Browning 767476 VPLS-223 Pillow Block Bearing 1-7/16 in Id

Product Description

The BROWNING 767476 is the VPLS-223 two-bolt pillow block bearing, a cast iron housed bearing unit designed to support rotating shafts in industrial and mechanical drive applications. The bearing features a 1-7/16 inch bore with a straight through-bore profile and a 52100 bearing steel ball insert secured by a set screw lock. It carries a static load capacity of 3,493 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 5,782 pounds, making it suitable for moderate-to-heavy radial load applications. Rated to 4,000 RPM maximum, this unit is a standard Series VPLS 200 replacement or new-installation bearing commonly specified by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors.

This pillow block is suited for use in conveyor systems, fan shafts, pump drives, and general industrial machinery where a two-bolt mount and standard pillow block envelope are required. The 5-inch distance between mounting hole centers and overall height of 3-5/8 inches fit common baseplate layouts in HVAC fan assemblies, agricultural equipment, and light manufacturing machinery. The cast iron housing provides rigid support in fixed-mount installations on steel or concrete bases.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or qualified maintenance technicians. Shut down and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing bearing units. Align the shaft carefully before tightening set screws, and verify that the mounting surface is flat and level to prevent housing distortion. Follow applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures throughout the service procedure.
