Versatility In A Jaw Coupling

 
Jaw couplings from Lovejoy are offered in the industry’s largest variety of stock bore/keyway 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.

Features and Benefits
Fail-safe – will still perform if elastomer fails -No metal to metal contact
• Resistant to oil, dirt, sand, moisture and grease
• Most types available from stock
.

Styles Available

L Type Standard L Type coupling hub materials are either sintered iron or cast iron.
AL Type The aluminum construction means this coupling is light-weight with low overhung load and low inertia.
SS Type These couplings offer the same shaft-to-shaft connection features of the L Type coupling with the added benefit of stainless steel material.
SW Type The coupling is the standard L Type with a snap elastomer with retaining ring. It is well suited for standard shaft-to-shaft connection in general industrial purpose applications under 1750 RPM. Perfect for quick element replacement, as you do not have to move the shafts apart. Can be used with Standard L Type hubs, AL Type hubs & SS Type hubs.
LS Type By simply moving the hubs apart and using a Jaw InShear element you can create an overload protector. With the Jaw InShear type coupling the element shears when there is a large overload, sacrificing its self in order to save the rest of the machine. 
RRS Type The centre "drop out" section of this coupling provides proper shaft separation while also allowing easy elastomer installation without disturbing the hubs or requiring re-alignment of shafts. Designed for the pump industry, it accommodates European industry standard pump/motor shaft separations that are most comon in Australia. Can be used with Standard L Type hubs, AL Type hubs & SS Type hubs.
