How the SL1829-500-TB model number is decoded

envelope 500×670×100 mm with a 85.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 2430 kN and C0 4950 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.49 the 100 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 490 kN, the limiting speed 520 r/min and the thermal reference speed 270 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 4.86 kN per millimetre of the 500 mm bore and 24.30 kN per millimetre of the 100 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 98.3 kg (98300 g) (1.47 g per mm² of the 670×100 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 500 mm bore puts this execution at the top of the HR1 range — the 670 mm outside diameter, 100 mm width and 98.3 kg mass are built for primary-industry load cases SL1829/500-TB 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 Reading -TB: Schaeffler's enhanced-rib design for full-complement bearings; axial friction torque is reduced while radial ratings stay at 2430 kN C. Typical applications include hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps, marine and offshore winch arrangements and rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, where the 670 mm outside diameter and 2430 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps the unit fits a compact 500 mm seat, and in marine and offshore winch arrangements the 98.3 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, relying on the 100 mm width and the published 4950 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.

Typical equipment & failure modes

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.
