How the SL183060-TB model number is decoded

envelope 300×460×118 mm with a 80.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 2020 kN and C0 3300 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.61 the 118 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 335 kN, the limiting speed 800 r/min and the thermal reference speed 500 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 6.73 kN per millimetre of the 300 mm bore and 17.12 kN per millimetre of the 118 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 66.6 kg (66600 g) (1.23 g per mm² of the 460×118 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 300 mm bore puts this execution at the top of the HR1 range — the 460 mm outside diameter, 118 mm width and 66.6 kg mass are built for primary-industry load cases High radial rigidity at 2020 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 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 The -TB suffix denotes the increased axial-load design: profiled roller ends and optimised rib contact geometry lower edge stress and friction at the guide ribs. Typical applications include heavy industrial gearbox shafts, crane travelling-wheel mechanisms and vibrating and oscillating machinery, where the 460 mm outside diameter and 2020 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In heavy industrial gearbox shafts the unit fits a compact 300 mm seat, and in crane travelling-wheel mechanisms the 66.6 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for vibrating and oscillating machinery, relying on the 118 mm width and the published 3300 kN static rating. Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease. The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease.
• The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.
• 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.
