GS Type – Standard Curved Jaw Coupling
- Backlash free capability (for applications requiring precision & accuracy)
- Fail-safe (will still perform if elastomeric “spider” fails)
- No metal to metal contact
- Resistant to oil, dirt, sand, moisture, and grease
GS Type – Standard Curved Jaw Coupling Additional Resources
- Keyway With Set Screw (KW) – Standard Lovejoy method of securing a hub to a shaft. Clamping style recommended for backlash free torque transmission
- Without Keyway, With Set Screw – Set screw used to secure hub to shaft. This hub design should be used in applications with non-reversing and low torque characteristics.
- Clamping Hub With Single Slot Without Keyway (C) – Zero backlash, clamping style for torque transmission. Torque capacity of hub depends on bore size.
- Clamping Hub With Single Slot With Keyway (CWK) – Zero backlash, clamping style with keyway for torque transmission. Useable in applications featuring reversing loads.
- Clamping Hub With Double Slot Without Keyway (DSC) – Transmits torque utilizing a double split clamp to attach hub to shaft. Zero or minimum backlash. Torque capacity of coupling determined by bore size.
- Clamping Hub With Double Slot With Keyway (DSCK) – Transmits torque utilizing a double split clamp to attach hub to shaft. Zero or minimum backlash.
- Hub With Frictional Locking (LD) – This hub utilizes a shaft locking device to allow for shaft engagement. This design features bolts tightened on the jaw side of the hub.
Please download catalog, as torque is highly dependent on coupling hub type selection.
