Browning 730006 Type E Nonexpansion Pillow Block Bearing

Product Description

The BROWNING 730006 is a Type E nonexpansion pillow block bearing designed for industrial shaft support applications. Built around a tapered roller bearing insert made from 52100 bearing steel, this unit provides a 1-15/16 inch bore and an outside diameter of 4-1/2 inches. The cast iron housing is secured by two bolts and uses a set screw lock type to fix the shaft in position. With a maximum rated speed of 2000 RPM, this pillow block is suited for moderate-speed, moderate-to-heavy radial load environments. It is installed by maintenance mechanics and millwrights as part of conveyor, fan, pump, or general industrial drive systems.

The BROWNING 730006 is used in industrial and commercial mechanical drive applications where a fixed, nonexpansion bearing point is required on a shaft measuring 1-15/16 inches. The Type E Series E920 housing profile accommodates standard two-bolt mounting patterns with a center-to-center bolt hole spacing ranging from 6.1875 to 7.25 inches and a base-to-center height of 2-1/4 inches. Typical installation scenarios include conveyor drive shafts, industrial fans, blowers, and general-purpose machinery requiring a rigid shaft support point.

Key Features

• Tapered roller bearing insert for strong radial and thrust load handling
• 52100 bearing steel insert for durability and wear resistance
• Cast iron housing resists deflection under load in industrial environments
• Set screw lock type secures the bearing insert firmly to the shaft
• Two-bolt mounting base with a center-to-center bolt hole span up to 7.25 inches
• Maximum rated speed of 2000 RPM suitable for moderate-speed drive applications

Compatibility

Designed as a Type E nonexpansion pillow block in the E920 series with a straight bore of 1-15/16 inches, this unit is intended as an OEM-style replacement or new installation for two-bolt pillow block positions requiring a tapered roller insert and cast iron housing at this shaft diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified maintenance mechanic or millwright. De-energize and lock out all power sources before handling any rotating machinery components. Align the shaft and housing carefully before tightening the set screw to avoid premature bearing wear. Consult applicable machinery OEM documentation and applicable ANSI or OSHA lockout/tagout standards during installation.
