Browning 730026 Type E 4-bolt Flange Bearing 5.625 in Oal

Product Description

The BROWNING 730026 is a Type E 4-bolt flange bearing designed for mounting tapered roller bearing assemblies in demanding industrial and mechanical drive applications. With an overall length of 5.625 inches and a width of 3.625 inches, this cast iron housing provides rigid, stable support for rotating shafts up to 2 inches in bore diameter. The 4-bolt mounting pattern spaces hole centers 4.375 inches apart, allowing for secure attachment to equipment frames and base plates. Weighing 12 pounds, the heavy cast iron construction resists vibration and handles the radial and thrust loads typical of conveyor, fan, pump, and power transmission installations. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This bearing unit fits applications where a flanged, bolt-down mounting style is required. The Type E designation indicates a standard 4-bolt flange configuration widely used in industrial machinery, material handling equipment, HVAC fan shafts, and similar rotating equipment. The 0.5-inch bolt size accommodates standard fastener hardware. The maximum bore diameter of 2 inches covers a broad range of common shaft sizes found in light to medium-duty industrial drive systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical or industrial maintenance technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing bearing units. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of debris before seating the flange housing. Do not use impact tools to drive the bearing onto a shaft; use a bearing press or appropriate installation tool to avoid damaging the tapered roller assembly.
