Browning 730002 Pillow Block Bearing 1-3/8 in Type E

Product Description

The BROWNING 730002 is a Type E nonexpansion pillow block bearing designed for shaft support in industrial rotating equipment. It features a 1-3/8 inch bore diameter and is housed in a cast iron block measuring 7-3/8 inches overall length. The base-to-center height is 1-7/8 inches, and the outside diameter of the bearing is 3-3/4 inches. This unit weighs 6.9 pounds and is intended for installation by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial service technicians working on conveyor systems, fans, blowers, and similar rotating shaft applications.

The 730002 pillow block is suited for fixed-point shaft positioning in industrial and light commercial machinery. As a nonexpansion type, it is used at the fixed end of a shaft assembly to control axial movement, while expansion-type units handle thermal growth at the opposite end. It is commonly installed in conveyor drives, agricultural equipment, material handling systems, and general industrial power transmission setups where a secure, rigid bearing mount is required.

Key Features

• Type E nonexpansion design controls axial shaft position at the fixed bearing location
• 1-3/8 inch maximum bore diameter accommodates standard shaft sizing
• Cast iron housing provides rigid, durable support under load
• Mounting hole spacing ranges from 5 inches to 6 inches for flexible base mounting
• 3-3/4 inch outside diameter with 3-inch width for compact installation footprint
• 1-7/8 inch base-to-center height suits standard mounting plate configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install pillow block bearing for industrial rotating shaft assemblies requiring a Type E nonexpansion fixed-end mount with a 1-3/8 inch bore.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified millwrights or maintenance mechanics familiar with shaft alignment procedures. Power down and lock out all equipment before removing or installing bearing units. Ensure mounting surfaces are flat and fasteners are torqued evenly to prevent housing distortion. Verify shaft diameter and end-play requirements before selecting fixed versus expansion bearing positions on multi-bearing assemblies.
