Browning 767870 2-bolt Flange Bearing 1-11/16 Inch Id

Product Description

The BROWNING 767870 is a 2-bolt flange bearing unit from the VF2E 100 Series, designed for industrial shaft support applications where reliable radial load capacity and secure mounting are required. It features a 1-11/16 inch inside diameter and a cast iron housing that encloses a 52100 steel ball bearing insert. Static load capacity is 5,139 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 7,901 pounds. The eccentric lock collar secures the bearing to the shaft without set screws damaging the shaft surface. Licensed millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial technicians are the typical installers of this unit.

This flange bearing is suited for general industrial power transmission applications including conveyor systems, material handling equipment, fans, blowers, and light agricultural machinery. The 2-bolt flange mount allows installation on vertical or horizontal flat surfaces where shaft end or mid-span support is needed. The VF2E 100 Series is a standard catalog line commonly found in light-to-medium duty rotating equipment across manufacturing and processing environments. Lubrication is required and should be performed at regular service intervals per equipment maintenance schedules.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation unit for industrial rotating equipment requiring a 2-bolt flange bearing with a 1-11/16 inch bore in the VF2E 100 Series form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified maintenance mechanic or millwright with power fully de-energized and locked out per LOTO procedures before mounting. Align the bearing housing to the shaft centerline before tightening the 9/16 inch mounting bolts to prevent premature wear. Engage the eccentric lock collar in the direction of shaft rotation to ensure positive retention. Apply the appropriate grease type and quantity through the lubrication fitting before initial startup and at scheduled maintenance intervals.
