The VPS pillow block is a mounted bearing: a unit that combines a cast housing with an insert bearing, ready to be fastened to the structure with two bolts. It is used to support rotating shafts in conveyors, belts, elevators and process equipment, where a compact, easy-to-mount solution is needed. Browning is a brand MR Accesorios Industriales sells in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The VPS designation is read by series and by number: VPS 100, VPS 200 and VPS 300 group the different sizes and capacities. The number after the hyphen identifies the insert and housing size. To choose, send the full part number and the shaft dimensions.
These pillow blocks are found in food and beverage plants, cement plants, quarries, aggregate processing plants and packaging lines. Also in the field, on screw conveyors, bucket elevators and belt conveyors. In Argentina they are common in industries that need fast replacements compatible with already installed equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them throughout the country from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
To select, take into account the shaft diameter, the radial and axial load, and the type of sealing the environment requires: dust, water or washdown. The pillow block is aligned with two bolts and tolerates small misalignments if the insert is self-aligning. Lubrication and internal clearance depend on the insert; follow the manufacturer's instructions for mounting and replacement.
As for equivalences, Browning VPS pillow blocks can be interchanged with other lines of pillow block mounted bearings of similar dimensions, as long as the shaft diameter, the bolt spacing and the center height match. There is no universal table: compare the main dimensions and ask us about the part number you need to replace.
If you have the VPS part number or the shaft dimensions, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote you promptly. We will also tell you the compatible alternative if you are looking for a specific variant.
