Lovejoy L type jaw couplings are offered in different materials and are intended for various applications.
Hubs are available in sintered metal, aluminum, bronze, steel, stainless steel, and ductile iron. The couplings offer standard shaft-to-shaft connection for general industrial duty applications. The hubs are manufactured from sintered iron or cast iron, the material depends on the model.
L type couplings are comprised of 2 hubs (sintered iron for L035-L150 & cast iron for L190-276) and 1 elastomeric spider (SOX/NBR, Urethane, Hytrel®, or Bronze). SOX/NBR is flexible and oil resistant. Urethane has greater torque capacity, it is oil and chemical resistant. Hytrel is flexible, a perfect option for high-torque and high-temperature operations. Bronze is great for... read more
...low-speed applications that require torque capabilities.
Lovejoy L type jaw couplings have a number of useful features:
- Industry’s standard shaft coupling
- Accommodation for angular and parallel shaft misalignment
- Fail-safety (items will perform even if elastomeric “spider” fails)
- No metal-metal contact
- Dirt, grease moisture, oil and sand resistance
Lovejoy L type jaw couplings can be used for power transmission to industrial equipment (e.g. blowers, compressors, conveyors, mixers, pumps and more). All Lovejoy L type jaw couplings comply with current standards and customers’ requirements.
