Lovejoy universal joints are in 2 model types the old block and pin and the newer needle bearing models.
Both still need their center maintained (block constantly greased like the needle bearing) and replaced when worn. The block and pin design can only be used at 1750 RPM and NB model 6000 RPM.
Twin Spring Coupling can run at 7000 rpm, more flexible (up to 45° angular misalignment) and high torque (Up to 6000 In Lbs. of static torque)
One TSC coupling can replace both Lovejoy universal joints.

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 […]

Bearing Failure in Uni joints, there are only a few option available. The universal joint is one of these fundamental shaft coupling solutions, it’s been used for the past 115 years in the automotive industry and longer in other areas like Industrial and farming. The three-piece design while simple, has always had to been maintained […]
