How the SL183052-TB model number is decoded

envelope 260×400×104 mm with a 70.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 1600 kN and C0 2500 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.64 the 104 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 290 kN, the limiting speed 940 r/min and the thermal reference speed 620 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 6.15 kN per millimetre of the 260 mm bore and 15.38 kN per millimetre of the 104 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 44.5 kg (44500 g) (1.07 g per mm² of the 400×104 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 260 mm bore puts this execution at the top of the HR1 range — the 400 mm outside diameter, 104 mm width and 44.5 kg mass are built for primary-industry load cases The dimension-series digits place this bearing in the SL18 section of the HR1 plan, giving the 70.0 mm section height between the 260 mm bore and the 400 mm outside diameter 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 The -TB feature concerns the rib contact, not the envelope: the 260×400×104 mm dimensions and 44.5 kg mass follow the standard series plan. Typical applications include rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps and material handling conveyor pulleys, where the 400 mm outside diameter and 1600 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In rolling-mill and steel-industry drives the unit fits a compact 260 mm seat, and in hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps the 44.5 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for material handling conveyor pulleys, relying on the 104 mm width and the published 2500 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. C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • rope drums and winch drums
  • compact slow-speed agitator drives
  • marine and offshore winch arrangements
  • hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps

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

  • 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.
  • C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film.
  • 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 SL183052-TB?

The SL183052-TB is a SL1830 single-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing with 400 mm outside diameter, 260 mm bore and 104 mm width, envelope 260×400×104 mm. Mass is 44.5 kg.

What does the SL183052-TB designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?

SL183052-TB identifies this SL1830 single-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 260×400×104 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 1600 kN, C0 2500 kN, Cur 290 kN.

What is the load capacity of the SL183052-TB?

The basic dynamic load rating C is 1600 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 2500 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 290 kN.

What is the maximum speed of the SL183052-TB?

The limiting speed is 940 r/min and the thermal reference speed is 620 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 SL183052-TB?

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.
