Browning 767846 Pillow Block Bearing 1.5 in Id Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767846 is a cast iron pillow block bearing in the VPLS 200 series, designed to support rotating shaft applications in industrial and commercial mechanical systems. It features a 1.5-inch straight bore with set screw locking and a 52100 bearing steel insert rated for up to 3,500 RPM. Static load capacity is 4,467 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 7,340 pounds, making it well suited for moderate-to-heavy duty power transmission setups. Licensed millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial equipment technicians are the typical installers for this type of bearing unit.

This pillow block is appropriate for use in conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, pumping stations, fans, blowers, and general industrial machinery requiring a two-bolt base-mounted bearing. The VPLS 200 series configuration positions the shaft center 1.9375 inches above the mounting surface, with 5.375 inches between mounting hole centers, giving a stable and predictable footprint for new installations and direct replacements alike. It is packaged individually and sold in single-unit quantities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance mechanic. De-energize and lock out all power to the connected drive system before removing or installing any bearing unit. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before torquing fasteners, and confirm shaft alignment after installation to avoid premature wear. Follow the equipment manufacturer and applicable ANSI/ASME safety standards for shaft and bearing service.
