Coupling configurator
The Configurator online tool from Lovejoy, Inc. translates raw data into usable CAD drawings and dimensional data for various styles of flexible couplings used in multiple power transmission applications including pumps, compressors, and gearboxes. Viewers can download or e-mail their selection to a colleague. The website includes more than 20,000 couplings with selections suitable for either inch or DIN metric specifications. Currently the curved Jaw, torsional LM, and disc couplings are configurable and available in engineering CAD drawings. The configurator can automatically compute certain parameters, such as torque, when the user enters power and rpm data. Features include definitions of coupling styles and terminology; side-by-side comparisons of different coupling styles; photos, specifications, and performance data; and custom configuration of selected coupling types.
