Browning 767835 Pillow Block Bearing 5/8 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767835 is a cast iron pillow block bearing in the VPS 100 Series, designed to support rotating shafts in fixed-mount industrial and mechanical equipment. The bearing insert is a ball-type with a straight bore measuring 5/8 inch inside diameter and is secured with a set screw lock. Static load capacity is 1,444 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 2,611 pounds, making this unit suitable for moderate-load, continuous-duty applications. Maximum operating speed is 7,500 RPM. The insert is manufactured from 52100 bearing steel. This unit is installed by mechanical contractors, millwrights, and equipment service technicians.

The 767835 pillow block is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical systems where a two-bolt, base-mount bearing housing is required. Typical applications include fan shaft support in HVAC air handling equipment, blower assemblies, conveyor systems, and similar rotating machinery. The overall assembly measures 4-7/8 inches in overall length and 2-7/32 inches in overall height, with a base-to-center height of 1-3/16 inches and mounting hole center-to-center distance of 3-7/16 inches. No specific compatible model numbers are provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out all power to the equipment before removing or installing the bearing assembly, following LOTO procedures per applicable safety codes. Align the shaft carefully before tightening the set screw to prevent premature bearing wear. Ensure mounting surfaces are flat and fasteners are torqued to the equipment manufacturer's specifications.
