Browning 767673 Pillow Block Bearing 0.5 Inch Id

Product Description

The BROWNING 767673 is a cast iron pillow block bearing in the VPLS 100 series, designed to support rotating shafts in light-to-medium duty industrial and mechanical applications. It accepts a 0.5 inch straight bore shaft and uses a set screw locking mechanism to secure the shaft in place. The bearing insert is made from 52100 bearing steel and is rated for a static load capacity of 1,444 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,611 pounds. With a two-bolt mounting configuration and a maximum speed rating of 5,000 RPM, this unit suits a wide range of drive and conveyor system installations. Licensed tradespeople and millwrights handling belt drives, fan assemblies, and light conveyor lines commonly spec this type of pillow block.

The BROWNING 767673 fits installations where a compact, low-profile pillow block is needed. The overall length of 4.875 inches and overall height of 2.094 inches make it suitable for space-constrained mounting surfaces. The base-to-center height of 1.063 inches and the 3.625 inch distance between mounting hole centers allow straightforward alignment on standard steel or fabricated frames. This bearing is appropriate for residential and light commercial HVAC fan shaft applications, as well as general mechanical equipment where a two-bolt flanged housing is called for.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright, HVAC technician, or qualified maintenance professional. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing any bearing assembly. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before torquing fasteners, and verify shaft alignment before final tightening of set screws. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable ANSI or OSHA lockout-tagout procedures throughout the service procedure.
