How the SL183007-XL model number is decoded

envelope 35×62×20 mm with a 13.5 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 55 kN and C0 53 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 1.04 the 20 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 9.6 kN, the limiting speed 7,100 r/min and the thermal reference speed 4,950 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 1.57 kN per millimetre of the 35 mm bore and 2.75 kN per millimetre of the 20 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 260 g (0.21 g per mm² of the 62×20 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads at 35 mm bore this is a mainstream industrial size — conveyor drives, winches and medium gearboxes use the 20 mm width as a standard mounting space The dimension-series digits place this bearing in the SL18 section of the HR1 plan, giving the 13.5 mm section height between the 35 mm bore and the 62 mm outside diameter 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 As an X-life (-XL) bearing it benefits from the optimised surface finish that reduces friction and raises the fatigue strength behind the 9.6 kN Cur value. Typical applications include rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps and material handling conveyor pulleys, where the 62 mm outside diameter and 55 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In rolling-mill and steel-industry drives the unit fits a compact 35 mm seat, and in hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps the 260 g mass suits the compact, space-optimised housing. Designers also specify it for material handling conveyor pulleys, relying on the 20 mm width and the published 53 kN static rating. 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. C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film.

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

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