Browning 1002450 2-groove Qd Bushed V-belt Sheave 8.95 in Od

Product Description

The BROWNING 1002450 is a two-groove, QD bushed V-belt sheave designed for power transmission applications in HVAC, industrial, and mechanical systems. It carries an outside diameter of 8.95 inches and accepts a Q1-style quick-detach bushing to accommodate bore sizes ranging from 3/4 inch to 2-11/16 inches. The sheave is cast from iron for durability under continuous belt load. With a belt pitch A diameter of 8.2 inches and a belt pitch B diameter of 8.6 inches, it is engineered to run A, B, and 5V cross-section belts. Licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors install this type of sheave on blower and fan assemblies where precise belt alignment and easy bushing removal are required.

This sheave is suited for residential and light commercial air handling units, cooling towers, and industrial fan drives where a two-groove QD configuration is specified. The Q1 bushing style allows the installer to fit a range of shaft diameters without stocking multiple fixed-bore sheaves. Compatible belt trade sizes include A, B, and 5V cross-sections, making it a versatile choice for retrofit and new-installation fan drive systems that operate within the dimensional envelope of an 8.95-inch outside diameter sheave.

Key Features

• Two grooves accommodate A, B, and 5V cross-section V-belts
• Q1 quick-detach bushing style for easy installation and removal without special tooling
• Outside diameter of 8.95 inches with a belt pitch A diameter of 8.2 inches
• Bore range of 3/4 inch to 2-11/16 inches covers a wide range of shaft sizes
• Iron construction provides strength and resistance to wear under continuous belt tension

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit sheave for fan and blower drive assemblies requiring a two-groove, Q1 QD bushed sheave with an 8.95-inch outside diameter and compatibility with A, B, or 5V cross-section V-belts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or millwright. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing the sheave. The Q1 bushing must be properly torqued to the manufacturer specification printed on the bushing itself. After installation, verify belt tension and sheave alignment with a straightedge or laser alignment tool before returning the system to service.
