Browning 767650 2-bolt Flange Bearing 7/8 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767650 is a cast iron 2-bolt flange bearing unit in the VF2S 200 series, designed for industrial rotating shaft applications. It accepts a 7/8 inch shaft with a set screw lock and houses a 52100 steel ball bearing insert. The unit measures 4-7/8 inches overall length by 2-3/4 inches overall height, with a static load capacity of 1,651 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,801 pounds. Licensed HVAC and mechanical technicians, millwrights, and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of unit where reliable shaft support and straightforward bolt-down mounting are required.

This flange bearing is suited for light-to-medium industrial and commercial equipment where a standard 2-bolt flange mount is specified. Typical installations include conveyor systems, blower shafts, pump assemblies, and fan drive applications. The set screw lock design accommodates straightforward shaft engagement, and the grease-lubricated insert is appropriate for moderate-speed continuous duty. The VF2S 200 series is a widely recognized frame in industrial bearing applications requiring compact footprint and predictable load ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified millwright, maintenance technician, or mechanical contractor. Disconnect and lock out all power to the driven equipment before removing or installing any bearing unit. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before torquing fasteners, and verify shaft alignment before final tightening. Lubricate the bearing insert per the equipment manufacturer's service interval using an appropriate grease grade for the operating speed and temperature.
