If there is any uncertainty regarding the suitability of the selected lubricant for the application, please consult Schaeffler or the lubricant manufacturer.

The cylindrical roller bearings are not greased. They must be lubricated with oil or grease. The bearings can be lubricated via the end faces of the outer ring as well as via a lubrication groove and lubrication holes in the outer ring.

SKFbearing

Factor as a function of lubrication method ➤ Table. The factor takes into consideration the lubrication method used for the bearing. The better the lubrication and in particular the heat dissipation, the higher the permissible axial load

The bearings are held together in handling and mounting by a transport and mounting retaining device on the outer ring ➤ Figure. This retaining device remains in the bearing even after mounting and must not be subjected to axial load.

If housing tolerances are present or several rope sheaves are arranged adjacent to each other, axial clearance may occur between the inner rings. This must always be prevented by means of design measures. For example, shims are suitable for this purpose.

Since X-life cylindrical roller bearings have the same dimensions as the corresponding standard bearings, the latter can be replaced without any problems by the higher-performance X-life bearings. The major advantages of X-life can therefore also be used for existing bearing arrangements with standard bearings.

The bearings can support axial loads on one side by means of the ribs on the inner and outer ring ➤ Figure. In order to ensure problem-free running (tilting of the rollers is prevented), they must always be subjected to radial load at the same time as axial load. The ratio Fa/Fr must not exceed the value 0,4. For bearings with toroidal roller ends (TB design), values up to 0,6 are permissible.

The axial loads occurring cannot be securely transmitted by the retaining rings. Transmission of the loads is only possible if sufficient joint pressure is present. Due to the operating conditions present in rope sheave bearing arrangements, an interference fit between the outer ring and rope sheave is absolutely critical in order to achieve correct bearing function and load transmission. The joint pressure must be between pmin = 2 N/mm2 and pmax = 25 N/mm2. The internal clearance has a considerable influence on bearing function ➤ Table.

The permissible axial load Fa per can be calculated from the hydrodynamic load carrying capacity of the contact ➤ Equation.

The Schaeffler Mounting Handbook MH 1 gives comprehensive information about the correct storage, mounting, dismounting and maintenance of rotary rolling bearings http://www.schaeffler.de/std/1B68. It also provides information which should be observed by the designer, in relation to the mounting, dismounting and maintenance of bearings, in the original design of the bearing position. This book is available from Schaeffler on request.

The limiting speed nG is the kinematically permissible speed of the bearing. Even under favourable mounting and operating conditions, this value should not be exceeded without prior consultation with Schaeffler ➤ link.

The values for radial internal clearance correspond to DIN 620-4:2004 (ISO 5753-1:2009) ➤ Table. They are valid for bearings which are free from load and measurement forces (without elastic deformation).

We therefore reserve the right to make changes to the data and illus­trations in this catalogue. This catalogue reflects the status at the time of printing. More recent publications released by us (as printed or digital media) will automatically precede this catalogue if they involve the same subject. Therefore, please always use our electronic product catalogue to check whether more up-to-date information or modification notices exist for your desired product.

In conclusion, these advantages improve the overall cost-efficiency of the bearing position significantly and thus bring about a sustainable increase in the efficiency of the machine and equipment.

These bearings are supplied greased and can be relubricated via the outer ring or inner ring. The grease used is a lithium complex soap grease to GA08. Arcanol LOAD150 ➤ link is suitable for relubrication. The greases named are highly suitable, due to their good moisture resistance and high load carrying capacity, for applications in rope sheaves at low to moderate speeds.

The series SL0248 and SL0249 are not self-retaining. As a result, the bearing parts (the inner ring with the rolling element set and the outer ring) can be mounted separately from each other ➤ section. This gives simplified mounting of the bearings, especially when the two bearing rings have a tight fit.

Axial loads are supported by the bearing ribs and the roller end faces ➤ Figure. The axial load carrying capacity of the bearing is therefore essentially dependent on:

If the condition described above is not met, i. e. if in addition to the radial force Fr, there is also an axial force Fa, a constant radial force must first be determined for the rating life calculation that (in relation to the rating life) represents an equivalent load. This force is known as the equivalent dynamic bearing load P.

Bearings of series SL1850 (dimension series 50) have three rigid ribs on the inner ring and one rigid rib on the outer ring ➤ Figure. In these cylindrical roller bearings, axial displacements of the shaft relative to the housing are possible in one direction only. The maximum axial displacement s is given in the product tables ➤ link. The bearings are used as semi-locating bearings, i. e. they can guide the shaft axially in one direction ➤ section.

The basic rating life equation L = (Cr/P)p used in the dimensioning of bearings under dynamic load assumes a load of constant magnitude and direction. In radial bearings, this is a purely radial load Fr. If this condition is met, the bearing load Fr is used in the rating life equation for P (P = Fr).

The SGI value is based on the maximum permissible noise level of a bearing in accordance with internal standards, which is calculated on the basis of ISO 15242. In order that different bearing types and series can be compared, the SGI value is plotted against the basic static load rating C0.

Cylindrical roller bearings with annular slots are available as a light series SL04..-PP and in the dimension series 50 as SL0450..-PP. The latter has a higher load carrying capacity than the light series ➤ link.

For bearings with rollers of the standard or TB design, the maximum permissible axial load Fa max ➤ Equation is calculated from the rib strength and the security against wear. This must not be exceeded, even if Fa per gives higher values ➤ Equation.

In order that no slippage occurs between the contact partners, the cylindrical roller bearings must be constantly subjected to a sufficiently high radial load. For continuous operation, experience shows that a minimum radial load of the order of P ＞ C0r/60 is necessary. In most cases, however, the radial load is already higher than the requisite minimum load due to the weight of the supported parts and the external forces.

The Schaeffler Noise Index (SGI) has been developed as a new feature for comparing the noise level of different bearing types and series. As a result, a noise evaluation of rolling bearings can now be carried out for the first time.

In addition to supporting the rings adequately, the bearings must also be securely located in a radial direction, to prevent creep of the bearing rings on the mating parts under load. This is generally achieved by means of tight fits between the bearing rings and the mating parts. If the rings are not secured adequately or correctly, this can cause severe damage to the bearings and adjacent machine parts. Influencing factors, such as the conditions of rotation, magnitude of the load, internal clearance, temperature conditions, design of the mating parts and the mounting and dismounting options must be taken into consideration in the selection of fits.

In addition to the bearings described here, Schaeffler supplies double row full complement cylindrical roller bearings in other types, series and dimensions. These products are described in some cases in special publications. If necessary, please contact Schaeffler. Larger catalogue bearings GL 1.

Depending on the type, double row full complement cylindrical roller bearings can support not only very high radial forces but also high axial loads on one or both sides:

This permits direct comparisons between bearings with the same load carrying capacity. The upper limit value is given in each of the diagrams. This means that the average noise level of the bearings is lower than illustrated in the diagram.

Double row full complement cylindrical roller bearings are manufactured as standard with the radial internal clearance CN (normal) ➤ Table. CN is not stated in the designation.

If shock type loads occur, tight fits (transition fit or interference fit) are required to prevent the rings from coming loose at any point. Clearance, transition or interference fits ➤ link.

In the case of cylindrical roller bearings with toroidal crowned rollers (TB design), the axial load carrying capacity has been significantly improved with the aid of new calculation and manufacturing methods. A special curvature of the roller end faces facilitates optimum contact conditions between the rollers and ribs ➤ Figure. As a result, the axial contact pressures on the rib are significantly minimised and a lubricant film capable of supporting higher loads is formed. Under standard operating conditions, this completely eliminates wear and fatigue at the rib contact running and roller end faces. In addition, the axial frictional torque is reduced by up to 50%. The bearing temperature during operation is therefore significantly lower. Bearings of toroidal crowned design ➤ link.

Maximum continuous axial load in relation to rib fracture. In order to prevent unacceptably high pressures at the contact surfaces, Fa max must not be exceeded

In bearings of these series, the inner ring has three rigid ribs, while the outer ring is without ribs ➤ Figure.As a result, axial displacements of the shaft relative to the housing can be compensated within certain limits. During rotational motion, length compensation occurs without constraint in the bearing between the rollers and the raceway without ribs and is therefore practically free from friction. The maximum axial displacement s is given in the product tables. The bearings are used as non-locating bearings, i. e. they cannot guide the shaft axially in either direction ➤ section. The series SL0248 and SL0249 are not self-retaining (the outer ring without ribs can be removed from the bearing). As a result, the bearing parts (the inner ring with the rolling element set and the outer ring) can be mounted separately from each other. This gives easier mounting of the bearings ➤ section.

In semi-locating bearings, it is sufficient to support the bearing rings on one side, on the rib supporting the axial load ➤ Figure.

Rolling bearings are well-proven precision machine elements for the design of economical and reliable bearing arrangements, which offer high operational security. In order that these products can function correctly and achieve the envisaged operating life without detrimental effect, they must be handled with care.

Full complement cylindrical roller bearings do not have a cage for guidance and separation of the rolling elements. The cylindrical rollers are guided by the ribs on the bearing rings.

The designation of bearings follows a set model. Examples are shown in ➤ Figure and ➤ Figure. The composition of designations is subject to DIN 623-1 ➤ Figure.

Doped lubricating oils should be used, such as CLP (DIN 51517) and HLP (DIN 51524) of ISO-VG-grades 32 to 460 and ATF oils (DIN 51502) and transmission oils (DIN 51512) of SAE viscosity grades 75W to 140W.

The following information provided in Technical principles must be taken into consideration in the design of bearing arrangements:

The roughness of the bearing seats must be matched to the tolerance class of the bearings. The mean roughness value Ra must not be too high, in order to maintain the interference loss within limits. The shafts must be ground, while the bores must be precision turned. Guide values as a function of the IT grade of bearing seating surfaces ➤ Table.

Due to the kinematic conditions, full complement cylindrical roller bearings do not achieve the high speeds that are possible when using cylindrical roller bearings with cage.

The precondition for these kS values is an operating viscosity of the lubricant of at least the reference viscosity ν1 in accordance with DIN ISO 281:2010.

The mounting and dismounting options for cylindrical roller bearings, by thermal, hydraulic or mechanical methods, must be taken into consideration in the design of the bearing position.

The thermal speed rating nϑr is not an application-oriented speed limit, but is a calculated ancillary value for determining the thermally safe operating speed nϑ ➤ link.

The split outer ring is held together by a transport and mounting retaining device ➤ Figure. This retaining device remains in the bearing even after mounting and must not be subjected to axial load.

In addition to the data in this chapter, the following chapters in Technical principles must also be observed in the design of bearing arrangements:

The correct radial internal clearance is of decisive importance for the correct function of rope sheaves. The radial internal clearance group is dependent on the material of the rope sheave ➤ Table.

The Schaeffler Noise Index is an additional performance characteristic in the selection of bearings for noise-sensitive applications. The specific suitability of a bearing for an application in terms of installation space, load carrying capacity or speed limit for example, must be checked independently of this.

In order to allow full utilisation of the load carrying capacity of the bearings and thus also achieve the requisite rating life, the bearing rings must be rigidly and uniformly supported by means of contact surfaces over their entire circumference and over the entire width of the raceway. Support can be provided by means of a cylindrical seating surface. The seating and contact surfaces should not be interrupted by grooves, holes or other recesses. The accuracy of mating parts must meet specific requirements ➤ Table to ➤ Table.

In these bearings, the inner ring has three rigid ribs and the outer ring has two rigid ribs ➤ Figure. Axial displacements between the shaft and housing are not possible. The bearings are used as locating bearings, i. e. they can guide the shaft axially in both directions ➤ section.

The accuracy of the cylindrical bearing seat on the shaft and in the housing should correspond to the accuracy of the bearing used. For cylindrical roller bearings with the tolerance class Normal, the shaft seat should correspond to a minimum of standard tolerance grade IT6 and the housing seat to a minimum of IT7. Guide values for the geometrical and positional tolerances of the bearing seating surfaces ➤ Table, tolerances t1 to t3 in accordance with ➤ link. Numerical values for IT grades ➤ Table.

The mounting dimensions of the shaft and housing shoulders, and spacer rings etc., must ensure that the contact surfaces for the bearing rings are of sufficient height. The transition from the bearing seat to the abutment shoulder must be designed with rounding to DIN 5418:1993 or an undercut to DIN 509:2006. Proven mounting dimensions for the radii and diameters of abutment shoulders are given in the product tables ➤ link. These dimensions are limiting dimensions (maximum or minimum dimensions); the actual values should not be higher or lower than specified.

Double row full complement cylindrical roller bearings are part of the group of radial roller bearings. These bearings comprise solid outer rings, inner rings and full complement rolling element sets. Due to the absence of a cage, the bearing can accommodate the largest possible number of rolling elements. The rollers have profiled ends, i. e. they have a slight lateral curvature towards the ends. This modified line contact between the raceways and rolling elements prevents damaging edge stresses ➤ Figure. Bearings in the standard range differ essentially in the arrangement of the ribs on the inner ring and outer ring. Depending on the design, they are used as non-locating bearings, semi‑locating bearings or locating bearings.

The bearings are held together in handling and mounting by a transport and mounting retaining device on the outer ring ➤ Figure.This retaining device remains in the bearing even after mounting and must not be subjected to axial load.

The bearings do not permit any misalignments between the inner and outer ring, i. e. the bearing positions must be well aligned.

Skf interchange

Non-locating bearings can only support radial loads, rope sheave bearings only have a small axial load carrying capacity. For these bearings ➤ Equation.

The annular slots allow axial location of the outer rings using retaining rings ➤ Figure. Suitable fasteners are WRE rings or rings in accordance with DIN 471. Locating rings are not included in the scope of delivery. The design 2NR is supplied with two retaining rings WRE packed loose. The split inner ring must be axially secured ➤ Figure. The fasteners must not be subjected to axial load.

The dimensional and running tolerances of the cylindrical roller bearings correspond to the tolerance class Normal in accordance with ISO 492:2014. Tolerance values in accordance with ISO 492 ➤ link.

Double row full complement cylindrical roller bearings of series SL1850 are available in many sizes as X-life bearings ➤ link. These bearings exhibit considerably higher performance than comparable standard cylindrical roller bearings. This is achieved, for example, through the modified internal construction, the optimised contact geometry between the rollers and raceways, the better surface quality and the optimised roller guidance and lubricant film formation.

X-life indicates a high product performance density and thus a particularly significant benefit to the customer. Further information on X-life ➤ link.

Roughness for bearing seating surfaces on the shaft and in the housing bore for cylindrical roller bearings with annular slots – recommendation

As a tight fit alone is not normally sufficient to also locate the bearing rings securely on the shaft and in the housing bore in an axial direction, this must usually be achieved by means of an additional axial location or retention method. The axial location of the bearing rings must be matched to the type of bearing arrangement. Shaft and housing shoulders, housing covers, nuts, spacer rings, retaining rings, adapter and withdrawal sleeves etc. are generally suitable; example ➤ Figure.

For cylindrical roller bearings with annular slots in the outer ring, the calculations of Fa per and Fa max cannot be used. For the axial load carrying capacity of these bearings, please consult Schaeffler.

For bearings with contact seals, no speed ratings are defined in accordance with DIN ISO 15312:2004. As a result, only the limiting speed nG is given in the product tables for these bearings.

Due to their special technical features, double row full complement X-life cylindrical roller bearings are highly suitable, for example, for bearing arrangements in:

During mounting and dismounting of the bearings, the mounting forces must never be directed through the rolling elements, sealing rings or the fasteners on the split bearing ring.

Permissible continuous axial load. In order to prevent unacceptably high temperatures in the bearing, Fa per must not be exceeded

Radial internal clearance of cylindrical roller bearings with annular slots for the support of rope sheaves as a function of the material of adjacent parts – recommendation

Ribs under axial load must be supported over their entire height and entire circumference ➤ link and ➤ Figure. The size and axial runout accuracy of the contact surfaces on the inner ring rib must be observed especially in the case of cylindrical roller bearings subjected to high loads, since these factors also influence the uniformity of the rib load and the running accuracy of the shaft. This means that the ribs may be subjected to damaging alternating stresses even in the case of very small misalignments. If the mounting dimensions indicated in the product tables are observed, the problems described can be reliably avoided ➤ link.

These bearings comprise solid outer rings without ribs, inner rings with three ribs, rib-guided rolling element sets and sealing rings ➤ Figure. The outer rings have annular slots for retaining rings. The inner rings are axially split, 1 mm wider than the outer rings and held together by a sheet metal ring. They are used as locating bearings (but can support only slight axial loads) and are used in preference for the support of rope sheaves.

Extensive information on rope sheave bearing arrangements is given in the Technical Product Information TPI 237. This publication can be requested from Schaeffler.

In the case of these bearings, the rolling element system is protected against contamination and moisture by polyurethane sealing rings on both sides. The seals have low friction and are particularly resistant to climate and temperature. Where environmental conditions are particularly critical, sealing of the bearings can be improved further by means of additional seals, such as V rings, in the adjacent construction.

Of central interest to Schaeffler is the further development and optimisation of its products and the satisfaction of its customers. In order that you, as the customer, can keep yourself optimally informed about the progress that is being made here and with regard to the current technical status of the products, we publish any product changes which differ from the printed version in our electronic product catalogue.

In addition to the basic rating life L (L10h), it is also always necessary to check the static load safety factor S0 ➤ Equation.

The sealing rings must be supported to a sufficient height that they are not pressed out during lubrication of the bearings ➤ Figure. The dimension d2 in the product tables must be observed ➤ dimension table.

The bearings are not sealed; i. e. sealing of the bearing position must be carried out in the adjacent construction. This must reliably prevent:
