed is 1,660 r/min and the thermal reference speed is 1,230 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 SL182228?
This is a semi-locating bearing: one rib on the outer ring and two on the inner ring guide the shaft axially in one direction, while the other direction is free for thermal expansion.
