Browning 3695236 3-groove Qd V-belt Sheave 4.68 in Od

Product Description

The BROWNING 3695236 is a three-groove, Quick-Detachable (QD) bushed V-belt sheave designed for use with 5V, A, and B belt cross-sections. It features an outside diameter of 4.68 inches and accepts P1-style QD bushings with bore diameters ranging from 0.5 inches to 2.4375 inches, giving technicians flexibility across a wide range of shaft sizes. Constructed from cast iron, this sheave is built for the sustained rotational loads common in HVAC blower assemblies, industrial fans, pump drives, and commercial air-handling equipment. Licensed HVAC and mechanical contractors install this component as part of belt-drive transmission systems where precise sheave sizing directly affects blower speed and system airflow performance.

This sheave is suited for belt-drive applications in commercial and industrial settings, including air-handling units, centrifugal blowers, compressors, and pump systems that use 5V, A, or B cross-section V-belts. The QD bushing mount simplifies installation and removal without the need for hydraulic pullers, making it a practical choice for service technicians performing scheduled maintenance or drive system upgrades. The three-groove configuration allows for multi-belt drive arrangements that distribute load and reduce belt wear under continuous-duty operation.

Key Features

• Three-groove design supports multi-belt drive arrangements for load distribution
• Compatible with 5V, A, and B belt cross-sections for versatile drive configurations
• P1-style QD bushing mount allows tool-accessible installation and removal
• Bore range of 0.5 inches to 2.4375 inches accommodates a wide variety of shaft diameters
• Cast iron construction provides durability under continuous rotational load
• 4.68 inch outside diameter with 4.5 inch belt pitch diameter for 5V belts

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5V, A, and B cross-section V-belts and P1-style QD bushings. Suitable as an OEM-style or replacement sheave in belt-drive systems requiring a three-groove, QD-mount pulley with a 4.68 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or HVAC technician with experience in belt-drive systems. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing sheave components. Ensure the mating QD bushing is properly torqued per the bushing manufacturer specifications before returning the drive to service. Verify belt tension and sheave alignment after installation to prevent premature belt and bearing wear.
