Motion-control couplings
A variety of couplings from Lovejoy provides transfer of motion between two rotating shafts, compensating for parallel, angular, and axial misalignments. Specifications and tolerance ranges vary, depending on the application required and a facility's internal tolerance ranges. The couplings are suitable for various market segments with zero backlash, including metal-cutting machine tools. Maximum temperature tolerance is 300°F (150°C) to manage harsh environments. The curved jaw mini-couplings offera maximum 31,800 rpm for high-speed operations, while thebellows clamp-style coupling addresses higher torque and bore capacities.
