Browning 767761 Pillow Block Bearing 0.75 in Id

Product Description

The BROWNING 767761 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing in the VPLE 100 series, designed for shaft support applications in industrial and mechanical drive systems. It accepts a 0.75-inch straight bore shaft and uses an eccentric lock collar to secure the bearing insert to the shaft. The cast iron housing provides rigid support and durability in demanding service environments. With a static load capacity of 1,444 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,611 pounds, this unit is suited for moderate-to-heavy radial load applications. Rated to 4,000 RPM, it performs well in conveyor, fan, pump, and general power transmission assemblies. Mechanical contractors, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

The BROWNING 767761 pillow block fits applications where a two-bolt foot-mount bearing housing is required to support a 0.75-inch diameter shaft. It is a common fit for conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, light industrial machinery, and HVAC blower shaft assemblies. The VPLE 100 series designation identifies the housing profile and insert pairing. Overall length is 5 inches and overall height is 2-15/32 inches, making it compatible with standard two-bolt mounting footprints in that size class. The bolt mounting hole centers are spaced 3-25/32 inches apart, and the base-to-center height is 1-1/4 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by millwrights or qualified maintenance technicians. Before mounting, ensure the drive system is fully de-energized and locked out per LOTO procedures. Align the housing squarely to the shaft before tightening the mounting bolts, and set the eccentric lock collar in the direction of shaft rotation before securing. Verify shaft diameter tolerance and surface finish meet the bearing manufacturer's requirements prior to assembly.
