Double U-Joint Handles Large Amount Of Misalignment

Lovejoy’s universal joints can be used in angular and parallel misalignment applications where the misalignment is greater than what most flexible couplings can handle. The company’s standard D Type provides up to 25 degrees of angular misalignment, while the DD Type allows for angular and larger amounts of parallel offset, due to its double u-joint configuration. The heavy-duty, long-life HD Type features induction-hardened yokes in the assembly. Needle bearings are used in the NB Type to compensate for applications requiring speeds up to 6,000 rpm. The LOJ and JR-4 Types allow up to 45 degrees of angular misalignment in hand-crank type applications.
