Browning VPS-231 Ball Bearing
The Browning VPS-231 Pillow Block Ball Bearing is a standard-duty, 1-15/16" bore diameter mounted unit designed for rigorous HVAC and industrial applications. This cast iron pillow block features a precision-machined 2-bolt base housing, providing a stable platform for high-performance shaft support. Engineered with a set screw locking mechanism, the VPS-231 utilizes 120-degree spaced diamond-faceted set screws to ensure maximum grip and prevent shaft slippage under radial and thrust loads. The zone-hardened inner ring enhances metallurgical integrity at the ball path while maintaining ductility at the set screw location for a secure, vibration-resistant fit.
For protection in contaminated environments, the Browning VPS-231 incorporates a single lip contact seal and flinger, effectively retaining the factory-filled lithium complex NLGI #2 grease while blocking debris. With a radial dynamic load capacity of 7,889 lbf and a maximum speed of 3,000 RPM, this unit is built for technical reliability in air handling, conveyors, and mechanical drive systems. The non-expansion design and 52100 bearing steel construction make it a drop-in replacement for standard 1-15/16 inch mount requirements.
Key Benefits
- 1-15/16" Bore Diameter: Precision-fit for standard industrial drive shafts used in HVAC fans and blowers.
- Cast Iron Construction: Rugged housing design provides superior vibration damping and structural rigidity.
- Set Screw Locking: Diamond-faceted screws ensure a positive lock to the shaft even in high-torque startups.
- Contact Seal with Flinger: Dual-layer protection prevents ingress of dust and moisture, extending component life.
- Pre-Lubricated: Charged with high-performance lithium complex grease for immediate installation and operation.
Common Questions
What is the maximum operating temperature for the VPS-231?
The Browning VPS-231 is rated for continuous operation in environments up to 200°F.
Can this bearing handle shaft misalignment?
Yes, this unit supports a +/- 1.5-degree static misalignment to accommodate minor mounting inaccuracies.
What type of replacement insert does this housing use?
The housing is compatible with the Browning VS-231 replacement bearing insert.
