Product Description

The BROWNING 766196 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing designed for industrial shaft support applications. It houses a ball-type bearing insert made from 52100 bearing steel, secured via an eccentric lock collar. The bore is a straight 2.4375-inch (2-7/16 inch) inside diameter, rated for a static load capacity of 8,150 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 11,789 pounds. The cast iron housing delivers rugged durability in demanding rotating-equipment environments. With a maximum rated speed of 2,500 RPM, this unit suits moderate- to high-load drive train applications typical in HVAC fan assemblies, conveyor systems, and industrial equipment.

The 766196 is a VPB 200 Series pillow block intended for shaft support in commercial and industrial settings. It is commonly installed by millwrights, HVAC mechanics, and industrial maintenance technicians wherever a rigid two-bolt mount is required. The mounting hole center-to-center distance of 7-13/32 inches (7.9375 inches) and a base-to-center height of 2-3/4 inches allow straightforward alignment on standard steel or fabricated bases. Overall length measures 9.5 inches and overall height measures 5.5625 inches (5-9/16 inches).
