Lovejoy 68514476985 Flexible Bellows Clamp 1 Inch Bore

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514476985 is a clamp-style flexible bellows coupling designed for shaft-to-shaft power transmission in mechanical drive systems. The hub is machined from aluminum and paired with a stainless steel bellows element, combining lightweight construction with high torsional stiffness. This coupling accommodates a 1 inch bore and measures 1.77 inches in outside diameter with an overall length of 2.48 inches. It is rated for up to 159 inch-pounds of torque. Mechanical contractors, millwrights, and industrial service technicians install this type of coupling where misalignment compensation and precise torque transmission are required.

This bellows clamp coupling is suited for use in motion control, servo drive, pump, and light industrial equipment applications where shaft coupling with minimal backlash is critical. The clamp-style hub attachment allows secure fastening to the shaft without the need for keyways, making it practical for both new installations and field replacements. It is appropriate for residential and commercial mechanical equipment where a compact, rigid-flex coupling is specified.

Key Features

• Clamp-style hub attachment provides secure, backlash-resistant shaft engagement
• Aluminum hub reduces rotating mass while maintaining structural integrity
• Stainless steel bellows element handles angular and axial misalignment
• Rated torque of 159 inch-pounds suits a range of light to medium drive applications
• Compact envelope: 1.77 inches OD and 2.48 inches overall length
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit bellows clamp coupling for mechanical drive systems requiring a 1 inch bore, clamp-style hub connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or mechanical technician. De-energize and lock out all power to the connected equipment before removing or installing the coupling. Ensure shaft surfaces are clean and free of burrs before seating the clamp hub. Tighten clamp fasteners evenly and verify shaft alignment within the coupling's rated misalignment tolerance before returning the system to service.
