How the SL182988-TB model number is decoded

envelope 440×600×95 mm with a 80.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 2090 kN and C0 4100 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.51 the 95 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 420 kN, the limiting speed 590 r/min and the thermal reference speed 325 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 4.75 kN per millimetre of the 440 mm bore and 22.00 kN per millimetre of the 95 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 78.1 kg (78100 g) (1.37 g per mm² of the 600×95 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 440 mm bore puts this execution at the top of the HR1 range — the 600 mm outside diameter, 95 mm width and 78.1 kg mass are built for primary-industry load cases SL182988-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 -TB feature concerns the rib contact, not the envelope: the 440×600×95 mm dimensions and 78.1 kg mass follow the standard series plan. Typical applications include crane travelling-wheel mechanisms, compact slow-speed agitator drives and heavy industrial gearbox shafts, where the 600 mm outside diameter and 2090 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In crane travelling-wheel mechanisms the unit fits a compact 440 mm seat, and in compact slow-speed agitator drives the 78.1 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for heavy industrial gearbox shafts, relying on the 95 mm width and the published 4100 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. 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

• 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.
• 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 split outer ring of SL0149 is joined by retaining rings for handling only; never use those rings as a thrust face in the design.
