How the SL182232 model number is decoded

envelope 160×290×80 mm with a 65.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 1020 kN and C0 1470 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.69 the 80 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 187 kN, the limiting speed 1,370 r/min and the thermal reference speed 920 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 6.38 kN per millimetre of the 160 mm bore and 12.75 kN per millimetre of the 80 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 23 kg (23000 g) (0.99 g per mm² of the 290×80 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads at 160 mm bore this is among the largest catalogue sizes; the 1,370 r/min limiting speed confirms a slow-speed, extreme-load application such as a slewing or rolling-mill position 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 High radial rigidity at 1020 kN C is the point of this design: rib-guided rollers in a cageless pack resist deflection in planetary gears, rope drums and vibrating machinery Typical applications include material handling conveyor pulleys, rolling-mill and steel-industry drives and construction machinery slewing drives, where the 290 mm outside diameter and 1020 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In material handling conveyor pulleys the unit fits a compact 160 mm seat, and in rolling-mill and steel-industry drives the 23 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for construction machinery slewing drives, relying on the 80 mm width and the published 1470 kN static rating. The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling. 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.

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.
• 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.
