How the SL183040 model number is decoded

envelope 200×310×82 mm with a 55.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 950 kN and C0 1510 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.63 the 82 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 187 kN, the limiting speed 1,230 r/min and the thermal reference speed 890 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 200 mm bore and 11.59 kN per millimetre of the 82 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 21.8 kg (21800 g) (0.86 g per mm² of the 310×82 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 200 mm bore puts this execution at the top of the HR1 range — the 310 mm outside diameter, 82 mm width and 21.8 kg mass are built for primary-industry load cases High radial rigidity at 950 kN C is the point of this design: rib-guided rollers in a cageless pack resist deflection in planetary gears, rope drums and vibrating machinery SL18 bearings are separable for mounting: the inner ring with the self-retained roller set can be fitted separately from the plain-bored outer ring, which simplifies interference-fit assembly Typical applications include hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps, marine and offshore winch arrangements and rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, where the 310 mm outside diameter and 950 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps the unit fits a compact 200 mm seat, and in marine and offshore winch arrangements the 21.8 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, relying on the 82 mm width and the published 1510 kN static rating. 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. Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • marine and offshore winch arrangements
  • crane travelling-wheel mechanisms
  • hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps
  • rolling-mill and steel-industry drives

Known failure patterns

  • raceway pitting from overloaded slow-speed positions where the cageless rollers repeatedly stress one contact band
  • rib and roller-end scoring when applied axial thrust exceeds the semi-locating capacity
  • roller smearing from roller-to-roller sliding at speeds above the limiting value
  • edge loading and premature spalling caused by undetected shaft/housing misalignment (full-complement rows cannot self-align)
  • brinelling of the raceways from static shock during mounting or transport of the heavy rotor
  • lubricant starvation in the tightly packed roller set, especially in the double-row executions
  • freting and creep on a loose ring seat under a rotating load
  • contamination wear in open gearbox positions with damaged seals or breathers
  • false brinelling from micro-movement while the shaft is stationary under vibration

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • 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.
  • Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease.
  • 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.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the SL183040?

The SL183040 is a SL1830 single-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing with 310 mm outside diameter, 200 mm bore and 82 mm width, envelope 200×310×82 mm. Mass is 21.8 kg.

What does the SL183040 designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?

SL183040 identifies this SL1830 single-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 200×310×82 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 950 kN, C0 1510 kN, Cur 187 kN.

What is the load capacity of the SL183040?

The basic dynamic load rating C is 950 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 1510 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 187 kN.

What is the maximum speed of the SL183040?

The limiting speed is 1,230 r/min and the thermal reference speed is 890 r/min. In the Schaeffler catalogue the reference speed is the thermally permissible running speed under defined load; the lower of the two values governs each application.

What is the locating function of the SL183040?

This is a semi-locating bearing: one rib on the outer ring and two on the inner ring guide the shaft axially in one direction, while the other direction is free for thermal expansion.
