Browning 767425 VPS-232 Pillow Block Bearing 2 Inch Bore

Product Description

The BROWNING 767425 is a VPS-232 series pillow block bearing designed for industrial shaft support applications requiring a 2-inch straight bore. It uses a ball bearing insert made from 52100 bearing steel, secured by a set screw locking mechanism. The cast iron housing provides rigid, durable mounting in demanding environments. With a static load capacity of 6,601 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 9,752 pounds, this unit handles significant radial loads. Rated to a maximum of 2,500 RPM, it suits moderate-speed drive and conveyor applications. Licensed mechanical and industrial technicians typically specify and install this component.

This pillow block is suited for two-bolt mounting in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, drive shafts, and general power transmission equipment. The VPS 200 series is a standard pillow block configuration commonly found in agricultural equipment, material handling systems, and light-to-medium industrial machinery. The 6-15/16 inch distance between mounting hole centers and a base-to-center height of 2.5 inches make it straightforward to fit into standard mounting arrangements. It is installed on flat, rigid mounting surfaces where the shaft passes horizontally through the housing.

Key Features

• 52100 bearing steel insert for high load and fatigue resistance
• Set screw locking mechanism for positive shaft retention
• Cast iron housing for rigid, vibration-resistant mounting
• 6,601 lb static and 9,752 lb dynamic load capacities
• 2-bolt mounting with 6-15/16 inch center-to-center hole spacing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit pillow block bearing for industrial shaft support applications requiring a 2-inch bore in the VPS 200 series configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician with power fully isolated and locked out before beginning work. Mounting surface must be flat and rigid to prevent housing distortion and premature bearing wear. Set screws should be tightened to manufacturer torque guidelines using the appropriate hex key. Ensure shaft and housing are properly aligned before final tightening to avoid side-loading the bearing insert.
