Browning 730027 Type E 4-bolt Flange Bearing 2-3/16 Bore

Product Description

The BROWNING 730027 is a Type E 4-bolt flange bearing designed for mounted tapered roller bearing applications in industrial and mechanical drive systems. With a maximum bore diameter of 2-3/16 inches and an overall length of 6-1/4 inches, this unit provides solid radial and thrust load handling in a cast iron housing. The 4-bolt mounting pattern uses 5/8-inch bolts spaced 4-7/8 inches between mounting hole centers, giving the installer consistent, repeatable alignment on equipment frames. At 16 pounds, this is a substantial bearing unit suited for heavy-duty rotating equipment. Licensed mechanics and millwrights are the primary installers for this class of flange unit.

This bearing is used in industrial rotating equipment installations where a rigid, four-point mount is required to handle combined radial and axial loads. Typical applications include conveyor systems, agricultural machinery, pump drives, industrial fans, and similar shaft-mounted power transmission equipment. The tapered roller design handles thrust loads in addition to radial loads, making it appropriate for shaft arrangements where axial forces are present. The cast iron housing provides rigidity and durability in factory and field environments.

Key Features

• Type E 4-bolt flange configuration with 5/8-inch bolt size for secure equipment frame mounting
• Mounted tapered roller bearing design handles both radial and axial thrust loads
• Maximum bore diameter of 2-3/16 inches accommodates common industrial shaft sizes
• Cast iron housing delivers structural rigidity in heavy-duty rotating equipment applications
• 4-7/8-inch distance between mounting hole centers for consistent bolt pattern alignment
• Overall length of 6-1/4 inches and width of 3-7/8 inches for dimensional planning during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flange bearing for industrial power transmission systems requiring a Type E 4-bolt mounted tapered roller bearing with a 2-3/16-inch bore.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. Shut down and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing any bearing unit. Use properly rated fasteners at the specified bolt size and torque to the equipment manufacturer's specifications — do not substitute fasteners. Inspect the shaft for wear, correct diameter, and proper surface finish before seating the bearing bore to avoid premature failure.
