Browning 767337 Pillow Block Bearing 1-7/16 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767337 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing in the VPLE 100 Series, designed to support rotating shafts in industrial and mechanical drive applications. The housing is cast iron with a 52100 bearing steel insert, offering a static load capacity of 3,493 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 5,782 pounds. The straight bore measures 1-7/16 inches in diameter, and the eccentric lock type provides a secure shaft grip without set screws cutting into the shaft surface. Licensed HVAC, mechanical, and industrial technicians install this style of bearing in belt-drive systems, conveyor assemblies, fan shafts, and similar rotating equipment.

This pillow block is suited for moderate-speed applications with a maximum rated speed of 2,500 RPM. It fits into two-bolt mounting configurations on equipment frames, fan decks, and machinery bases where consistent shaft alignment and load support are required. The cast iron housing resists deformation under load in both indoor and light-duty industrial environments. The VPLE 100 Series design is a recognized standard format for replacement and retrofit work on a wide range of belt-driven mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Straight bore at 1-7/16 inches accommodates standard shaft diameters
• Maximum operating speed of 2,500 RPM suits most belt-drive and fan shaft applications
• Two-bolt mounting pattern with 5 inches center-to-center hole spacing for straightforward frame attachment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pillow block bearing in the VPLE 100 Series, suitable for two-bolt mounting applications requiring a 1-7/16 inch straight bore and cast iron housing.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of pillow block bearings is typically performed by millwrights, mechanical contractors, or qualified industrial technicians. De-energize and lock out all equipment per OSHA LOTO procedures before removing or installing the bearing. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and the bolt holes are aligned before torquing fasteners. Do not force the bearing onto a shaft that is corroded or undersized, as this can damage the insert and reduce service life.
