Browning B 2 3/16 Bushing

Browning B 2 3/16 Bushing

The Browning B 2 3/16 Bushing is a high-performance split taper bushing engineered for precise power transmission in heavy-duty HVACR applications. Designed with a 2-3/16 inch finished bore and a standard 1/2 x 1/4 inch keyseat, this B-series component ensures a secure, concentric fit between the shaft and the drive element. The double-split barrel provides a uniform 360-degree clamp, significantly reducing vibration and preventing shaft marring compared to standard set-screw hubs. With a 3/4" per foot taper, this Browning split taper bushing offers a self-locking mechanical fit that excels in high-torque environments, featuring a solid flange that maintains bore integrity under load. This industrial shaft bushing is fully compatible with Browning B-series sheaves, sprockets, and pulleys, providing a reliable key-to-key drive that allows torque to be transmitted through the keys rather than the 5/16" x 1-1/4" cap screws. Professionals trust the cast iron construction for its durability in fans, compressors, and air handling units.

Key Benefits
  • Precision Alignment: The double-split barrel design provides superior concentricity, minimizing runout and extending bearing life.
  • High Torque Capacity: Features a key-to-key drive system where the key resonates through the bushing, ensuring maximum power transfer.
  • Easier Maintenance: The 3/4" taper per foot allows for easy installation and removal without the need for specialized pullers.
  • Standardized Fit: B-series dimensions offer broad compatibility across HVACR pulleys, sheaves, and industrial hubs.
  • Durable Fastening: Includes three high-strength cap screws requiring a wrench torque of 192 in-lbs for optimal seating.
Common Questions

What is the difference between a split taper and a QD bushing?
While both are tapered, the Browning split taper uses a specific 3/4" per foot taper and features a double split specifically designed for more uniform shaft clamping and concentricity compared to the single split often found in QD (Quick Detachable) designs.

Can I use this on a shaft without a keyway?
No, this specific B series bushing is designed for a 2 3/16" keyed shaft. For proper torque transmission and safety, a 1/2" wide key is required to engage both the shaft and the bushing's internal keyseat.

What tools are required for installation?
You will need a calibrated torque wrench to reach the specified 192 in-lb rating and a standard socket set for the 5/16" cap screws. Never lubricate the taper or screws during installation, as this can lead to hub failure.
