Browning 767540 VPE-219 Pillow Block Bearing 1-3/16 in Id

Product Description

The BROWNING 767540 is a VPE-219 series pillow block bearing designed for industrial shaft support applications. It features a 1-3/16 inch straight bore with an eccentric lock collar, a cast iron housing, and a 52100 bearing steel ball insert. The unit carries a static load capacity of 2,567 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 4,381 pounds, making it suitable for moderate-to-heavy radial load duty. With a maximum rated speed of 4,500 RPM, this bearing suits a range of driven equipment including fans, conveyors, pumps, and agitators. Millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial technicians are the primary installers.

The VPE-219 pillow block is used in light industrial and commercial mechanical systems where a two-bolt base-mount bearing is required. The 4-5/8 inch center-to-center bolt spacing and 1-11/16 inch base-to-center height make it compatible with standard mounting plates and fabricated steel frames. It fits applications where shaft alignment flexibility is needed and where periodic re-lubrication access is part of the maintenance routine. The VPE 200 series is commonly specified on replacement and new-build equipment frames requiring a compact, reliable pillow block unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance mechanic. Disconnect and lock out all power to the driven shaft before removing or installing the bearing. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and the bolt holes are properly aligned before torquing fasteners. The eccentric collar should be locked in the direction of shaft rotation to maintain secure shaft engagement during operation.
