Browning 767349 Pillow Block Bearing 1-7/16 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767349 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing in the VPE 100 Series, designed to support rotating shafts in industrial and mechanical drive applications. It houses a ball bearing insert made from 52100 bearing steel and features an eccentric lock collar for shaft retention. The housing is cast iron, giving it durability under continuous load. Static load capacity is 3,493 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 5,782 pounds, making it well suited for moderate-to-heavy duty conveyor, fan, and pump shaft applications. Maximum rated speed is 2,500 RPM. Installation is performed by maintenance mechanics and millwrights in commercial and light industrial settings.

The VPE 100 Series pillow block is used in a wide range of industrial machinery including conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, fans, and material handling drives. The 1-7/16 inch straight bore accepts standard shaft diameters without modification. The two-bolt mounting pattern with 5 inches center-to-center spacing simplifies drop-in replacement on existing frames and channel bases. The base-to-center height of 1.875 inches and overall height of 3-11/16 inches allow for straightforward alignment with matched components on the same shaft line.

Compatibility

Designed as a VPE 100 Series pillow block replacement for applications requiring a 1-7/16 inch straight bore, two-bolt cast iron housing with 5 inch mounting hole center spacing. Confirm shaft diameter, bolt pattern, and base-to-center height against existing installation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Power down and lock out all connected drive equipment before removing or installing the bearing. Clean and inspect the shaft for wear, scoring, or out-of-round condition before seating the new bearing. Align the pillow block squarely to the shaft centerline before torquing mounting fasteners to prevent premature wear. Eccentric collar should be tightened in the direction of shaft rotation per standard lockup procedure.
