Browning 766182 Pillow Block Bearing 1-3/16 in Vpb 200

Product Description

The BROWNING 766182 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing in the VPB 200 series, designed to support rotating shafts in industrial and mechanical drive applications. The housing is cast iron and the insert is made from 52100 bearing steel, providing reliable load capacity in demanding environments. The straight bore measures 1-3/16 inches ID and uses an eccentric lock collar to secure the shaft. Static load capacity is 2,567 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 4,381 pounds, with a maximum speed rating of 4,500 RPM. Millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors typically install this unit in belt-driven or chain-driven systems across a broad range of industrial settings.

The VPB 200 series pillow block suits residential and light-to-medium industrial machinery where a bolt-on bearing housing is needed to support a horizontal or near-horizontal shaft. Common installations include fans, conveyors, pumps, and agricultural equipment where a standard two-bolt cast iron housing fits the mounting pattern. The 4-5/8-inch center-to-center bolt spacing and 1-11/16-inch base-to-center height allow straightforward drop-in replacement of existing pillow blocks sharing the same footprint. Overall length is 6-3/16 inches and overall height is 3-9/32 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or qualified mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing any bearing unit. Verify shaft diameter, mounting bolt pattern, and alignment before torquing the housing bolts. Do not overtighten the eccentric locking collar; follow the bearing manufacturer's standard assembly procedure to avoid preloading the insert.
