Browning 767362 4-bolt Flange Bearing 1 Inch Id Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767362 is a 4-bolt flange bearing unit in the VF4E 200 series, designed for industrial and mechanical drive applications where a secure, rigid shaft mount is required. Built with a cast iron housing and a 52100 steel ball bearing insert, it accepts a 1-inch inside diameter shaft and handles a static load capacity of 1,651 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,801 pounds. The eccentric lock collar secures the insert to the shaft without set screws into the shaft itself. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers for this type of flange unit.

This flange bearing is suited for conveyor systems, fan shafts, agricultural equipment, and general power transmission assemblies in both light industrial and commercial settings. The 4-bolt mounting pattern provides stability under radial and moderate thrust loads. The overall length and height are each 3.75 inches, making it a compact unit for tight drive train layouts. Lubrication is required for this bearing, so it is appropriate for installations where a maintenance schedule is in place.

Key Features

• 1-inch inside diameter shaft bore with eccentric lock collar for positive shaft retention
• Static load capacity of 1,651 pounds and dynamic load capacity of 2,801 pounds
• Cast iron housing resists deflection under load in industrial mounting environments
• 52100 steel bearing insert for reliable rolling element performance
• Maximum rated speed of 5,500 RPM suitable for fan and light conveyor drive shafts
• 4-bolt flange pattern with 2.75-inch center-to-center bolt hole spacing for stable base mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit unit for applications requiring a 4-bolt flange bearing with a 1-inch bore in the VF4E 200 series configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance technician with power fully locked out and tagged per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures before mounting. Align the flange squarely to the mounting surface before tightening the four flange bolts to avoid preloading the bearing insert. The eccentric lock collar must be tightened in the direction of shaft rotation. Lubrication fittings should be charged at initial installation and at regular service intervals per the maintenance schedule.
