Browning 767779 2-bolt Flange Bearing 1 Inch Id

Product Description

The BROWNING 767779 is a 2-bolt flange bearing unit in the VF2E 100 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 1,651 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,801 pounds. The 1-inch bore accepts standard shafting and uses an eccentric lock collar for secure shaft engagement. An eccentric lock design allows straightforward installation without specialized tooling, and the unit requires periodic lubrication to maintain rated performance. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and HVAC equipment installers commonly specify this bearing type for fan shafts, blower assemblies, and conveyor drives.

The BROWNING 767779 is suited for light- to medium-duty industrial and commercial applications where a two-bolt surface-mount bearing is required. Typical installations include belt-driven fan assemblies, material handling equipment, and pump mounts. The 2-bolt flange configuration allows the unit to mount flat against a machine frame or structural surface, making it practical for both new equipment builds and replacement service work. Maximum rated speed is 3,500 RPM, making it appropriate for most standard motor and blower drive configurations found in HVAC and mechanical systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install 2-bolt flange bearing for equipment requiring a 1-inch bore, 2-bolt flange mount in the VF2E 100 Series configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. Shut down and lock out all power to the driven equipment before replacing or installing this bearing. Align the housing to the mounting surface before fully tightening the 7/16-inch mounting bolts, and confirm shaft alignment is within acceptable tolerances prior to final torque. Lubricate the bearing insert per the manufacturer schedule before initial startup and at regular service intervals.
