How the SL185016-XL model number is decoded

envelope 80×125×60 mm with a 22.5 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 330 kN and C0 440 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.75 the 60 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 83 kN, the limiting speed 3,200 r/min and the thermal reference speed 2,320 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 4.13 kN per millimetre of the 80 mm bore and 5.50 kN per millimetre of the 60 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 2.59 kg (2590 g) (0.35 g per mm² of the 125×60 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 80 mm bore belongs to the large band, where HR1 full-complement and track-roller designs deliver their highest kilonewton ratings in slow, heavily loaded machinery At 2.59 kg (2590 g), this is a rigid machine element used in rolling stands, crane wheels, winches and planetary stages with tight envelope constraints As an X-life (-XL) bearing it benefits from the optimised surface finish that reduces friction and raises the fatigue strength behind the 83 kN Cur value. Typical applications include heavy industrial gearbox shafts, crane travelling-wheel mechanisms and vibrating and oscillating machinery, where the 125 mm outside diameter and 330 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In heavy industrial gearbox shafts the unit fits a compact 80 mm seat, and in crane travelling-wheel mechanisms the 2.59 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for vibrating and oscillating machinery, relying on the 60 mm width and the published 440 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. Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease.

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