Lovejoy 69790400125 gear coupling hub is a useful component in mechanical power transmission systems that connects two shafts to transmit power efficiently between them. It consists of two hubs, each attached to a shaft and a flexible gear sleeve that connects the hubs. The gear sleeve has internal teeth that mesh with external teeth on the hubs, allowing for torque to be transmitted while accommodating misalignment between the shafts. This Lovejoy gear coupling is commonly used in manufacturing, mining, agriculture and construction settings due to its ability to handle high torque loads, compensate for shaft misalignment, dampen vibration and reduce shock loads.
Features:
- Lovejoy 69790400125 gear coupling hub has a flex type of Flex-Rigid, providing flexibility and rigidity as needed.
- It has a low-profile compact design for easy implementation.
- This Lovejoy gear coupling comes with a hub made of steel for durability and strength.
- It comes in metallic finish for a bright appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the difference between rigid couplings and flexible couplings?
A. Rigid couplings create a rigid connection between two shafts, allowing smooth torque transmission throughout the system. Flexible couplings, on the other hand, create flexible connections and components may lose some torque power during the interaction.
Q. Can Lovejoy gear couplings accommodate angular misalignment?
A. Lovejoy gear couplings are designed to accommodate angular misalignment as well as parallel misalignment between shafts.
Q. What is the bore size of this Lovejoy 69790400125 gear coupling hub?
A. It has a bore of 60 - 130 mm.
Q. What precautions should be taken during installation to avoid damaging Lovejoy gear couplings?
A. During installation, handle Lovejoy gear couplings with care to avoid dropping or impacting the components. Ensure that shafts are clean and free from debris before mounting the couplings, and use appropriate tools & techniques to avoid scratching or denting the surfaces.
