Failure to do so may cause the power Transmission product to break and parts to be thrown with sufficient force to cause severe injury or to this Lovejoy Catalog for proper selection, sizing, horsepower, torque range, and speed range of power Transmission Products , including elastomeric elements for couplings. Follow the installation instructions included with the product , and in the individual product catalogs for proper installation of power Transmission Products . Do not exceed catalog start up and operation of power Transmission product , avoid sudden shock loads.

2 Coupling assembly should operate quietly and smoothly. If coupling assembly vibrates or makes beating sound, shut down immediately, and recheck alignment. Shortly after initial operation and periodically thereafter, where applicable, inspect coupling assembly for: alignment, wear of elastomeric element, bolt torques, and flexing elements for signs of fatigue. Do not operate coupling assembly if alignment is improper, or where applicable, if elastomeric element is damaged, or worn to less than 75% of its original not use any of these power Transmission Products for elevators, man lifts, or other devices that carry people. If the power Transmission product fails, the lift device could fall resulting in severe injury or all power Transmission Products , you must install suitable guards in accordance with OSHA and American Society of Mechanical Engineers Standards.

3 Do not start power Transmission product before suitable guards are in place. Failure to properly guard these Products may result in severe injury or death from personnel contacting moving parts or from parts being thrown from assembly in the event the power Transmission product you have any questions, contact the Lovejoy Engineering Department at WarningSP-2 Specialty of ContentsSP-3 Specialty ProductsOverview ..304 ..SP-4 Deltaflex > Overview ..305 ..SP-5 Deltaflex Types > Overview ..308 ..SP-8 Deltaflex Types > Selection Process ..309 ..SP-9 Application Service Factors > Selection Process ..310 ..SP-10 Deltaflex HP / Torque Ratings > Performance Data ..311 ..SP-11 Deltaflex Type 1 > Dimensional Data ..312 ..SP-12 Deltaflex Type 2 and 2A > Dimensional Data.

5 Page ProductsOverviewDeltaflexThe patented Deltaflex series of couplings offer maximum misalignment capabilities with negligible reactionary load, for longer equipment life. This all-metal flex-link coupling requires no lubrication or other maintenance. Typical applications include: compressors, pumps, fans, positioning devices, indexing tables, mixers, papermill roll drives, drive line shafts, turbine drives, wind tunnels, cooling towers, and single bearing generator drives. UniflexThis single piece coupling series solves a variety of application concerns, including high misalignment , space limitations, high temperature and exceptionally low backlash/windup. Typical applications include textile equipment, printing and binding registration, robotics/positioning, conveyors, carton folding and gluing equipment, machine tools, centrifugal pumps, agricultural machinery, blowers and winding machines.

6 SagaThe Saga series of couplings offer lower torsional stiffness than any other rubber-in-compression coupling. There is no equal for high shock start/stop applications such as many piston-driven devices, compressors, violent pounding, or crushing units. Rigid SleeveOur Rigid Sleeve couplings are suitable for use in joining any two shafts when flexibility is not required. Consisting of a one piece sleeve, the coupling slips onto the ends of the two shafts and is held in place by two set screws. This coupling is best suited for light to medium-duty applications. Shaft CollarsA shaft collar limits the range of travel allowed along the shaft by motor bases, machine tools, and other such items. The precision-machined collars offer ease of installation and the best possible holding strength.

Failure to follow the instructions and precautions can result in severe injury or CollarsRigid ProductsDeltaflexOverviewIllustration AMisalignment Capability (Size 60 Illustrated)Illustration BStandard SeriesIllustration CHT SeriesDeltaflex Coupling DesignThe Deltaflex coupling is the real solution to installation, misalignment , and performance problems. Conventional couplings even when carefully aligned to the manufacturer s specifications cannot match the low level of vibration, moment of inertia, and additional cushion for future misalignment of a visually aligned Deltaflex coupling. In addition, the Deltaflex coupling gives longer life to equipment shaft bearings.

8 That means longer operating time and reduced maintenance cost. The Deltaflex can handle greater shaft misalignment without generating heavy reaction loads on the equipment shaft bearings. A properly applied and installed Deltaflex coupling offers more equipment protection compared to conventional couplings. FeaturesMaximum misalignment capabilities, with negligible reactionary load, for longer equipment bearing life. (see illustrations A, B and C)Operates as smoothly when misaligned as when perfectly aligned No lubrication and no maintenance required Equipment can be visually aligned. No special tools are required, which saves on installation time and costEliminates premature equipment bearing and seal failure resulting from misalignment forces.

9 This means greater equipment productivityTorsionally stiff coupling with no backlash means it is capable of high speed applications, within catalog ratingsProvides long-term performance and economy Available in 5 basic sizes, from 10HP to 900HP Standard all-metal and stainless steel versions are both available from stock. Many configurations are available, including shaft-to-shaft, spacer, floating shaft, and special assembliesNote: n Illustrations B and C assume no axial 1 DeltaflexJWJISCJSFMCGHPGDDTSPUJVSDRSLDED JWJISCJSFMCGHPGDDTSPUJVSDRSLDED306630-85 2-0500SP-6 Specialty ProductsDeltaflexOverviewGraph AGraph CGraph BGraph DAs graphs A and B clearly illustrate, radial load placed on the shaft bearings of the connected equipment by conventional couplings can substantially reduce bearing life and induce detrimental vibration.

10 If the misaligned coupling creates a radial load as can be the case with conventional couplings then nearly 75% of B-10 bearing design life is sacrificed. By using the Deltaflex coupling, B-10 life remains close to 100% of design life, even at maximum the Deltaflex coupling is designed for infinite fatigue life at maximum angular misalignment at rated torque inadvertent misalignment caused by temperature expansion, equipment frame flexing, foundation movement, environment, etc. will not shorten the life of the coupling or life of the connected Design Concept**The concept of the Deltaflex coupling and its misalignment capabilities can be illustrated best when compared to conventional coupling design (see Graphs C and D). Most conventional couplings torque and misalignment capabilities are dependent upon a single flexing member.
