How the SL192338-TB-BR model number is decoded
envelope 190×400×132 mm with a 105.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 2220 kN and C0 2950 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.75 the 132 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 320 kN, the limiting speed 1,090 r/min and the thermal reference speed 630 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 11.68 kN per millimetre of the 190 mm bore and 16.82 kN per millimetre of the 132 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 80.3 kg (80300 g) (1.52 g per mm² of the 400×132 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads at 190 mm bore this is among the largest catalogue sizes; the 1,090 r/min limiting speed confirms a slow-speed, extreme-load application such as a slewing or rolling-mill position Reading SL1923: full-complement roller set, no cage, self-guided rollers; the wide envelope is chosen where a narrow-section bearing would fit radially but lacks load capacity At 1,090 r/min limiting speed the SL1923 is a slow-speed, high-load bearing — the cageless rollers trade kinematic speed for the 2220 kN dynamic rating -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. The -BR suffix gives the rings and rollers an oxide surface finish (black finish) that resists corrosion during storage, transport and mounting. Typical applications include marine and offshore winch arrangements, rope drums and winch drums and hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps, where the 400 mm outside diameter and 2220 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In marine and offshore winch arrangements the unit fits a compact 190 mm seat, and in rope drums and winch drums the 80.3 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps, relying on the 132 mm width and the published 2950 kN static rating. 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.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- crane travelling-wheel mechanisms
- material handling conveyor pulleys
- heavy industrial gearbox shafts
- vibrating and oscillating machinery
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
- 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.
- 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 SL192338-TB-BR?
The SL192338-TB-BR is a SL1923 single-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing with 400 mm outside diameter, 190 mm bore and 132 mm width, envelope 190×400×132 mm. Mass is 80.3 kg.
What does the SL192338-TB-BR designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?
SL192338-TB-BR identifies this SL1923 single-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 190×400×132 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 2220 kN, C0 2950 kN, Cur 320 kN.
What is the load capacity of the SL192338-TB-BR?
The basic dynamic load rating C is 2220 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 2950 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 320 kN.
What is the maximum speed of the SL192338-TB-BR?
The limiting speed is 1,090 r/min and the thermal reference speed is 630 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 SL192338-TB-BR?
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.
