LOVEJOY 68514411727 Jaw Coupling Spider, L110, AL110 Coupling Size, 2268 in. lbs. Torque

Lovejoy 68514411727 jaw coupling spider is suitable for angular & parallel misalignment and provides excessive damping of vibrations. This unit is ideal for gears, pumps, compressors and generators.

Features:

• It is made from bronze (a rigid, porous, oil-impregnated metal) that remains unaffected by extreme temperatures, water, oil or dirt.
• It is ideal for slow-speed (maximum 250 rpm) applications requiring high torque capabilities (up to 2268 inch-lb).
• This unit features an open centre design that allows the shafts of the driver and driven equipment to be positioned within a short distance but have a lower speed capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is axial misalignment?

A. Axial misalignment means that the ends of each axis or shaft do not meet. They are parallel to each other and when fully extended, the ends do not come together. This type of misalignment is also known as 'end float' because the ends do not connect and seem to be in floated condition.

Q. What are jaw coupling hubs?

A. Jaw coupling hubs can link two rotating shafts while accommodating angular & parallel shaft misalignments and preventing metal-to-metal contact, hence providing electrical insulation. They feature a curved jaw profile that press fits with the spider to enable zero-backlash operation.

Q. Why are jaw hubs considered fail-safe?

A. Jaw hubs are considered fail-safe because if the spider were to fail, the jaws of the two hubs interlock for direct power transmission and allow safe shutdown for maintenance.
