Lovejoy couplings, being Lovejoy universal Joints or LoveJoy jaw couplings. Both have internal components that has to be maintained, the Lovejoy Universal joint needs its bearings greased and replaced when worn, the Lovejoy Jaw coupling will need to spider insert replaced as it wears.

Twin Spring Coupling offers a one piece design coupling with no internal components that need to be maintained and replaced

The Role of Farming Couplings in Power Transmission and Efficiency in 2024

The Role of Farming Couplings in Power Transmission and Efficiency in 2024

The Role of Farming Couplings in Power Transmission and Efficiency in 2024 The agricultural industry has come a long way from the days of manual labor-intensive farming practices. Today, the sector relies heavily on advanced machinery and equipment to meet the growing global demand for food and agricultural products. At the heart of this mechanized […]

Understanding the Different Types of Industrial Couplings and Their Applications

Industrial power transmission couplings

Understanding the Different Types of Industrial Couplings and Their Applications As a small business owner in the manufacturing industry, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of industrial couplings in keeping my operations running smoothly. These unsung heroes of the mechanical world play a crucial role in transmitting power and motion between rotating shafts, and the […]

Advantages and Disadvantages of Jaw Couplings in Industrial Applications

Jaw couplings

Advantages and Disadvantages of Jaw Couplings in Industrial Applications Introduction In the realm of industrial applications, jaw couplings have gained popularity for their ability to transmit torque while compensating for misalignment. These mechanical devices consist of two hubs connected by an elastomer element, which provides flexibility and dampens vibrations. In this article, we will explore […]

No 1 reason for Coupling failures – bearing contaminants, time for something new?

Coupling Bearing U joint failure

Coupling bearing contaminants – Water, mud, dirt and dust contaminants are one of the many ways that bring uni joints to a halt. Rubber boots, constant greasing and inspections are the usual way used to keep the coupling bearing inside couplings working. That’s part of the ROI but what about the annual cost that adds […]

Coupling Solutions for Industrial power transmission coupling failures

Coupling solutions for industrial sector

Coupling solutions replace Lovejoy Universal Joints, Jaw couplings and other couplings. With the 24/7 demands on industrial couplings especially now with the COVID 19 virus meaning less service people and OEM MRO supplies are available, the service manager of these industrial companies have decisions to make. How do I get the most out of the […]

Couplings – How old power transmission couplings cant last in the era of Industry 4.0 and Amazon

Universal joints replacement

Power transmission couplings – Universal Joints, jaw type couplings, beam couplings, bellows couplings and elastomeric couplings all suffer from the same design flaws. We have always used them, they are the only things we use, we just accept the annual maintenance cost and failure rate. A common story from manufacturers and distributors, the power transmission […]
