Browning 767885 Pillow Block Bearing 0.75 in Id Cast Iron

Product Description

The BROWNING 767885 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing in the VPE 200 series, designed to support rotating shafts in light-to-medium-duty industrial and mechanical applications. It features a 0.75-inch straight bore, a cast iron housing, and a 52100 bearing steel ball insert with an eccentric locking collar. The housing spans 5 inches overall length and stands 2-17/32 inches overall height, making it a compact, bolt-in unit suited for conveyor systems, fans, pumps, and similar rotating equipment. Static load capacity is 1,444 pounds and dynamic load capacity is 2,611 pounds, with a maximum rated speed of 6,500 RPM. Licensed HVAC, mechanical, and millwright tradespeople are the typical installers.

This pillow block is used in both light industrial and commercial mechanical systems where a two-bolt, floor-mounted or base-mounted bearing support is required. The VPE 200 series is commonly installed on conveyor lines, material-handling equipment, agricultural machinery, and building mechanical systems such as fan arrays and blower assemblies. The straight bore accommodates standard 3/4-inch shafting, and the eccentric locking collar provides a secure, tool-accessible shaft lock without requiring a keyed shaft. Mounting hole center-to-center distance is 3-25/32 inches, simplifying drop-in replacement on existing bolt patterns.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified millwrights or mechanical technicians. Shut down and lock out all rotating equipment per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures before removing or installing any bearing unit. Verify shaft diameter, bolt pattern, and shaft alignment before torquing mounting hardware. Do not force the bore onto a shaft that does not meet dimensional tolerances, as this can preload and damage the insert.
