Browning 767780 Pillow Block Bearing 1 Inch Id Vpe 100

Product Description

The BROWNING 767780 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing in the VPE 100 series, designed for industrial shaft support applications in conveyor, pump, fan, and general power-transmission equipment. The bearing features a 1-inch straight bore with eccentric lock collar, a cast iron housing, and a 52100 bearing steel insert. Static load capacity is 1,651 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 2,801 pounds, making it appropriate for moderate-duty continuous-rotation applications. Maximum rated speed is 3,500 RPM. Installation is handled by millwrights, mechanical contractors, or maintenance technicians performing equipment assembly or bearing replacement work.

This pillow block is suited for residential and light commercial equipment as well as industrial machinery requiring a compact, two-bolt mounted bearing unit. The VPE 100 series is commonly used in blower assemblies, auger drives, conveyor shafts, and similar rotating equipment where a standard pillow block mount is required. The straight bore and eccentric locking collar allow straightforward shaft installation without specialized tooling beyond standard wrenches and a shaft alignment gauge.

Installation Notes

Shaft and bearing installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. Ensure the drive is fully de-energized and locked out before beginning work. Align the bearing housing to the shaft before tightening mounting bolts, and torque fasteners per the equipment manufacturer's specifications. The eccentric locking collar should be engaged in the direction of shaft rotation and secured before startup.
