LOVEJOY

Brand reference:75583

Lovejoy has developed metal-detectable coupling inserts for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. Lovejoy is a business unit of Timken Company, a global leader in engineered bearings and power transmission products, and is seeking end users to test their newly developed metal-detectable coupling inserts. The tested products can be used in QUICK FLEX, S-FLEX Endurance, straight jaw, and curved jaw couplings. Lovejoy conducted accelerated fatigue dynamic torque testing and determined that the new formulation matches standard coupling insert torque ratings in terms of product performance. Although most couplings are located in non-food-contact areas, contamination cannot always be prevented. In such cases, manufacturers want to be able to detect worn components contaminating the product as early as possible during production.

German LOVEJOY coupling LOVEJOY model LOVEJOY price

LOVEJOY couplings connect two flanged half-couplings to their respective shafts using standard parallel keys, and then bolt the two half-couplings together into a single unit to transmit motion and torque. This type of coupling has two main structural forms: (1) alignment of the two shafts is achieved by bolts in reamed holes, with torque transmitted through compression and shear on the bolt shanks; (2) alignment is achieved by the fit between a spigot on one half-coupling and a recess on the other. The bolts connecting the two half-couplings can be grade A and grade B standard bolts, with torque transmitted via the frictional moment at the mating surfaces of the two half-couplings.
