Lovejoy 68514411499 Flexible Coupling Spider Urethane L100

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514411499 is a urethane flexible spider element designed for use in jaw-type flexible couplings. The spider fits between two hubs to transmit torque while absorbing shock, vibration, and minor misalignment between coupled shafts. This L100 series spider measures 3.5 inches overall length and 2.54 inches outside diameter, with a rated torque capacity of 626 inch-pounds. It is sold as a single spider element and requires two hubs to complete an assembled coupling. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors in industrial and commercial drive applications.

This spider element is suited for use in pump, compressor, conveyor, and general mechanical drive systems where a flexible jaw coupling is required. The urethane material provides good chemical resistance and damping characteristics, making it appropriate for light to moderate-duty power transmission applications. Because only the spider is included in this package, the appropriate hubs must be ordered separately to complete the coupling assembly.

Key Features

• Urethane construction provides vibration damping and shock absorption between drive and driven shafts
• Rated torque of 626 inch-pounds suitable for moderate-duty mechanical drives
• L100 series sizing for compatibility with standard L100 jaw coupling hubs
• 3.5 inches overall length fits standard L100 hub spacing requirements
• Single-element design allows spider replacement without replacing full coupling assembly

Compatibility

Designed for use with L100 series jaw coupling hubs. Two L100 hubs must be ordered separately to complete the coupling assembly. Verify hub series and bore size requirements prior to ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical technicians or millwrights. De-energize and lockout all power to the connected drive equipment before disassembling or assembling the coupling. Ensure shaft alignment is within the coupling manufacturer's specified tolerances before finalizing the installation. Do not exceed the rated torque of the spider element during operation.
