Browning 730028 Type E 4-bolt Flange Bearing 2-7/16 Bore

Product Description

The BROWNING 730028 is a Type E 4-bolt flange bearing with a mounted tapered roller bearing assembly, designed for heavy-duty shaft support in industrial and commercial mechanical drive applications. It features a 2-7/16 inch maximum bore diameter, an overall length of 6-7/8 inches, and a cast iron housing for strength and rigidity under load. The 4-bolt mounting pattern provides secure attachment to equipment frames and mounting surfaces. Licensed HVAC, mechanical, and millwright technicians install this type of bearing in fan assemblies, conveyor systems, and blower shafts where reliable radial and thrust load handling is required.

This bearing is suited for use in commercial and industrial environments where a flanged, bolted mounting configuration is needed for shaft positioning and support. The tapered roller bearing insert handles combined radial and axial loads, making it appropriate for driven shaft applications in HVAC air handling units, industrial fans, pump drives, and similar rotating equipment. The cast iron housing offers corrosion resistance and dimensional stability across a wide range of operating conditions.

Key Features

• Type E 4-bolt flange mount for rigid, four-point attachment to equipment frames
• Mounted tapered roller bearing handles combined radial and axial loads
• 2-7/16 inch maximum bore diameter accommodates common industrial shaft sizes
• Cast iron housing provides strength, rigidity, and long service life
• 5-3/8 inch distance between mounting hole centers for standard bolt-pattern fitment
• 5/8 inch bolt size for mounting hardware compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit flanged bearing for industrial and commercial rotating equipment requiring a Type E 4-bolt flange configuration with a 2-7/16 inch bore and 5-3/8 inch mounting hole center spacing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright, mechanical technician, or licensed HVAC technician. De-energize and lock out all power to the driven equipment before removing or installing the bearing assembly. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before torquing the 5/8 inch mounting bolts. Verify shaft alignment after installation before returning equipment to service.
