Browning 767364 Pillow Block Bearing 1 Inch Bore Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767364 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing in the VPE 200 Series, designed for industrial shaft support applications across HVAC, mechanical, and light manufacturing equipment. The unit features a 1 inch straight bore with an eccentric lock collar, housed in cast iron for durability in demanding environments. The bearing insert is made from 52100 bearing steel and delivers a static load capacity of 1,651 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,801 pounds. At a compact 2.8125 inches overall height and 5.5 inches overall length, this block suits mid-load rotating shaft assemblies where a reliable, fixed-housing mount is required. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and HVAC equipment technicians are the typical installers.

This pillow block is used in residential and commercial HVAC blower assemblies, fan shaft mounts, conveyor systems, and general power transmission setups where a two-bolt base mount is the standard configuration. The eccentric locking collar allows shaft engagement without requiring a keyed shaft, which simplifies installation in retrofit and OEM replacement scenarios. The unit fits shafts running up to 5,500 RPM, making it suitable for most commercial fan and blower drive applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright, HVAC mechanic, or equipment technician. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before removing or installing any bearing block. Align the housing squarely to the shaft before tightening the mounting bolts, then engage the eccentric lock collar in the direction of shaft rotation. Consult applicable machinery safety standards and manufacturer torque guidance for final fastener seating.
