Lovejoy 68514416841 D-type Single Universal Joint

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514416841 is a D-Type single universal joint designed to transmit rotational torque through angular misalignment in drivetrain and mechanical power transmission applications. It delivers a torque capacity of 33,120 inch-pounds, making it suitable for demanding industrial and heavy-duty service environments. The joint features a 2-inch bore depth with a 1-1/4-inch inside diameter boot and a 2-1/2-inch outside diameter boot, with an overall assembled length of 7 inches. Mechanical technicians and industrial maintenance professionals typically install this component in shaft coupling assemblies where flexible torque transfer is required.

This universal joint is suited for use in industrial machinery, mechanical power transmission shafts, and drivetrain assemblies that require high-torque single-joint configurations. The D-Type design is a standard configuration used across a range of rotating equipment in manufacturing, agricultural, and heavy equipment service. It is installed as a single joint where moderate angular offset between shafts must be accommodated without sacrificing torque capacity. Applications typically involve shaft connections in equipment where precise alignment is difficult to maintain under operating loads.

Key Features

• Torque capacity of 33,120 inch-pounds for high-load drivetrain applications
• D-Type single universal joint configuration for standard shaft coupling use
• 2-inch bore depth accommodates common shaft sizing
• Boot inside diameter of 1-1/4 inches and outside diameter of 2-1/2 inches
• Overall assembled length of 7 inches for predictable layout in shaft runs
• Packaged as a single unit for direct replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit universal joint for mechanical power transmission shaft assemblies requiring a D-Type single joint with a 33,120 inch-pound torque rating and a 2-inch bore depth.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed mechanical or industrial maintenance technician. Disconnect and lock out all power sources before beginning any shaft coupling work, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify shaft diameter and bore dimensions match the joint specifications before installation. Do not exceed the rated torque capacity during service, as overloading a universal joint can cause premature failure or component separation.
