Lovejoy 68514416072 D-type Single Universal Joint

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514416072 is a D-type single universal joint designed to transmit rotational torque between shafts that are misaligned or set at an angle. Rated at 33,120 in/lb of torque, this joint handles demanding mechanical drive applications in industrial and commercial equipment. It features a 1-1/4 inch inside diameter bore, a 2-1/2 inch outside diameter, a 2 inch bore depth, and an overall assembly length (OAL) of 7 inches. The unit weighs 8.5 pounds. Mechanical drive technicians and millwrights are the primary installers of this type of component.

This universal joint is suited for use in industrial power transmission systems where shaft angle variation or misalignment must be accommodated without interrupting rotational drive. Typical applications include conveyor drives, agricultural equipment, industrial gearbox connections, and other machinery requiring flexible shaft coupling. The D-type single configuration is a standard design used across a wide range of mechanical drive assemblies in both fixed and mobile equipment.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation universal joint for mechanical power transmission assemblies requiring a D-type single joint with a 1-1/4 inch bore and 33,120 in/lb torque capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical drive technician. Isolate and lock out all power sources before removing or installing the joint per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure mating shaft diameters and keyway dimensions are verified before pressing or securing the joint. Do not exceed the rated torque capacity during operation, and inspect the joint for proper alignment after installation to prevent premature wear.
