Browning 767879 Pillow Block Bearing 1-11/16 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767879 is a VPE-227 pillow block bearing designed for industrial shaft support applications requiring a reliable, fixed-housing mounted bearing unit. It features a 1-11/16 inch straight bore with an eccentric lock collar to secure the shaft. The cast iron housing provides durability in demanding environments. Static load capacity is 5,139 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 7,901 pounds, making it well suited for moderate to heavy radial load service. The bearing insert is manufactured from 52100 bearing steel. This unit is installed by millwrights, industrial mechanics, and maintenance technicians in conveyor, fan, pump, and general power transmission applications.

The 767879 pillow block is used in two-bolt base-mounted configurations on equipment frames, structural channels, or mounting plates. It is common in light to medium industrial machinery including conveyors, blower shafts, agricultural equipment, and material handling systems. The overall assembly height of 4-1/4 inches and overall length of 7-3/8 inches fit standard mounting footprints in the VPE 200 series. The 5-21/32 inch center-to-center bolt hole spacing and 2-1/8 inch base-to-center height allow direct replacement or new installation on properly drilled mounting surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified millwrights or industrial maintenance mechanics. De-energize and lock out all power to the equipment before removing or installing bearing units per OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and free of debris before torquing fasteners. Set the eccentric lock collar in the direction of shaft rotation and secure the locking screw fully to prevent collar walk under load.
