Lovejoy 68514431171 D-type Single Universal Joint 5280 In/lbs

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514431171 is a D-type single universal joint designed to transmit rotational motion between shafts that are misaligned or offset. It handles a rated torque of 5,280 inch-pounds and fits a 3/4-inch inside bore with a 1-3/16-inch bore depth. The outside diameter measures 1-1/2 inches and the overall length (OAL) is 4-1/4 inches. This type of universal joint is a standard component in mechanical drive systems and is typically installed by millwrights, industrial maintenance technicians, or mechanical contractors working on power transmission applications.

D-type single universal joints are commonly used in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, pump drives, and other rotating equipment where a single-joint configuration provides the necessary angular accommodation. The compact dimensions of this joint make it suitable for installations with limited clearance. It is appropriate for both light industrial and general mechanical drive setups where the torque requirement falls within the rated capacity of this joint.

Key Features

• Rated torque of 5,280 inch-pounds for reliable power transmission
• 3/4-inch inside bore diameter for standard shaft fitment
• 1-3/16-inch bore depth provides adequate shaft engagement
• 1-1/2-inch outside diameter suits installations with tight radial clearance
• 4-1/4-inch overall length for compact drive train integration
• D-type single joint configuration for single-point angular misalignment correction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit universal joint for mechanical drive assemblies requiring a D-type single universal joint with a 3/4-inch bore and 5,280 inch-pound torque rating.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician familiar with power transmission components. Disconnect and lock out all power sources before removing the existing joint or installing this unit. Verify shaft diameter and bore depth match before pressing or securing the joint. Ensure proper angular alignment within the joint's rated operating range to avoid premature wear or failure.
