The aluminum hub paired with a stainless steel bellows element provides torsional stiffness while accommodating minor angular, parallel, and axial misalignment. With an overall length of 1.614 inches, an outside diameter of 1.28 inches, and a rated torque of 40 inch-pounds, this compact coupling suits precision drive systems where reliable torque transfer and corrosion resistance are required. It is part of the LOVEJOY BWC series and is sold in individual units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is used in light-to-medium duty drive trains found in industrial automation, servo motor assemblies, pump drives, and similar rotary power transmission setups. The clamp-style hub design allows secure shaft retention without set screws, reducing the risk of shaft marring. The 1\/2 inch minimum bore diameter makes it appropriate for small-diameter motor and gearbox shafts common in compact drive packages. Installation is handled by mechanical technicians and motion control specialists working on precision equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamp-style hub provides secure shaft grip without damaging shaft surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel bellows element accommodates misalignment while maintaining torsional rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum hub keeps assembly weight low for high-speed or inertia-sensitive applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated torque of 40 inch-pounds suitable for light-to-medium duty servo and motor applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 1.614 inches overall length fits space-constrained drive systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the LOVEJOY BWC series for consistent replacement and sourcing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit coupling for 1\/2 inch bore shaft applications within the LOVEJOY BWC series (Size Code BWC41).

Ensure both mating shafts are clean, free of burrs, and within the specified bore diameter before seating the clamp hubs. Torque the clamp fasteners evenly and verify shaft alignment after installation to protect the bellows element from premature fatigue. This type of coupling is typically installed by mechanical or electromechanical technicians familiar with motion control drive systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoupling Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bellows Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: BWC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoupling Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: BWC41\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Bore Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.28 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.614 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated Torque\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 inch-pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBellows Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: LOVEJOY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 68514476950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LOVEJOY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541385609522,"sku":"68514476950","price":290.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4d4379fea1f0ba64a310a4dc226a2ee4.jpg?v=1785874413","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/lovejoy-68514476950-flexible-bellows-clamp-1-2-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
