Browning 767334 Pillow Block Bearing 2-3/16 in Id VPLE-135

Product Description

The BROWNING 767334 is a cast iron pillow block bearing designed for industrial shaft support applications requiring reliable radial load capacity. This unit carries the VPLE-135 designation and features a 2-3/16 inch inside diameter bore with an eccentric lock collar for secure shaft engagement. Static load capacity is rated at 6,601 pounds and dynamic load capacity reaches 9,752 pounds, making it well-suited for moderate-to-heavy duty rotating equipment. The 52100 steel insert provides hardness and fatigue resistance. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This pillow block is used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications where a mounted bearing unit is required to support a rotating shaft on a flat surface. Typical installations include conveyor systems, fans, pumps, and general power transmission equipment. The overall length measures 8-13/16 inches and the overall height is 4-29/32 inches, fitting standard mounting footprints in that size class. Mounting hole centers are spaced 6-15/16 inches apart, and the base-to-center height is 2-7/16 inches, simplifying alignment during installation.

Key Features

• 2-3/16 inch inside diameter bore fits common mid-range shaft sizes
• Eccentric lock collar secures the bearing to the shaft without set screws damaging the shaft surface
• 6,601 pound static load capacity and 9,752 pound dynamic load capacity for demanding applications
• Cast iron housing provides rigidity and resistance to deflection under load
• 52100 steel bearing insert delivers high hardness and extended fatigue life
• Standardized mounting hole spacing of 6-15/16 inches simplifies drop-in replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation pillow block bearing for industrial shaft support applications requiring a 2-3/16 inch bore with eccentric lock and cast iron housing construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or industrial maintenance technician. Lock out and tag out all energy sources before handling or replacing any bearing unit. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before torquing fasteners, and verify shaft diameter and alignment before engaging the eccentric lock collar. Consult applicable ANSI and OSHA safety standards for machinery guarding and maintenance procedures.
