How the SL185017 model number is decoded

envelope 85×130×60 mm with a 22.5 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 300 kN and C0 465 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.65 the 60 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 70 kN, the limiting speed 3,050 r/min and the thermal reference speed 2,210 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 3.53 kN per millimetre of the 85 mm bore and 5.00 kN per millimetre of the 60 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 2.72 kg (2720 g) (0.35 g per mm² of the 130×60 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads at 85 mm bore the 130 mm outside diameter and 60 mm width target rolling stands, construction machinery and heavy gearboxes; the limiting speed drops to 3,050 r/min Full-complement kinematics cap the speed at 3,050 r/min (reference 2,210 r/min); below that limit the double-row pack offers exceptional stiffness for its section Reading SL1850: dimension series 50, double row, no cage; the bearing is supplied with annular lubrication features and is intended for oil or grease lubrication in heavy gearboxes Typical applications include crane travelling-wheel mechanisms, compact slow-speed agitator drives and heavy industrial gearbox shafts, where the 130 mm outside diameter and 300 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In crane travelling-wheel mechanisms the unit fits a compact 85 mm seat, and in compact slow-speed agitator drives the 2.72 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for heavy industrial gearbox shafts, relying on the 60 mm width and the published 465 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. 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.

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.
• 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.
