How the SL182238 model number is decoded

envelope 190×340×92 mm with a 75.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 1300 kN and C0 1900 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.68 the 92 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 232 kN, the limiting speed 1,170 r/min and the thermal reference speed 770 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 6.84 kN per millimetre of the 190 mm bore and 14.13 kN per millimetre of the 92 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 35.65 kg (35650 g) (1.14 g per mm² of the 340×92 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads at 190 mm bore this is among the largest catalogue sizes; the 1,170 r/min limiting speed confirms a slow-speed, extreme-load application such as a slewing or rolling-mill position SL182238 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 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 heavy industrial gearbox shafts, crane travelling-wheel mechanisms and vibrating and oscillating machinery, where the 340 mm outside diameter and 1300 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In heavy industrial gearbox shafts the unit fits a compact 190 mm seat, and in crane travelling-wheel mechanisms the 35.65 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for vibrating and oscillating machinery, relying on the 92 mm width and the published 1900 kN static rating. C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film. 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

• C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film.
• 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.
• The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.
