Browning 730014 Pillow Block Bearing 2-15/16 in Tapered Roller

Product Description

The BROWNING 730014 is a Type E nonexpansion pillow block bearing in the PBE920 series, designed for industrial shaft support applications. It features a 2-15/16 inch straight bore and a tapered roller bearing insert made from 52100 bearing steel, housed in a cast iron body. The set screw locking mechanism secures the insert to the shaft. With a base-to-center height of 3-1/8 inches and an overall length of 12 inches, this unit suits moderate-to-heavy radial load conditions in industrial machinery and equipment. Installation is performed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial technicians.

This pillow block is suited for stationary mounting in industrial environments where a nonexpansion (fixed) bearing position is required. The 2-bolt mounting pattern with a 9.75 inch center-to-center bolt spacing accommodates standard structural steel and fabricated bases. A maximum shaft speed rating of 1500 RPM makes it appropriate for low-to-moderate speed conveyor drives, fan shafts, auger drives, and similar rotating equipment found in manufacturing, agriculture, and processing facilities.

Key Features

• Tapered roller bearing insert for combined radial and thrust load capacity
• 52100 bearing steel insert material for hardness and wear resistance
• Cast iron housing provides rigidity under heavy loads
• Set screw locking mechanism for secure shaft attachment
• Nonexpansion (Type E) design holds fixed axial position on the shaft
• Maximum 1500 RPM shaft speed rating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation pillow block for industrial shaft applications requiring a 2-15/16 inch straight bore tapered roller unit in the PBE920 series configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified millwrights or maintenance mechanics. Shut down and lock out all power to the drive system before mounting or removing this bearing unit. Align the housing with the mating bearing or fixed bearing on the shaft before fully tightening the mounting bolts to avoid preloading the housing. Tighten set screws to the shaft only after the housing is fully secured to its base.
