Lovejoy 68514431180 D-type Single Universal Joint

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514431180 is a D-type single universal joint designed to transmit rotational motion between shafts that are misaligned or require angular flexibility. Rated at 10,400 in/lb torque, this joint handles demanding drive applications where a rigid coupling is not suitable. It features a 1-inch inside diameter bore, a 2-inch outside diameter, and an overall length of 5-7/16 inches. The unit weighs 4.2 pounds. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers for this class of drive component.

This universal joint is suited for industrial and mechanical drive systems where shaft-to-shaft angular misalignment must be accommodated. Typical applications include conveyor drives, pump drives, agricultural equipment, and general power transmission assemblies. The D-type single configuration provides a compact, single-joint solution for moderate-angle misalignment scenarios in both stationary and mobile equipment. It is packaged individually with a minimum order quantity of one unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed millwright, maintenance mechanic, or qualified technician. Isolate and lock out all power sources to the drive system before removing the existing joint or installing this component. Verify shaft diameter, bore depth, and alignment tolerances prior to installation to ensure proper fit and torque transfer. Consult the equipment manufacturer service documentation and applicable ANSI or AGMA standards for drive assembly procedures.
