Browning 765082 Pillow Block Bearing 2-7/16 Inch Bore

Product Description

The BROWNING 765082 is a cast iron pillow block bearing in the VPLS 200 series, designed for industrial rotating shaft applications. It accepts a 2-7/16 inch straight bore shaft and uses a set screw locking mechanism to secure the bearing insert in place. The housing is cast iron with a 52100 bearing steel insert, rated for a static load capacity of 8,150 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 11,789 pounds. The unit stands 5-1/2 inches in overall height and measures 9-1/2 inches in overall length, making it a solid, full-size unit suited to moderate to heavy-duty shaft support duty. Installation requires two mounting bolts.

This pillow block is used in industrial and commercial mechanical systems where shaft support, alignment, and load handling are critical. Typical applications include conveyor systems, fans, blowers, and general power transmission equipment. The two-bolt mounting pattern and standard VPLS 200 series dimensions make it a straightforward drop-in fit for new builds and replacement applications in manufacturing, processing, and HVAC equipment rooms. Maximum rated shaft speed is 2,500 RPM, keeping it appropriate for moderate-speed equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed millwright or mechanical technician. Shut down and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing this bearing. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and the shaft is properly aligned before torquing mounting bolts. Do not over-tighten set screws, as this can damage the shaft surface or cause premature bearing failure.
