How the SL192308-XL model number is decoded
envelope 40×90×33 mm with a 25.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 170 kN and C0 153 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 1.11 the 33 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 29 kN, the limiting speed 5,000 r/min and the thermal reference speed 3,050 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 4.25 kN per millimetre of the 40 mm bore and 5.15 kN per millimetre of the 33 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 1.01 kg (1010 g) (0.34 g per mm² of the 90×33 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads at 40 mm bore this is a mainstream industrial size — conveyor drives, winches and medium gearboxes use the 33 mm width as a standard mounting space Large SL1923 sizes in HR1 are typically the TB design with oxide-finished surfaces; the 1.01 kg mass reflects the thick, deformation-resistant rings At 5,000 r/min limiting speed the SL1923 is a slow-speed, high-load bearing — the cageless rollers trade kinematic speed for the 170 kN dynamic rating -XL means this is an X-life bearing — Schaeffler's upgraded performance level with smoother raceways, so the 170 kN C rating and longer nominal life come without an envelope change. Typical applications include rolling-mill and steel-industry drives, hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps and material handling conveyor pulleys, where the 90 mm outside diameter and 170 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In rolling-mill and steel-industry drives the unit fits a compact 40 mm seat, and in hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps the 1.01 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for material handling conveyor pulleys, relying on the 33 mm width and the published 153 kN static rating. 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. Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- heavy industrial gearbox shafts
- construction machinery slewing drives
- vibrating and oscillating machinery
- rope drums and winch drums
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
- 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.
- Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease.
- 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 SL192308-XL?
The SL192308-XL is a SL1923 single-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing with 90 mm outside diameter, 40 mm bore and 33 mm width, envelope 40×90×33 mm. Mass is 1.01 kg.
What does the SL192308-XL designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?
SL192308-XL identifies this SL1923 single-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue; the -XL suffix marks the X-life execution. The envelope is 40×90×33 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 170 kN, C0 153 kN, Cur 29 kN.
What is the load capacity of the SL192308-XL?
The basic dynamic load rating C is 170 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 153 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 29 kN.
What is the maximum speed of the SL192308-XL?
The limiting speed is 5,000 r/min and the thermal reference speed is 3,050 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 SL192308-XL?
This is a semi-locating bearing: it locates the shaft in one axial direction and floats in the other, and should be paired with a non-locating or locating bearing accordingly.
