The coupling features an aluminum hub paired with a stainless steel bellows element, combining lightweight construction with corrosion resistance and torsional flexibility. It accepts a minimum bore diameter of 1\/4 inch, measures 1.614 inches in overall length, and has an outside diameter of 1.28 inches. Rated at 40 inch-pounds of torque, this coupling is suited for servo, stepper, and encoder shaft connections where angular and parallel misalignment must be accommodated without sacrificing positional accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bellows clamp coupling is used in light industrial and automation environments, including CNC machinery, robotics, instrumentation, and drive systems requiring a zero-backlash connection. The clamp-style hub allows secure shaft engagement without set screws that can damage shaft surfaces. It is part of the BWC series, size code BWC41, and is typically installed by mechanical technicians, automation integrators, and maintenance professionals working on motion control equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamp-style hub design secures to shaft without damaging the shaft surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel bellows element accommodates angular and parallel misalignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum hub construction reduces rotational mass while maintaining strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated at 40 inch-pounds of torque for light-duty power transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 1.614 inches OAL and 1.28 inches OD for tight installation envelopes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the BWC series, size code BWC41, for consistent cross-referencing\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 motion control shafts with a 1\/4 inch bore diameter within the LOVEJOY BWC series bellows clamp coupling line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by mechanical technicians or automation integrators. Ensure all equipment is de-energized and shafts are stationary before installing or removing the coupling. Clamp-style hubs require proper tightening of the clamping screws to the fastener manufacturer specifications using calibrated tooling — do not overtighten, as this can deform the hub bore. Verify shaft alignment within the coupling's rated misalignment tolerance before applying load.\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\u003eSize Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: BWC41\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Bore Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\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\u003eTorque Rating\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: 68514476958\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LOVEJOY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542307733810,"sku":"68514476958","price":290.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c8edb7fcc142074858ec4008f0d094cb.jpg?v=1785897623","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/lovejoy-68514476958-flexible-bellows-clamp-1-4-in-bore","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
