Jaw In-Shear coupling
The Lovejoy Jaw In Shear (JIS) ring an insert allows any existing user of the standard Lovejoy Jaw design to upgrade to an in-shear design coupling. The JIS design allows for quicker element change-out for rapid intervention and production resumption. The JIS coupling uses the same simple maintenance procedure as the standard Lovejoy Jaw product, […]
The 4 best jaw couplings videos online
Good vibrations? Not really. When you need a coupling to handle impulse loads, misalignment, electrical isolation and more, jaw couplings are the most common choice. A staple in semiconductor, medical, solar and many other applications, jaw couplings are nearly everywhere. And so are the online videos featuring them. Here, we break down some of the […]

The reinvention of the gear coupling
by Michael Jermann, Assistant Editor A new development in gear couplings allows downsizing without loss of performance. Gear couplings handle motion functions that other coupling types are unable to, or that need modifications and de-rating to function. Plus, they can be modified for shear pin service, floating shaft type, vertical applications, electrical isolation, limited end […]
HercuFlex gear couplings improve performance while maintaining interchangeability
The HercuFlex series of gear couplings from Lovejoy were designed with a large bore capacity, high nominal torque ratings and misalignment capabilities of 1.5° per gear mesh. Yet the couplings still meet the AGMA flange standards (allowing interchangeability with existing flanges gear couplings) and come available in AGMA sizes 1 to 30. HercuFlex consists of […]
Jaw coupling overview – features, benefits & design basics
Jaw couplings are a general, all-purpose industrial power transmission device that operates in a range of temperatures, handles angular misalignment and the accompanying reactionary loads, resists chemicals and has good speed and dampening capabilities. A basic jaw coupling is made of three parts: two hubs, generally bored to a clearance fit tolerance, and an elastomeric […]
