Browning 767935 Tapped Base Pillow Block Bearing

Product Description

The BROWNING 767935 is a tapped base pillow block bearing in the VTBS 200 series, designed for securing rotating shafts in light to medium-duty industrial and HVAC equipment applications. It features a 0.5 inch straight bore, a cast iron housing, and a 52100 bearing steel ball insert retained by a set screw locking arrangement. With a static load capacity of 1,444 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 2,611 pounds, this unit handles moderate radial loads reliably. The 2-bolt mounting pattern and tapped base make installation straightforward in standard equipment frames and support structures.

This bearing is suited for use in belt-driven blower assemblies, fan shafts, conveyor systems, and general rotating equipment found in commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and light industrial settings. The VTBS 200 series tapped base design accommodates applications where the mounting surface requires bolts to thread directly into the housing rather than pass through. It is typically specified when clearance beneath the mounting surface is limited or when a low-profile base configuration is required by the equipment layout.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation bearing for rotating shaft applications requiring a 0.5 inch straight bore tapped base pillow block in the VTBS 200 series configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified maintenance technicians or millwrights. Shut down and lock out all power to the driven equipment before handling or replacing bearings. Align the shaft carefully before tightening set screws to avoid premature wear on the bore or shaft journal. Verify mounting surface flatness and bolt engagement depth to ensure the tapped base seats correctly without stress on the housing.
