Browning 767469 Pillow Block Bearing 1-3/8 in Id Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767469 is a cast iron pillow block bearing in the VPS 200 Series, designed to support rotating shafts in industrial and mechanical drive applications. It accepts a 1-3/8 inch straight bore shaft and uses a set screw lock type to secure the shaft in place. The bearing insert is manufactured from 52100 bearing steel and carries a static load capacity of 3,493 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 5,782 pounds. With a maximum rated speed of 4,000 RPM, this unit suits a broad range of moderate- to high-speed shaft support tasks. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of bearing during new equipment builds or scheduled replacements.

This pillow block is suited for use in conveyor systems, fans, pumps, and general industrial power transmission equipment where a two-bolt, base-mounted bearing housing is required. The 5-inch distance between mounting hole centers and the 1-7/8 inch base-to-center height make it a direct-fit option in many existing mounting configurations. It is appropriate for both light commercial and industrial environments where reliable shaft support and easy field replacement are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or mechanical maintenance technicians. Before installation, de-energize and lock out all connected drive equipment per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Align the bearing housing squarely on the mounting surface before tightening fasteners to avoid misalignment loads on the insert. Verify set screw engagement on the shaft flat or keyway after final positioning.
