Lovejoy 69790400107 Steel Sleeve Rigid Coupling 5.5 in

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 69790400107 is a steel sleeve rigid coupling designed to create a fixed, zero-flex connection between two co-linear shafts. Constructed from carbon steel, this sleeve-style coupling transmits torque without allowing angular, parallel, or axial misalignment between connected shafts. At 5.5 inches outside diameter and 6 pounds, it is sized for medium-to-heavy industrial and mechanical drive applications. Rigid couplings of this type are used when precise shaft alignment is maintained and deflection cannot be tolerated in the drive train. Installation requires properly aligned shafts before final fastening.

This rigid sleeve coupling is suited for industrial machinery, pump drives, compressor shafts, and similar rotating equipment where a solid, non-flexible shaft connection is required. It is installed by licensed millwrights, mechanical contractors, and industrial maintenance technicians working on drive systems that demand tight shaft-to-shaft alignment. The carbon steel construction handles the torque loads typical of commercial and light industrial rotating equipment.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction for durability under mechanical torque loads
• 5.5 inches outside diameter for medium-to-heavy drive shaft applications
• Rigid sleeve design provides a fixed, zero-flex shaft connection
• 6 pounds — substantial construction suited for sustained rotating service
• Package quantity of 1 unit per order

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rigid sleeve coupling for industrial and mechanical drive systems requiring a fixed shaft connection at 5.5 inches outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Rigid couplings must be installed by qualified mechanical or industrial maintenance personnel. Shaft alignment must be verified to exact tolerances before installation, as this coupling type provides no compensation for misalignment. De-energize and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing any coupling. Consult applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures and the equipment manufacturer's service documentation before beginning work.
