The Jaw Type couplings from Lovejoy are offered in the industry's largest variety of stock bore/key-way combinations. These couplings require no lubrication and provide highly reliable service for light, medium, and heavy duty electrical motor and internal combustion power transmission applications.
- Fail-safe - will still perform if elastomer fails
- No metal to metal contact
- Resistant to oil, dirt, sand, moisture and grease
- More than 850,000 combinations of bore sizes
- Most types available from stock in 24 hours
- Applications include power transmission to industrial equipment such as pumps, gear boxes, compressors, blowers, mixers, and conveyors. Lovejoy's Jaw Type couplings are available in 24 sizes from a minimum torque rating of 3.5 in-lbs (0.4 Nm) to a maximum torque rating of 170,004 in-lbs (19209 Nm) and a bore range of .125 inches (4.45mm) to 7 inches (178mm). Lovejoy's standard bore program covers AGMA, SAE, and DIN bore/key-way and spline bore combinations.
