Browning bearings, sold & sourced by Dalton Bearing Service
Dalton Bearing Service supplies Browning power transmission products from our counter at 601 S Glenwood Ave in Dalton, Georgia, and Browning is still one of the lines our local customers buy most. Browning covers the parts that make a belt or chain drive work: V-belts, sheaves, bushings, sprockets, gearing, speed reducers and mounted bearings.
For belt drives we stock and source Browning FHP fixed pitch sheaves, FHP finished bore sheaves, FHP variable pitch sheaves, extreme light duty sheaves, B5V sheaves, split taper sheaves, QD sheaves and multiple groove variable pitch sheaves, plus the matching V-belts and bushings. For chain drives we carry Browning sprockets and roller chain. We also handle Browning gears, speed reducers, and mounted bearings, including pillow blocks, flange bearings and mounted tapered roller bearings.
Browning torque overload devices protect a drive when a jam or overload hits, so a sheared pin replaces a broken gearbox. We handle Browning shear pin hubs, torque limiters, Torq/Pro, Torq/Pro X (TPX), Torq/Pro Z (TPZ), Torq/Gard and Axial Gard units.
Send us the part number off the sheave or bushing, a photo, or the bore, groove count and pitch diameter. A real person will check stock and get you a price, and if a Browning number is on backorder we will say so up front and offer an alternative.
Browning ownership & history
Browning dates to 1886 and grew up in Maysville, Kentucky, where Browning Manufacturing built its sheaves, sprockets and gearing for most of the 20th century. Emerson Electric bought Browning in 1969, and it became a core brand of Emerson Power Transmission alongside Sealmaster, McGill, Morse and Kop-Flex. Emerson ended manufacturing in Maysville around 2013.
Regal Beloit acquired Emerson's Power Transmission Solutions business, Browning included, effective January 30, 2015. Since October 2021 Browning has been part of Regal Rexnord, which also owns Rexnord and Link-Belt.

Why buy Browning bearings from Dalton Bearing
Dalton Bearing Service has kept plants running from Dalton, Georgia since 1946. We are an independent industrial distributor, not the manufacturer — which means we can quote Browning bearings straight from stock or our supplier network and, when a number is backordered or discontinued, offer a checked cross-reference — often from McGill, Sealmaster or AMI Bearings. Send a part number, a photo of the nameplate, or just the dimensions, and a real person gets back to you with price and availability, usually the same day.
Need something besides Browning? We source ball bearings, roller bearings, plain bearings, couplings, sealing, electrical power transmission and more across 160 manufacturer lines — browse every brand or send us your whole list and we will quote it in one go.
