How the SL182932-XL model number is decoded

envelope 160×220×36 mm with a 30.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 350 kN and C0 510 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.69 the 36 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 82 kN, the limiting speed 1,680 r/min and the thermal reference speed 1,270 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 2.19 kN per millimetre of the 160 mm bore and 9.72 kN per millimetre of the 36 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 4 kg (4000 g) (0.51 g per mm² of the 220×36 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads 160 mm bore, 220 mm outside diameter: at this size the 510 kN C0 rating and rigid full-complement pack replace multi-bearing arrangements in compact heavy-duty designs In the 220 mm envelope the cageless pack raises C0 to 510 kN; the trade is the 1,680 r/min limiting speed, set by roller-to-roller sliding rather than by a cage 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 The -XL suffix is the Schaeffler X-life mark: interchangeable envelope with the basic bearing, but higher load capacity and lower running temperature at the 1,680 r/min limit. Typical applications include crane travelling-wheel mechanisms, compact slow-speed agitator drives and heavy industrial gearbox shafts, where the 220 mm outside diameter and 350 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In crane travelling-wheel mechanisms the unit fits a compact 160 mm seat, and in compact slow-speed agitator drives the 4 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for heavy industrial gearbox shafts, relying on the 36 mm width and the published 510 kN static rating. The split outer ring of SL0149 is joined by retaining rings for handling only; never use those rings as a thrust face in the design. 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 split outer ring of SL0149 is joined by retaining rings for handling only; never use those rings as a thrust face in the design.
• 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.
• C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film.
