Browning 767688 Pillow Block Bearing 1-15/16 in Id Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767688 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing designed for general industrial power transmission applications. It houses a ball insert bearing with a 1-15/16 inch straight bore and uses an eccentric locking collar to secure the shaft. The housing is cast iron, and the insert is manufactured from 52100 bearing steel. Static load capacity is 5,216 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 7,889 pounds, making it a solid choice for moderate-to-heavy duty rotating shaft applications. It is part of the VPLE 200 Series and is installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and industrial mechanics working on conveyor systems, fans, pumps, and similar rotating equipment.

This bearing is suited for industrial and commercial machinery requiring reliable shaft support in standard pillow block configurations. The two-bolt base mounts to a flat surface with 6-3/16 inches between mounting hole centers, simplifying alignment and installation. With a maximum rated speed of 3,000 RPM, it is appropriate for a wide range of motor-driven equipment operating in manufacturing, agricultural, and material handling environments. The VPLE 200 Series is a commonly specified bearing family for replacement and new-build shaft support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or qualified maintenance technician. Lock out and tag out all power sources and relieve any stored mechanical energy before removing or installing this bearing. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before torquing the base bolts, and verify shaft alignment before securing the eccentric locking collar. Follow applicable ANSI and OSHA machine guarding requirements during installation and commissioning.
