Safety Warning When using Lovejoy products, you must follow these instructions and take the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause the power transmission product to break and parts to be thrown with sufficient force to cause severe injury or death. Refer to this Lovejoy Catalog for proper selection, sizing, horsepower, torque range, and speed range of power transmission products, including elastomeric elements for couplings. Follow the installation instructions included with the product, and in the individual product catalogs for proper installation of power transmission products....

Vari-Crown® Tooth Form With straight hub teeth, there is a high concentration of load under misaligned conditions. As misalignment increases, more of the load is carried by the ends of the teeth, resulting in premature breakdown and coupling failure. Some manufacturers use a conventionally crowned hub tooth known by various trade names. Regardless of the nomenclature, however, the contour of the tooth is a segment of an arc. Under all operating conditions, equal or similar contact areas between the hub teeth and the sleeve teeth exist. Conventional Crown Lovejoy / Sier-Bath Vari-Crown® The Sier-Bath...

The following is a list of the information necessary to assist in making a coupling selection. Not all of these items will come into play in all selection processes. These items include, but are not limited to: Application related: • Application details • Type of motor and driven equipment • Motor horsepower or KW • Operating/coupling speed • Shaft sizes and separation • Space and size constraints • Environment (temperature, chemicals, etc) • Balance requirements • Special modifications Step 5: heck that the maximum bore size and the maximum RPM of the coupling C type selected to ensure the coupling...
