SHAFT COUPLING INSERT, HUB INSERT TYPE, 6J BODY STYLE, RATED TORQUE 1800 IN LB., MAXRPM 6000
This Lovejoy solid design S-Flex coupling sleeve is for use on Lovejoy S-Flex series flexible coupling assemblies and is made of a thermoplastic polyester elastomer (Hytrel) for high torque and high temperature applications that require resistance to chemicals and oils. It flexes up to .25 degrees to compensate for angular misalignment of coupled shafts and its teeth help to distribute torsional load across the hubs to reduce wear and extend service life. Lovejoy S-Flex series flexible couplings are suitable for applications that require torsional flexibility and the capacity to withstand shock loads and vibration, including blowers, compressors, conveyors, dredges, feeders, generators, mills, and presses, among others.
Flexible couplings are used to link two rotating shafts that are not aligned in order to transmit the rotational power, known as torque, from one shaft to the other. Most flexible couplings consist of two hubs and a middle assembly; each hub attaches to a shaft while the middle assembly flexes between the hubs to accommodate the misalignment of the two shafts. Shaft misalignments are generally either parallel or angular and cause complications to transmitting rotational power from one shaft to another in the form of stresses, loads, vibrations, and other forces, which vary from one type of misalignment to another. Flexible couplings are used in a broad range of applications, such as in motor vehicles, conveyors, escalators, agricultural, forestry and mining equipment, aeronautics, robotics and space exploration, among others.
