- For a broad overview on grid couplings, please consider reading: Why a Grid Coupling – Features & Benefits, Design Basics, and Element Options.
- While Lovejoy grid couplings are designed to handle a lot of abuse, the grid coupling is a metal-on-metal design an may eventually experience fatigue failure. To review how and why grid couplings wear out, please read: Grid Coupling Failure Analysis (includes photos).
- To better understand the trade-offs between horizontal and vertical grid coupling cover options, check out: What is the difference between Horizontal and Vertical Grid Couplings?
- Proper lubrication is critical to the longevity of a grid coupling. To learn more about lubricating grid couplings, please see: How should you pack the grease in a Grid Coupling?
- While grid couplings have many excellent benefits, they are limited in their ability to handle angular and (especially) parallel shaft misalignment. To review the sensitivity of grid couplings to misalignment, see: How sensitive are Grid Couplings to misalignment?
