Browning VTWE-231 Take-Up Bearing

The Browning VTWE-231 Take-Up Bearing is a wide-slot take-up ball bearing unit from Browning's VTWE series, designed for normal-duty, non-expansion service and to mount with Browning take-up frames such as 18SF31, 3SF31, 6SF31, 9SF31, and 12SF31. With a bore of 1-15/16 in, this unit measures 5-29/32 in long, 2-1/8 in wide, and 4-1/2 in high, providing a compact, ready-to-mount solution for conveyor and material-handling applications. The unit uses a cast-iron wide-slot housing with a 52100 bearing steel insert and a black oxide-coated inner surface for durability and corrosion resistance. Its dynamic load rating is 7,889 lb and static rating is 5,216 lb, making it suitable for mid-range take-up tasks in line equipment. Operating temperature range is -20 to 200 deg F, enabling use in standard industrial environments without special enclosure requirements.
