Disc couplings for mechanical power transmission

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides comprehensive information on disc couplings used in mechanical and fluid power applications. It covers specifications, performance data, and dimensions for various coupling types, including SU, SX, DI, SXC, SXCS, and SXCST.
Selection Process
The selection process involves understanding application service factors and using selection data to choose the appropriate coupling. A worksheet is provided to assist in the selection.
Specifications and Performance Data
Each coupling type, such as SU-6, SX-6, SX-8, SXC-6, SXCS-6, SXCST-6, DI-6, and DI-8, has specific performance and dimensional data crucial for meeting torque and speed specifications.
Advantages of Lovejoy Disc Couplings
These couplings offer advantages like no lubrication requirement, easy inspection, torsional rigidity without backlash, and resistance to harsh environments. They support API-610 standards up to 3,800 RPM and include overload bushings for torque protection.
Safety Warnings
Users must adhere to safety instructions to prevent injury or death. Proper selection, installation, and maintenance are critical, and safety guards must be installed. These products should not be used in applications carrying people.
Types of Couplings
  • SU Type: Single flex plane, suitable for angular and axial misalignment.
  • SX Type: Standard coupling with two flex planes, accommodating parallel, angular, and axial misalignment.
  • DI Type: Features a "Drop-In" spacer assembly, pre-assembled at the factory.
  • SXC Type: A close-coupled variation of the SX Type, with hubs mounted inside the spacer.
  • SXCS and SXCST Types: Feature split spacers for easy servicing without moving hubs or equipment.
Design and Material
Lovejoy disc packs are made from high-grade stainless steel (AISI-301), offering high strength, fatigue endurance, and environmental resistance. They are available in 6 or 8 bolt designs.
Selection Process
  1. Select the appropriate coupling type based on misalignment properties and application requirements.
  2. Calculate the application torque and apply the service factor to determine the selection torque.
  3. Consider the driven and driving machine service factors from provided tables to ensure proper selection.
Service Factors
Tables are provided to determine service factors for various driven and driving machines, crucial for calculating the selection torque.
Performance Data
Performance data by size is provided, with notes on torsional stiffness, axial and angular misalignment, and maximum bores for cylindrical or taper shafts.
Recommendations
For specific applications, the document advises contacting technical support for guidance on bore types other than cylindrical or taper shafts with keys. It also suggests consulting additional resources for larger sizes and higher torque capacities.
Company Profile
jbj Techniques Limited is a specialist supplier of mechanical and fluid power products, offering a wide range of couplings and other components. The company is ISO certified and provides comprehensive services from specification to after-sales support.

Mechanical Power Transmission Disc Couplings Industrial SU Type The SU Type coupling has a single flex plane with two hubs and a single disc pack. It is suitable for angular and axial misalignment only. Two SU couplings are often combined with a shaft to make a floating shaft coupling. The shaft can be hollow for long light weight floating shaft couplings. Industrial SX Type This is the standard coupling type that includes two hubs, a stock length spacer designed to meet industry standard lengths, and two unitized disc packs. The coupling has two flex planes, one at each disc pack, allowing this...

Mechanical Power Transmission Disc Couplings Disc Coupling Selection Process 1) Determine coupling type suitable for application. Angular, axial and parrallel misalignment properties need to be considered. Size will be determined by the selection torque and shaft diameters. 2) Next, calculate the application torque and apply the service factor to calculate the selection torque. Application torque Application torque x service factor = selection torque 3) Use the relevant table on the relevant page for model of coupling for torque rating and shaft size. Sometimes to have the right bore size it...

Service Factors Mechanical Power Transmission Disc Couplings Selection Procedure 1. Select the coupling type. 2. Select the driven machine service factor SFA from Table 1. 3. Select the driving machine service factor SFD from Table 2. Care should be taken when the driving machine is other than a standard electric motor or turbine. Some engines will impose extra fluctuations on the drive system and allowance should be made accordingly. Please refer to Table 2. A torsional coupling may be required for diesel drives. The two service factors SFAand SFD must be added resulting in the combined service...
