Description
The Browning VPS-118 is designed for professionals who demand a "set-and-forget" bearing solution. Featuring a high-base, two-bolt cast iron housing, this mounted unit provides a rigid foundation for rotating shafts. The housing is treated with a powder-coat epoxy finish, offering superior resistance to corrosion and industrial chemicals compared to standard painted units.
Key Features
- Intermediate Duty Rating: Perfectly balanced for applications that require more strength than stamped steel but don't need the excessive weight of heavy-duty blocks.
- 120° Setscrew Lock: Features diamond-faceted screws for maximum holding power and reduced shaft marring.
- Zone Hardened Inner Race: The inner ring is specifically heat-treated where the setscrews bite, ensuring the rest of the ring remains ductile and crack-resistant.
- Anti-Rotation Rivet: Includes a specialized rivet that prevents the outer ring from spinning (creeping) within the housing, reducing heat buildup.
- High-Speed Performance: Rated for smooth operation up to 3,000 RPM, ideal for high-velocity fans and blowers.
- Relubricatable Housing: Features a grease fitting for easy maintenance, ensuring the bearing stays lubricated for an extended service life.
- Static Misalignment Capacity: The spherical outer diameter allows the bearing to self-align during installation, compensating for minor mounting inaccuracies.
