Browning 730010 Type E Nonexpansion Pillow Block 2-7/16 in

Product Description

The BROWNING 730010 is a Type E nonexpansion pillow block bearing unit designed to support rotating shaft assemblies in fixed-position applications. It accepts a shaft with a 2-7/16 inch bore diameter and provides a stable, cast iron housing for use in demanding industrial and mechanical drive systems. The unit measures 5-1/2 inches in height and 4 inches in width, with a base-to-center height of 2-3/4 inches. Mounting hole spacing ranges from 7.125 inches minimum to 8.75 inches maximum, allowing straightforward installation on standard mounting surfaces. Licensed millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial service technicians are the primary installers of this bearing unit.

This pillow block is suited for fixed bearing points in industrial conveyor systems, fan drives, pump shafts, and general power transmission equipment. The nonexpansion design holds the shaft in axial position, making it the appropriate choice for the fixed end of a two-bearing shaft arrangement. It is used in both light industrial and heavy-duty plant maintenance applications where a cast iron housing is acceptable for the service environment.

Key Features

• Cast iron housing provides durability in industrial environments
• 2-7/16 inch bore accommodates standard shaft diameters up to 2-7/16 inches
• Base-to-center height of 2-3/4 inches for consistent shaft centerline positioning
• Mounting hole spread adjustable between 7.125 and 8.75 inches for flexible installation
• Sold as a single unit with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install pillow block for industrial shaft assemblies requiring a Type E nonexpansion bearing unit with a 2-7/16 inch bore.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance mechanic familiar with power transmission components. De-energize and lock out all associated machinery before beginning installation per OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Align the pillow block carefully to the shaft centerline before fully torquing mounting fasteners to avoid premature bearing wear. Ensure the mating expansion bearing is used at the opposite shaft end to accommodate thermal shaft growth.
