Browning 767630 2-bolt Flange Bearing 1/2 Inch Id Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767630 is a 2-bolt flange bearing unit from the VF2S 200 Series, designed for shaft support in industrial and mechanical drive applications. It combines a cast iron housing with a 52100 steel ball bearing insert, providing a static load capacity of 1,444 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,611 pounds. The 0.5 inch inside diameter bore accepts standard half-inch shafts, and a set screw lock secures the shaft in place. With a maximum rated speed of 7,500 RPM, this unit suits moderate- to high-speed rotating equipment. Lubrication is required for proper operation and service life. Mechanical contractors, millwrights, and HVAC equipment technicians are the typical installers.

This bearing is suited for use in blower assemblies, conveyor systems, fan shaft mounts, and general industrial drive train applications where a compact, bolt-down flange mount is required. The 2-bolt mounting pattern with 3-inch center-to-center spacing accepts 3/8-inch bolts, making it straightforward to install on standard equipment frames and mounting plates. Its cast iron housing holds up in typical indoor mechanical environments where exposure to direct moisture or corrosives is limited.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, or HVAC equipment technicians. De-energize and lock out all power to the equipment before removing or installing bearing units. Verify shaft diameter and alignment before tightening set screws, and ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean to prevent housing distortion. Lubricate the bearing insert before initial startup and follow a regular re-lubrication schedule appropriate to the operating speed and load.
