Description

BROWNING VPE-216 is a pillow block bearing reference, within Bearing housings. Request a quote for VPE-216 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The VPE pillow block with insert bearing is a foot-mounted assembly that combines a cast iron housing with a ball insert bearing, ready to be fixed to a flat base. It is used to guide and support rotating shafts in power transmission equipment, especially where alignment and permanent lubrication are required. Browning is a brand that MR Accesorios Industriales supplies in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The VPE designation is read as a family of pillow blocks with insert bearing. The number after the hyphen identifies the insert and shaft size: for example, VPE-208 corresponds to a 40 mm shaft, VPE-210 to 50 mm, VPE-212 to 60 mm, VPE-214 to 70 mm, VPE-215 to 75 mm, VPE-216 to 80 mm, VPE-218 to 90 mm and VPE-219 to 95 mm. The VPE 200 series groups these sizes and allows selecting the housing according to the shaft diameter and the expected radial load.

These housings are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina: food and beverage plants, packaging lines, conveyors, flour mills, water treatment plants, equipment for the chemical and petrochemical industry, and construction machinery. Their foot design facilitates mounting on metal structures or concrete bases, and supports shafts rotating at moderate speeds with combined radial and axial loads.

To select the correct housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the radial and axial load it must support, and the environmental conditions. The insert comes lubricated and sealed from the factory; verify that the seal is suitable for dust, moisture or frequent washdowns. During mounting, ensure that the base is flat and aligned to avoid stress on the bearing. Lubrication may require replenishment depending on the duty cycle and seal type.

VPE pillow blocks with insert bearing are interchangeable with other brands that use the same 200 series nomenclature and equivalent shaft sizes. When requesting a quote, indicate the complete part number (for example, VPE-210) and the working conditions so that we can offer you the right alternative. If you need a special variant, we can also source it.

At MR Accesorios Industriales we supply the Browning line of VPE pillow blocks with insert bearing. If you already have the part number or model, write to us on WhatsApp and we will quote you promptly. We also advise you on choosing the correct size for your application.
