Product catalog summary
Safety Warning: It is essential to adhere to instructions and precautions when using Lovejoy products to prevent severe injury or death. Proper selection, sizing, and installation are crucial, and appropriate guards must be installed following OSHA and ASME standards.
CJ Series Overview: The Curved Jaw design features a three-piece assembly with radial and axial curvature in the elastomer. It is available in materials such as sintered iron, steel, aluminum, cast iron, and nodular iron. The design is fail-safe, continuing to function after elastomer failure, covering a torque range of 67 to 247,800 in-lbs.
Elastomers: Four types of spiders are available, each with different shore hardnesses for varying torque capacities and damping characteristics. The standard 92A shore insert is yellow, offering excellent torque capacity. The 80A shore (blue) provides superior damping, while the 95/98A shore (red) offers higher torque. The 64D shore (green) is suitable for high humidity and temperature environments.
Selection Process: The process involves determining nominal torque, calculating the application service factor, and selecting the appropriate elastomer based on torque ratings. It is important to ensure the coupling fits the application space and bore size requirements.
Performance Data: Detailed torque ratings for different elastomer types and sizes are provided, including maximum wind-up angles and rated horsepower at various speeds.
Dimensional Data: Dimensional specifications for the CJ Series spiders are provided, detailing size, height, and width in both inches and millimeters.
Overview: The document provides detailed technical specifications and dimensional data for various types of Curved Jaw couplings, including Double Bolt (CJDB), Single Bolt (CJSB), Large Flange to Hub (CJLFH), Double Large Flange (CJDLF), Small Flange to Hub (CJSFH), Double Small Flange (CJDSF), Spacer (CJSPC), and Drop-out Spacer (CJDSPC) designs. It also covers the GS Series couplings, designed for precision applications requiring zero backlash.
Specifications: Extensive dimensional data for each coupling type is included, specifying measurements such as bore sizes, outer diameters, hub lengths, and bolt sizes. Torque ratings and material options (aluminum, sintered iron, cast iron, and steel) are also provided.
Design Features: Key features include flange-to-flange and shaft-to-flange designs for compact connections, spacer styles for larger shaft separations, and drop-out styles for increased damping and misalignment capabilities. The GS Series offers a simple three-piece jaw design with options for clamping and locking device hubs.
Applications: Suitable for various applications, including measurement and control systems, servo and positioning drives, and main spindle drives. The GS Series is noted for its zero backlash and damping capabilities, ideal for applications with critical speed vibrations.
Performance Data: Performance data for elastomer types used in the GS Series is provided, detailing temperature ranges and typical applications. It includes torque ratings for clamp style hubs and factors for temperature, torsional stiffness, and shock loads.
Installation and Maintenance: Proper installation is emphasized to ensure electrical isolation and correct spacing between components. Checking specific dimensions is advised to ensure proper assembly and performance.
GS Series Performance and Torque Ratings: Detailed performance data for the GS Series couplings focuses on torque ratings and speed capabilities, including specifications for different sizes and durometers, highlighting static and dynamic torsional stiffness, maximum bore without keyway, and polar moment of inertia.
Hub Design Descriptions: The GS Series offers various hub designs tailored for specific applications, including clamping hubs with single or double slots, with or without keyways, and hubs with frictional locking. Each design aims to minimize backlash and optimize torque transmission.
Misalignment Information: The GS Series couplings are designed to handle axial, radial, and angular misalignments while maintaining zero backlash. Allowable misalignment for different spider sizes and shore hardness levels is detailed, ensuring low reactionary forces and stress management.
Key Data Summary: Performance data includes RPM, torque (in-lbs), and stiffness values. Hub designs cater to different clamping and locking needs, with options for zero backlash. Misalignment capabilities are specified for axial, radial, and angular adjustments, with detailed measurements for each size and shore hardness.

Lovejoy Coupling Solutions Curved Jaw CJ Series Selection Process Step 6: Steps In Selecting A Curved Jaw Coupling Step 1: Determine the nominal torque of your application: in-lbs = Tkn = HPx63025 RPM Step 2: Calculate your Application Service Factor using the charts below. The total Service Factor (K) will be: K = K1 x K2 x K3 Step 3: Calculate the design torque (DTkmax) of your application. Design Torque (DTkmax) = Nominal Torque x service factor. Step 4: Using the Elastomer Torque Ratings Tables on pages CJ-6 and CJ-7 select the urethane shore hardness which best corresponds to your relative...
