INA SL182222-C3 Zylinderrollenlager (110x200x53)

As a cylindrical roller bearing, this bearing carries high radial loads with limited axial capacity. The mounting dimensions are 110x200x53 mm and the weight is 7.045 kg; technical details beyond these are shown in the specification table. This variant features increased radial clearance (C3). In a cylindrical roller bearing the operating clearance determines over what circumferential sector the load is distributed across the rollers; the increased clearance (C3) keeps that sector within the design window even when fit and heating narrow the play.

In this design, radial clearance is directly a design parameter and not merely a manufacturing dimension: it fixes how many rollers carry load at the same time. If the operating play comes out too small, the load zone extends beyond half the circumference, the unloaded rollers are pressed against the raceway, friction and heat generation rise, and the heat introduced reduces the play further.

If, conversely, too much play remains, only a narrow zone carries, and the most heavily loaded roller takes a larger share of the radial force than a calculation assuming even distribution would suggest. The increased clearance (C3) shifts the initial play upward far enough that the usual consumers — the interference fit of the inner ring on the shaft and a temperature difference between the rings — still leave a residual play within the intended range in service.

The interference fit is no special case here: because the inner ring and the outer ring assembly are fitted separately, the inner ring is routinely set tight on the shaft under rotating point load, and a tight seat expands the ring before the arrangement even goes into service. Every heat source on the shaft side acts in the same way, from the gear teeth to a flange-mounted drive.

For the specific bearing position, the choice of fits, the temperature gradient to be expected between inner and outer ring, and the magnitude and direction of the radial force should therefore be assessed together. The increased clearance changes nothing about the rest of the layout: axial guidance still follows from the rib arrangement, and the open form presupposes sealing by the surrounding construction.
