Browning 767323 Pillow Block Bearing 1-15/16 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767323 is a cast iron pillow block bearing designed to support rotating shafts in industrial and mechanical drive applications. Carrying the VPE-131 designation, this unit accepts a 1-15/16 inch shaft bore and uses an eccentric locking collar to secure the shaft in place. The bearing insert is manufactured from 52100 steel, a high-carbon chromium alloy well suited for radial and thrust load conditions. Static load capacity is rated at 5,216 pounds and dynamic load capacity reaches 7,889 pounds, making it appropriate for moderate-to-heavy duty conveyor, fan, and drive shaft installations. Licensed millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This pillow block is suited for industrial machinery, HVAC belt-drive systems, agricultural equipment, and general power transmission applications where a two-bolt mounted bearing is required. The unit measures 8 inches overall length and 4-9/16 inches overall height, with a base-to-center height of 2-1/4 inches and mounting hole centers spaced 6-3/16 inches apart. The cast iron housing provides rigidity and corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments. It ships as a single unit and is used wherever a standard pillow block configuration is required on a 1-15/16 inch shaft.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit pillow block bearing for two-bolt mounted applications requiring a 1-15/16 inch bore with eccentric locking collar retention.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician familiar with shaft alignment and bearing mounting procedures. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing any bearing components. Align the housing squarely on the mounting surface and fasten bolts evenly to prevent housing distortion. Do not use impact tools to drive the bearing onto the shaft; use proper bearing installation tooling to avoid damaging the insert or locking collar.
