Browning 767569 2-bolt Flange Bearing 0.5 Inch Id Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767569 is a 2-bolt flange bearing unit from the VF2S 100 Series, designed to support rotating shafts in light-to-medium industrial and commercial mechanical applications. The unit features a 0.5 inch inside diameter bore with a set screw lock and houses a 52100 steel ball bearing insert in a cast iron flange body. It carries a static load capacity of 1,444 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,611 pounds, making it suitable for moderate radial load applications at speeds up to 5,000 RPM. Licensed mechanics and millwrights install this bearing during shaft assembly, conveyor builds, fan drive systems, and similar rotating equipment service work.

The VF2S-108 flange unit is used in residential and commercial mechanical systems wherever a 2-bolt flange mount is required at a 0.5 inch shaft diameter. Typical installations include HVAC fan shaft assemblies, light conveyor systems, pump drive trains, and general power transmission equipment. The 3 inch bolt hole center-to-center spacing and 3/8 inch bolt size fit standard flange mounting pads. Lubrication is required for this unit, so it is appropriate for installations where a grease maintenance schedule is in place.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install 2-bolt flange bearing for equipment requiring a 0.5 inch bore shaft mount in the VF2S 100 Series fitment range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. Shut down and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing any bearing unit per LOTO procedures. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before torquing flange bolts, and align the shaft carefully to avoid side-loading the bearing insert. Apply grease to the fitting before initial startup and maintain a lubrication schedule per the equipment manufacturer's service interval.
