Lovejoy 68514416117 D-type Single Universal Joint

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514416117 is a D-type single universal joint engineered for high-torque power transmission applications. It features a bore depth of 2.75 inches and a torque capacity of 65,400 in/lb, making it suitable for demanding drive shaft and coupling installations in industrial and heavy-duty mechanical systems. The boot measures 1.5 inches inside diameter and 3 inches outside diameter, with an overall assembly length of 9.0625 inches. Mechanical contractors and industrial maintenance technicians install this joint where flexible coupling is required between misaligned shafts or drive components. The part ships as a single unit with a package quantity of one.

This universal joint is intended for use in industrial drive systems that require high torque transfer through a flexible coupling point. Typical applications include drive shafts, power take-off assemblies, and mechanical linkages where angular misalignment must be accommodated without sacrificing torque capacity. Its D-type single configuration suits installations where one joint is sufficient to span the required operating angle in a given drive line. Installation is performed by qualified mechanical technicians familiar with shaft coupling procedures and industrial power transmission equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician with experience in power transmission and drive shaft service. De-energize all connected equipment and lock out the drive system before removing or installing the joint. Verify shaft diameter and alignment tolerances prior to assembly to ensure proper fit and avoid premature wear. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and the equipment manufacturer service documentation during installation.
