Browning 767483 Pillow Block Bearing 2-3/16 in Id

Product Description

The BROWNING 767483 is a cast iron pillow block bearing unit designed to support rotating shafts in industrial and mechanical drive applications. Built around the VPLS-235 insert, it accepts a 2-3/16 inch bore and delivers a static load capacity of 6,601 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 9,752 pounds. The bearing insert is made from 52100 steel and is secured to the shaft via a set screw locking arrangement. At 8 pounds, this is a robust unit suited for conveyor systems, fans, blowers, and similar rotating equipment. Licensed millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial equipment technicians are the typical installers.

This pillow block is well suited for medium-duty industrial drive applications where a two-bolt base mount is required. The 6-15/16 inch distance between mounting hole centers and an overall height of 4-29/32 inches make it a practical drop-in for standard pillow block footprints in that bore range. The 2-7/16 inch base-to-center height positions the shaft centerline at a consistent elevation common to this bearing class. Typical installations include material handling conveyors, agricultural equipment, industrial fans, and general power transmission assemblies.

Key Features

• 2-3/16 inch bore ID accommodates common mid-range shaft sizes
• 6,601 pound static load capacity and 9,752 pound dynamic load capacity
• 52100 steel bearing insert for durability in rotating load applications
• Cast iron housing resists deflection under moderate to heavy radial loads
• Set screw locking type provides positive shaft retention without adapter sleeves
• Two-bolt mounting pattern with 6-15/16 inch center-to-center spacing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pillow block bearing for shaft diameters of 2-3/16 inches in standard two-bolt pillow block applications with a 6-15/16 inch bolt pattern.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance mechanic. De-energize and lock out the drive equipment before mounting or removing the bearing. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before torquing the base bolts, and verify shaft alignment before final tightening of the set screws. Consult the applicable machinery manufacturer documentation and ANSI/ABMA standards for bearing installation procedures.
