Features
Specific Applications: Lovejoy L type hubs are ideal for high torque transmission and speed requirements in sprockets. They also offer highly reliable service for internal combustion power transmission and heavy, medium & light duty electrical motor applications.
Hub Design::
Fail-safe design: Even after the spider legs are sheared away, the metallic hubs will interlock and continue to transmit torque. This can be a useful feature during short-term cases of emergency.
They are bored to a clearance fit tolerance with a single keyway and supplied with a set screw for quick installation.
Coupling Size-Material Relevance:
Small-to-medium-sized hubs (L035 to L190) are made of powder metal (sintered iron). They can be pressed very close to the finished net shape, minimise downtime & cost of machining, as well as eliminate scrap production.
Large-sized hubs (above L190) are made of cast iron. They can handle higher loads.
Aluminium (AL type) and stainless steel (SS type) hubs are non-standard. The former is preferred for its lightweight and rust-inhibiting properties, while the latter is suitable for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.
