Browning B 2 3/8 Bushing

Browning B 2 3/8 Bushing

For high-torque mechanical power transmission, the Browning B 2 3/8 Bushing stands as the industry standard for securing sheaves, sprockets, and pulleys to a 2 3/8" diameter shaft. This B series split taper bushing features a 5/8" x 5/16" keyseat and a precision-engineered 3/4" per foot taper to ensure a secure, self-locking fit. Unlike standard bushings, the Browning split taper design utilizes a double-split barrel and a solid flange to maintain superior concentricity, reducing vibration in high-speed fan and blower applications. The keyed shaft attachment is enhanced by an external key on the bushing, providing a positive drive that offloads torque from the three 5/16" x 1 1/4" cap screws. This ductile iron bushing is fully interchangeable with competitive QD-style systems, making it a versatile choice for contractors servicing industrial HVACR equipment. With a 1.9375" length through bore and a recommended torque of 192 in-lbs, it delivers the clamping force necessary for reliable performance in demanding environments.

  • Enhanced Concentricity: The double-split barrel provides a uniform 360-degree grip, minimizing shaft runout and extending bearing life.
  • High Torque Capacity: Dual-key functionality—keyed to both the shaft and the hub—ensures maximum power transmission without shearing.
  • Self-Locking Taper: The 3/4" per foot taper ensures a robust mechanical lock that resists loosening under heavy shock loads.
  • Easy Installation & Removal: Features integrated puller holes in the 3.6875" flange for simplified maintenance and reduced downtime.

Common Technical Questions

What is the proper torque spec for the B series mounting bolts?
For the Browning B series, the three 5/16" cap screws should be tightened sequentially to 192 in-lbs using a calibrated torque wrench to prevent flange stress.

Is this bushing compatible with standard B series sheaves?
Yes, it is specifically designed for B series split taper hubs. It is widely used in HVACR systems for axial fans, centrifugal blowers, and pump drives.

What material is used for the 2 3/8" bore size?
This specific bore size is typically manufactured from high-strength ductile iron or sintered steel to handle the increased load requirements of a 2 3/8" shaft.
