BROWNING

Browning® products include V-belt drives and a broad spectrum of power transmission products such as gearing, bearings, couplings and other drive components.

Browning® TorqTitan™ Belt

Introducing The New Browning® TorqTitan™ Belt – No Need To Re-Tighten The Titan. New materials and the use of advanced-design technology have led to a new generation of raw edge V-belts that outperform all similarly sized belts in a wide range of applications and offer:

By using innovative minimal-stretch cord technology and a proprietary cord treatment process, we are offering the industry's first no-maintenance V-belt. Unlike conventional belts, this V-belt does not suffer from severe tension decay in the first hours after installation; eliminating run-in periods and re-tensioning. Particularly valuable in difficult to reach drives. No re-tensioning means no machine or production downtime and reduced downtime costs. Because there is no good time for down time.

FEA Optimized Molded Notch Design

• Specially engineered shape reduces bending stresses
• Improved Flexibility
• Excellent reversed bending properties when backside idlers are present
• Increased performance on small pulley diameters.
• Increased heat dissipation
• Increased belt life

Longer Life At Extreme Temperatures

• The second generation of EPDM V-belts from Regal have the widest temperature range in the market
• The belt maintains exceptional performance in extreme cold conditions as low as -58°F
• Newly formulated EPDM rubber material resists hardening to avoid cracking in temperatures up to +266°F making the TorqTitan the ideal solution for hot air HVAC applications or other high temperature environments

The Solution For Compact Drives

The high-grade construction of the TorqTitan provides a much higher power density than classical V-belts, allowing for a more compact drive design and resulting in reduced drive width, weight and costs.

Belt Range And Sizes

A demanding drive? Harsh conditions? This new family of belts has a solution for all of your belt drive problems. This service-free belt is available in every popular size and designed for extremely high shock-loaded or vibration-prone drives. This revolutionary construction also offers a solution for higher load transmissions.

Additional Benefits

• Environmental: REACH and RoHS compatible
• Environmental: ATEX compatible (ISO1813 static conductivity)
• Environmental: Halogen-free belt
• Fit: Perfect fit on and A/B/3VX/5VX RMA pulley grooves and standard ISO/DIN V-pulleys

BOA™ CONCENTRIC LOCKING COLLAR

Specifications:

Housing Styles : Pillow Block, Flange, Take Up, and ER Style

Locking Styles : Setscrew, Concentric and Eccentric

Bore Diameter Size Range : 1” to 2 7/16”, 20 to 60mm

Housing Materials : Cast & Ductile Iron, Stamped Steel

Features:

• BOA™ Concentric Locking Collar : The BOA concentric locking collar clamp design results in near-perfect concentricity of the shaft to the bearing bore. It also provides near-perfect ball path roundness and reduces fretting corrosion. This design eliminates shaft damage from setscrew locking and minimizes bearing-induced vibration for smoother, quieter operation. The collar has a Torx head cap screw that resists stripping 12 times longer than hex screws.
• Setscrew Locking : 120° spaced, balanced three-point contact minimizes inner ring distortion vibration while reducing noise and improving reliability. Precision-manufactured diamond-faceted setscrews contribute to improved clamping and resistance to back-out.
• Sealing : A positive-contact molded nitrite rubber contact seal with an auxiliary flinger element comes standard. The contact seal allows grease purge and helps keep contamination out of the bearing. The flinger provides a rotating shield that helps direct contamination away from the seal.
• Anti-Rotation Rivet : An anti-rotation rivet prevents outer ring rotation (creep) within the housing.
• Semi-Solid Cast Iron Base : This rugged base design provides an excellent mounting foundation. This is integral to preventing sheet metal “buckling”.
• Zone Hardened Inner Race : Browning® bearings incorporate a unique heat treat process that hardens the inner race only where necessary. The location being directly under the ball path itself. The zone hardened inner race provides improved lock reliability due to less distortion at the setscrew location. Additionally, improved thread conformity results in better clamping and resistance to setscrew back-out.
• Identification Marking : Browning® bearing units with a cast-iron housing include a sticker with the part description. The bearing units also include a Browning® branded washer under the lubrication fitting. This provides simple verification of the part number during installation and replacement.
• Air Handling “AH” Option : The Browning® air handling mounted ball bearing offers the same features as the standard Browning® mounted ball bearing in addition to the following air handling features:
• AH Housing Fit : Air Handling "AH" ball bearings are manufactured with a controlled housing fit that allows the bearing to properly self-align when mounted on lightweight frames commonly found on air handling equipment.
• Noise Test : All Air Handling "AH" bearings must pass a two-stage noise testing verification for quiet operation. This is in order to meet the noise level standards of the air handling industry.
• Benefits : We offer popular shaft sizes and housing configurations in the normal and medium-duty series made collar to order and from stock. These products are offered in both setscrew and BOA™ concentric locking collar styles.

TORQTAPER PLUS

Browning® TorqTaper Plus® shaft mounted reducer gearboxes are designed with a systematic approach for maximum life in rugged industrial environments. The patented design that allows ease of installation and removal. The TorqTaper Plus bushing can be installed on either the inboard or outboard side of size 107 through 315 reducers. The system also utilizes a bronze stabilizer ring on the opposite end of the bushing. The stabilizer ring helps minimize fretting corrosion which makes removal of the reducer easier.

Features:

• Design provides full-length bushing support of the drive
• Accommodates a wide range of shaft diameters
• Reduces installation and removal time
• Key to key drive provides maximum torque and shock load capacity
• Eliminates fretting corrosion and seizing problems
• Reduces wobble and accommodates undersized shaft
