How the SL185064-TB model number is decoded

envelope 320×480×218 mm with a 80.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 3550 kN and C0 6900 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.51 the 218 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 700 kN, the limiting speed 770 r/min and the thermal reference speed 375 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 11.09 kN per millimetre of the 320 mm bore and 16.28 kN per millimetre of the 218 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 128.4 kg (128400 g) (1.23 g per mm² of the 480×218 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads 320 mm bore, 480 mm outside diameter: at this size the 6900 kN C0 rating and rigid full-complement pack replace multi-bearing arrangements in compact heavy-duty designs SL1850 denotes the double-row full-complement semi-locating bearing: two roller rows share the 320 mm bore, and the arrangement guides the shaft axially in one direction while allowing displacement s in the other The semi-locating SL1850 structure uses inner-ring ribs with a retaining ring on the flangeless side; it carries high radial loads plus axial load in one direction, which is why it often pairs with an SL0149 locating bearing -TB marks the TB execution with higher permissible axial load — the improved roller-end/rib lubrication film carries more thrust than the standard full-complement design. Typical applications include rope drums and winch drums, vibrating and oscillating machinery and marine and offshore winch arrangements, where the 480 mm outside diameter and 3550 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In rope drums and winch drums the unit fits a compact 320 mm seat, and in vibrating and oscillating machinery the 128.4 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for marine and offshore winch arrangements, relying on the 218 mm width and the published 6900 kN static rating. C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film. There is no cage: do not apply caged-bearing speed rules — the printed limiting speed is a hard kinematic ceiling set by roller-to-roller contact.

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

  • C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film.
  • There is no cage: do not apply caged-bearing speed rules — the printed limiting speed is a hard kinematic ceiling set by roller-to-roller contact.
  • The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the SL185064-TB?

The SL185064-TB is a SL1850 double-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing with 480 mm outside diameter, 320 mm bore and 218 mm width, envelope 320×480×218 mm. Mass is 128.4 kg.

What does the SL185064-TB designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?

SL185064-TB identifies this SL1850 double-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 320×480×218 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 3550 kN, C0 6900 kN, Cur 700 kN.

What is the load capacity of the SL185064-TB?

The basic dynamic load rating C is 3550 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 6900 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 700 kN.

What is the maximum speed of the SL185064-TB?

The limiting speed is 770 r/min and the thermal reference speed is 375 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 SL185064-TB?

The SL1850 is semi-locating: it carries axial load in one direction and permits the catalogue s-displacement in the other.
