Lovejoy 68514436424 Flexible Two Piece Sleeve Epdm

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514436424 is a flexible two-piece sleeve coupling designed for shaft-to-shaft power transmission in industrial and mechanical drive applications. Manufactured from Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), this sleeve insert accommodates bore diameters from 7/8 inch up to 2-3/8 inches and delivers a rated torque of 1,800 inch-pounds. The 3-inch overall length and 6-inch outside diameter fit within the Series JE coupling family. Mechanical technicians and millwrights install this part where vibration dampening and misalignment tolerance are priorities in rotating equipment.

This sleeve is suited for light-to-medium industrial drive systems including pump drives, compressor couplings, conveyor shafts, and general power transmission setups. The two-piece construction allows the sleeve to be installed and removed without disturbing connected equipment, making it practical for maintenance scenarios where downtime must be minimized. Its EPDM material provides resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering, which extends service life in outdoor or thermally demanding environments.

Key Features

• EPDM material offers heat, ozone, and weathering resistance for demanding environments
• Two-piece sleeve design enables installation and removal without full shaft disassembly
• Bore range of 7/8 inch to 2-3/8 inches accommodates a wide variety of shaft sizes
• Rated torque of 1,800 inch-pounds supports medium-duty power transmission loads
• 6-inch outside diameter and 3-inch overall length conform to Series JE coupling dimensions
• Sleeve insert style provides vibration dampening and accommodates minor shaft misalignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sleeve insert for Series JE flexible jaw couplings accepting bore diameters from 7/8 inch to 2-3/8 inches with a 6-inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out all power to the drive system before servicing the coupling. Verify shaft diameters fall within the 7/8-inch to 2-3/8-inch bore range before installation. Inspect coupling hubs for wear or damage and replace as needed before seating the new sleeve insert.
