Lovejoy 68514431170 D-type Single Universal Joint

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514431170 is a D-type single universal joint designed to transmit rotational motion between shafts that are misaligned or require angular flexibility. Built for mechanical drive applications, this universal joint handles up to 3,480 inch-pounds of torque and features a bore depth of 1-1/16 inches. It measures 5/8 inches inside diameter and 1-1/4 inches outside diameter, with an overall length of 3-3/4 inches. Licensed millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial technicians install this type of joint in drive shaft assemblies where angular compensation is required. The compact D-type single configuration suits both new builds and replacement service work.

This universal joint is suited for mechanical power transmission systems in industrial, agricultural, and commercial equipment. It is commonly installed in drive shaft linkages, conveyor systems, and machine tool assemblies where moderate torque transfer and angular misalignment accommodation are needed. The D-type single configuration makes it a practical choice for applications requiring a straightforward, single-joint coupling solution without a full double-joint assembly.

Key Features

• Rated torque capacity of 3,480 inch-pounds for reliable power transmission under load
• Bore depth of 1-1/16 inches accommodates standard shaft sizing
• Inside diameter of 5/8 inches with outside diameter of 1-1/4 inches
• Overall length of 3-3/4 inches for compact installation in tight drive shaft arrangements
• D-type single joint design provides angular flexibility between connected shafts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation universal joint for mechanical drive shaft assemblies requiring a D-type single configuration with a 1-1/16 inch bore depth and 3,480 inch-pound torque rating.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or millwright familiar with mechanical drive shaft assemblies. Disconnect and lock out all power sources before disassembling existing driveline components. Ensure shaft and bore dimensions are confirmed before installation to avoid misfit. Follow applicable ANSI or OEM service guidelines for universal joint installation and inspection intervals.
