Browning 767994 Pillow Block Bearing 2-7/16 in Bore

Product Description

The BROWNING 767994 is a two-bolt pillow block bearing in the VPS 200 Series, designed for shaft support in industrial and commercial mechanical drive applications. It accepts a 2-7/16 inch straight bore and uses a set screw lock type to secure the shaft. The cast iron housing surrounds a 52100 bearing steel insert rated for a static load capacity of 8,150 pounds and a dynamic load capacity of 11,789 pounds. With an overall height of 5-9/16 inches and an overall length of 9-1/2 inches, this unit fits standard two-bolt mounting configurations. Maximum operating speed is 2,500 RPM. Millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial equipment technicians are the primary installers.

The BROWNING 767994 is suited for conveyor systems, fans, pumps, and other rotating shaft equipment where a standard two-bolt pillow block mount is required. The straight bore and set screw retention make it a practical choice for solid shafting in fixed-speed applications across light and medium industrial environments. The 7-13/32 inch center-to-center bolt spacing and 2-3/4 inch base-to-center height align with common mounting plate layouts used in OEM and replacement installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or qualified maintenance mechanic. Ensure all equipment is fully de-energized and locked out before removing or installing bearing units. Mounting surfaces should be clean and flat to prevent housing distortion, which can reduce bearing service life. Set screws should be tightened to the shaft per standard mechanical fastener practice, and the unit should be checked for proper shaft alignment before returning equipment to service.
