Lovejoy 68514431161 D-type Single Universal Joint

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514431161 is a D-type single universal joint designed to transmit rotational motion between shafts that are misaligned or offset. It handles a torque capacity of 512 inch-pounds and accepts a bore depth of 7/8 inches, making it suited for moderate-duty mechanical drive applications. The boot inner diameter measures 3/8 inches and the outer diameter measures 3/4 inches, with an overall length of 2-11/16 inches. Mechanical technicians and industrial service pros install this type of joint in drive train assemblies, equipment linkages, and motion-control systems where angular flexibility is required.

This universal joint fits residential and light commercial mechanical applications where a compact, single-joint configuration is needed. It is used in drive shaft assemblies, actuator linkages, and machine tool setups that require articulation between misaligned drive components. The D-type design is a standard configuration recognized across a wide range of small-to-mid-scale power transmission installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician. Disengage and lock out all power sources before removing or installing drive shaft components. Verify shaft diameter and bore depth match before seating the joint, and confirm torque ratings are not exceeded in the target application. Follow applicable ANSI or OEM service guidelines for drive train assembly.
