Lovejoy 68514416235 D-type Single Universal Joint

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514416235 is a D-type single universal joint designed to transmit rotational motion between shafts that are not perfectly aligned. It handles a torque capacity of 378 inch-pounds and features a bore depth of 5/8 inches. The boot dimensions measure 1/4 inches inside diameter by 1/2 inches outside diameter, with an overall length of 2 inches. This joint is used in mechanical drive and motion-control assemblies where angular misalignment must be accommodated. Installation and service are typically performed by mechanical technicians and millwrights working on industrial or HVAC drive train components.

This universal joint suits applications where compact single-joint configurations are required in tight mechanical assemblies. Its D-type profile fits standard shaft configurations common in light industrial, HVAC, and commercial mechanical systems. The 378 inch-pound torque rating makes it appropriate for moderate-load drive shaft connections where precise angular motion transfer is needed. Typical installations include blower drive trains, damper actuators, and similar rotating equipment that require a flexible coupling point between two shafts.

Key Features

• 378 inch-pound torque capacity for moderate-load drive applications
• D-type single universal joint design for single-point angular misalignment correction
• 5/8 inch bore depth for secure shaft engagement
• Compact 2 inch overall length suits space-constrained mechanical assemblies
• Boot inside diameter of 1/4 inches and outside diameter of 1/2 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service universal joint for mechanical drive assemblies requiring a D-type single joint with a 378 inch-pound torque rating and 5/8 inch bore depth.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or millwright. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing the joint. Ensure shaft alignment is within the joint operating angle range before final assembly. Do not exceed the rated torque capacity during operation, as overloading can cause premature joint failure.
