Browning VPS-235AH Pillow Block
The Browning VPS-235AH is a 2 3/16" bore diameter pillow block bearing engineered specifically for air handling applications (AHU) and high-performance blower systems. This standard-duty unit utilizes a cast iron housing to provide maximum rigidity and vibration damping across a broad range of RPMs. The VPS-235AH features a precision-ground VALULINE chrome alloy steel insert with a setscrew locking mechanism, ensuring a secure shaft grip that minimizes runout in constant-torque environments. Designed with a narrower inner ring to fit tighter space constraints common in HVAC service, this unit also incorporates a unique seal design to prevent grease migration into the airstream. For technicians replacing industrial fan bearings, this unit offers the critical high-grade lubrication and load capacity required to maintain system static pressure and prevent premature bearing failure in commercial mechanical rooms.
Key Benefits- Zone Hardened Inner Race: Enhances durability under the inner ring setscrews while maintaining ductility elsewhere to prevent cracking.
- Air Handling (AH) Designation: Specially honed races and specific internal clearances reduce noise and vibration levels for institutional and commercial buildings.
- Enhanced Sealing: Features multi-lip contact seals to retain lubricant and exclude particulates, extending service life in dusty return-air environments.
- Cast Iron Housing: Provides a robust mounting platform that resists deformation and supports proper shaft alignment.
- Relubricatable Design: Includes an integrated grease fitting to allow for routine maintenance and purging of contaminants.
What is the maximum RPM for the Browning VPS-235AH?
The VPS-235AH is rated for speeds common in standard duty air handling applications, typically up to 3400 RPM depending on shaft fits and load conditions.
Can this bearing be used in vertical shaft orientations?
While primarily designed for horizontal mounting, it can be used in vertical applications if proper axial load calculations are performed and secondary retention is utilized.
Is the Browning VPS-235AH interchangeable with other 2-3/16 inch pillow blocks?
Yes, it follows the industry standard centerline height and bolt-hole spacing (bolt-to-bolt dimension), making it a direct replacement for most standard-duty 2-3/16" units.
