Browning 730001 Type E Pillow Block 1.25 in Id Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 730001 is a Type E nonexpansion pillow block bearing unit designed to support rotating shafts in fixed-position applications. Built from cast iron, it accepts a 1.25-inch bore and provides a stable, rigid mount for shafts in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, and similar rotating equipment. The overall assembly length is 6.375 inches, with a base-to-center height of 1.5 inches and an outside diameter of 3 inches. This unit is installed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial technicians where a two-bolt pillow block configuration is required.

This pillow block is suited for light-to-medium duty industrial applications including material handling equipment, agricultural machinery, and general industrial drive systems. The nonexpansion design holds the shaft in a fixed axial position, making it appropriate for the drive-side bearing location in paired bearing setups. The 1.25-inch bore accommodates standard shaft sizes common in smaller conveyor and drive assemblies. The cast iron housing provides durability in typical indoor industrial environments.

Key Features

• Type E nonexpansion design fixes shaft axially at the drive-side bearing position
• 1.25-inch maximum bore diameter for standard shaft fitment
• Cast iron housing for durability in industrial service
• Base-to-center height of 1.5 inches for low-profile mounting
• Mounting hole spacing between 4.3125 and 5 inches for flexible bolt pattern alignment
• Overall assembly length of 6.375 inches with 2.75-inch width

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install Type E nonexpansion pillow block for industrial shaft support applications requiring a 1.25-inch bore and two-bolt cast iron housing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified millwrights or maintenance mechanics. De-energize and lock out all power to the driven equipment before removing or installing bearing units per LOTO procedures. Ensure mounting surfaces are flat and clean before torquing mounting bolts, and align the shaft carefully to avoid preloading the bearing radially. Nonexpansion units should be positioned at the fixed end of a shaft paired with an expansion-type bearing at the opposite end.
