Browning 767293 2-bolt Flange Bearing 5/8 Inch Id

Product Description

The BROWNING 767293 is a 2-bolt flange bearing unit designed for light-to-medium duty shaft support in industrial and mechanical drive applications. It accepts a 5/8 inch bore and uses an eccentric locking collar to secure the shaft without set screws, reducing shaft damage. The cast iron housing measures 3-7/8 inches overall length by 2-1/8 inches overall height, with mounting hole centers spaced 3 inches apart. The 52100 steel insert delivers a static load capacity of 1,444 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,611 pounds. This unit is installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors in conveyor, fan, pump, and general power transmission assemblies.

This flange bearing is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical systems where a standard 2-bolt mounting pattern is required. Typical applications include conveyor frames, blower shafts, auger drives, and similar rotating equipment. The 5/8 inch bore accommodates common shaft sizes found in HVAC fan assemblies, agricultural equipment, and material handling machinery. The compact footprint and standard bolt pattern make it a direct drop-in for worn or failed flange units of the same bore and mounting dimensions.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement 2-bolt flange bearing for applications requiring a 5/8 inch bore, 3 inch mounting hole center spacing, and a 3/8 inch bolt pattern in cast iron housing construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified millwrights or maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out all power to the driven equipment before removing or installing any bearing unit. Ensure the shaft is clean and free of burrs before seating the bore, and torque mounting bolts evenly to prevent housing distortion. Verify shaft alignment before tightening the eccentric lock collar to avoid premature bearing wear.
