Browning 767821 Pillow Block Bearing 0.75 Inch Id

Product Description

The BROWNING 767821 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing in the VPLE 200 Series, designed to support rotating shafts in industrial and mechanical drive applications. It features a straight-bore ball bearing insert with a 0.75 inch inside diameter, machined from 52100 bearing steel and housed in a cast iron pillow block. The eccentric lock collar secures the insert to the shaft without set screws through the inner race. With a static load capacity of 1,444 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,611 pounds, this unit handles moderate radial loads at speeds up to 6,500 RPM. Licensed HVAC, mechanical, and industrial technicians install this type of bearing in fan assemblies, conveyor systems, and pump drives.

This pillow block is suited for light-to-medium duty power transmission applications where a pre-mounted, two-bolt housing simplifies installation. The VPLE 200 Series is commonly specified in commercial HVAC fan decks, agricultural equipment, and general industrial machinery. The cast iron housing provides rigidity and resistance to deflection under sustained radial loads. The 3-25/32 inch center-to-center bolt spacing and 1-1/4 inch base-to-center height make this unit a direct fit for standard mounting plates and channel bases already drilled to VPLE 200 dimensions.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for VPLE 200 Series pillow block bearings requiring a 0.75 inch bore, two-bolt mounting, and eccentric lock collar configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed millwright or mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing any bearing unit. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and fasteners are torqued evenly to prevent housing distortion. Verify shaft diameter and surface finish are within bearing manufacturer tolerances before seating the eccentric collar.
