Browning 767392 Pillow Block Bearing 2-7/16 in Id

Product Description

The BROWNING 767392 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing in the VPLE 200 series, designed to support rotating shafts in industrial and mechanical drive applications. The unit features a 2-7/16 inch straight bore with an eccentric lock collar, a cast iron housing, and a 52100 bearing steel ball insert. Static load capacity is 8,150 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 11,789 pounds, making this unit well suited to moderate-to-heavy radial load conditions. The overall assembly measures 9-1/2 inches in length and 5-1/2 inches in overall height. Licensed millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial service technicians are the typical installers for this class of bearing unit.

This pillow block is applied wherever a shaft must be supported at a fixed point on a machine frame or structural base. Common installation environments include conveyor drives, fan shafts, pump drives, agricultural equipment, and general industrial machinery. The VPLE 200 series is sized for mid-range shaft diameters and is rated to a maximum of 2,500 RPM. The two-bolt mounting pattern and cast iron housing make it a practical choice for both new equipment builds and bearing replacements in existing drive trains.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or millwright following the equipment manufacturer's shaft alignment and torque procedures. De-energize and lock out all power to the drive system before removing the existing bearing or mounting the new unit. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before fastening the housing bolts to prevent housing distortion. The eccentric lock collar must be set with the shaft rotating in the intended direction of operation before final tightening.
