Lovejoy 68514436864 Flexible Split Sleeve Epdm

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514436864 is a flexible one piece split sleeve coupling insert made from Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM). It is designed to transmit torque between shafts while accommodating misalignment in industrial drive systems. The sleeve fits bore diameters from 7/8 inch minimum to 2-3/8 inches maximum and has an outside diameter of 6 inches with an overall length of 3 inches. Rated at 1800 inch-pounds of torque, this Series JE sleeve insert is installed by maintenance technicians and industrial mechanics in coupling assemblies across a wide range of power transmission applications.

This split sleeve design is suited for use in light to medium industrial applications where the coupling must be serviced or replaced without moving the connected shafts. The one piece split construction allows the sleeve to be installed or removed radially, reducing downtime during maintenance. It is commonly found in pump drives, conveyor systems, compressor drives, and similar rotating equipment in both commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• One piece split sleeve construction allows radial installation and removal without shaft disassembly
• EPDM material provides good resistance to heat, weathering, and many industrial fluids
• Accommodates bore diameters from 7/8 inch to 2-3/8 inches
• Rated torque capacity of 1800 inch-pounds (264.38 Newton-meters)
• Series JE sleeve insert style for use in compatible JE series coupling hubs
• Outside diameter of 6 inches and overall length of 3 inches for dimensional fitment in coupling housings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sleeve insert for use in JE series flexible coupling assemblies requiring a one piece split sleeve with a bore range of 7/8 inch to 2-3/8 inches and a 6 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified industrial mechanics or maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out the drive system before servicing the coupling per applicable LOTO procedures. The split sleeve design allows radial installation without shaft removal, but confirm hub and sleeve alignment before returning the drive to service. Do not exceed the rated torque value for this sleeve during application sizing.
