Browning 767878 Pillow Block Bearing 15/16 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767878 is a VPS 200 Series pillow block bearing designed for industrial and commercial power transmission applications. It features a 15/16 inch bore with a straight bore type and a set screw locking mechanism to secure the shaft. The cast iron housing provides durable support under load, with a static load capacity of 1,651 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,801 pounds. The bearing insert is manufactured from 52100 bearing steel. This unit is installed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial technicians working on conveyor systems, fans, pumps, and similar rotating equipment.

This pillow block is suited for light to medium industrial applications where a two-bolt, surface-mounted bearing support is required. The VPS 200 Series is commonly used in HVAC fan assemblies, agricultural equipment, and general manufacturing machinery. The 5-1/2 inch overall length and 2-13/16 inch overall height make it appropriate for standard mounting configurations where vertical clearance is limited. The 4-1/8 inch center-to-center mounting hole distance simplifies bolt pattern layout during installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance technician. De-energize all equipment and lock out or tag out the drive before beginning bearing replacement. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before torquing the mounting bolts, and verify shaft alignment after installation to prevent premature wear. Set screws should be tightened per standard practice for the shaft diameter using appropriate Allen key tooling.
