Browning 767865 2-bolt Flange Bearing 1-15/16 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767865 is a 2-bolt flange bearing unit from the VF2S 100 Series, designed to support rotating shafts in light-to-medium industrial and mechanical drive applications. The bearing features a 1-15/16 inch bore, a cast iron housing, and a 52100 steel ball insert secured by a set screw lock. It carries a static load capacity of 5,216 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 7,889 pounds, making it well-suited for demanding conveyor, fan, and pump shaft installations. Licensed mechanical contractors, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This flange unit fits applications requiring a 2-bolt mounting pattern with center-to-center bolt spacing of 6-3/16 inches. The overall length measures 7-7/16 inches and the overall height is 4-9/16 inches. It is commonly installed in conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, material handling machinery, and HVAC fan shaft assemblies where a rigid, rebuildable flange mount is required. Lubrication is required during installation and as part of routine maintenance. Maximum rated speed is 2,000 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. Ensure the shaft and mounting surface are clean and free of burrs before seating the bearing. Tighten set screws to the fastener manufacturer's specification using a calibrated hex key, and de-energize all connected equipment before beginning work. Apply appropriate grease to the fitting at installation and follow a regular relubrication schedule based on operating conditions.
