Lovejoy 68514476982 Flexible Bellows Clamp 5/8 in

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514476982 is a flexible bellows clamp-style coupling designed for shaft-to-shaft power transmission applications. It features an aluminum hub paired with stainless steel bellows, combining lightweight construction with corrosion resistance and flexible motion compensation. The coupling accepts a minimum bore diameter of 5/8 inches, measures 1.77 inches in outside diameter, and spans 2.48 inches overall length. It is rated to handle up to 159 inch-pounds of torque. This part is installed by mechanical and industrial service technicians in drive systems requiring torsional flexibility and misalignment accommodation.

This coupling is suited for use in light industrial and mechanical drive applications where shaft coupling with vibration damping or angular misalignment tolerance is required. The clamp-style hub attachment simplifies installation on shafts at or near the 5/8-inch minimum bore. The stainless steel bellows element provides flexibility across the coupling length, making it appropriate for servo drive systems, motion control assemblies, and general-purpose power transmission setups. Part of the BWC Series, size code BWLC63.

Key Features

• Clamp-style hub attachment for secure shaft retention without set screws
• Stainless steel bellows element for torsional flexibility and misalignment compensation
• Aluminum hub construction for reduced rotating mass
• 159 inch-pounds torque rating for light to moderate drive loads
• Compact 2.48-inch overall length suits space-constrained installations
• BWC Series, size code BWLC63 for straightforward catalog cross-reference

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit coupling for shaft drive assemblies requiring a 5/8-inch minimum bore bellows clamp coupling in the LOVEJOY BWC Series.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical technician. Disengage and lock out all power to the drive system before handling or replacing the coupling. Ensure shaft surfaces are clean and free of burrs before seating the clamp hubs. Torque all clamp fasteners to the drive system manufacturer specifications and verify shaft alignment before returning the system to service.
