Browning 767319 Pillow Block Bearing 1.5 in Id Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767319 is a cast iron pillow block bearing unit in the VPE 100 Series, designed for industrial and mechanical drive applications where shaft support under radial load is required. It accepts a 1.5 inch straight bore shaft and uses a ball bearing insert made from 52100 bearing steel with an eccentric lock collar for positive shaft retention. Static load capacity is 4,467 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 7,340 pounds, making it well suited for moderate-to-heavy duty conveyor, fan, and drive shaft applications. Installation is performed by maintenance mechanics or millwrights as part of routine shaft support and bearing replacement work.

This pillow block is used in industrial equipment where a two-bolt base-mounted bearing is required. The VPE 100 Series configuration fits applications calling for a 5.375 inch center-to-center bolt spacing and a 2 inch base-to-center height. Typical installations include conveyor drives, blower shafts, pump drives, and general power transmission equipment in commercial and industrial settings. Maximum rated speed is 2,500 RPM.

Key Features

• 1.5 inch straight bore accepts standard shaft diameters without additional machining
• 52100 bearing steel insert for durability under continuous radial load
• Eccentric locking collar secures shaft without set screws damaging shaft surface
• Cast iron housing resists deformation under static and dynamic loads
• Two-bolt mounting pattern with 5.375 inch hole center spacing for easy base installation
• Rated to 2,500 RPM for use in moderate-speed drive applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pillow block bearing for industrial power transmission assemblies requiring a two-bolt cast iron unit with a 1.5 inch bore in the VPE 100 Series.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance mechanic. De-energize and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing any bearing unit per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before torquing mounting bolts. Align the bearing to the shaft before fully tightening the eccentric locking collar to prevent premature wear.
