Set Screw Flexible Shaft Couplings




Each hub includes a set screw (unless noted), which bites into your shaft to hold the coupling in place. Also known as Lovejoy® couplings, these three-piece couplings have a spider-shaped cushion between two hubs to reduce shock and handle minor shaft misalignment.
A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one spider, or two hubs, one split spider, and one retaining ring (all components sold separately). Split spiders are easier to install and replace than standard spiders because there’s no need for tools or removing your hubs. Twist-lock them in place using a retaining ring.
Buna-N spiders provide good vibration damping and chemical resistance. Hytrel spiders provide fair vibration damping and excellent chemical resistance. Polyurethane spiders and split spiders provide fair vibration damping and good chemical resistance.

Clamping Shaft Couplings


Designed to grip evenly around your shaft, clamping couplings provide more holding power than set screw couplings without marring the shaft. Slide onto the end of your shaft and tighten the clamping screws to secure. Good for high-torque applications, rigid couplings connect two shafts that are aligned, allowing for no relative movement between the shafts.
Stainless steel couplings have excellent corrosion resistance.

Two-Piece Shaft Coupling Bridges

When your shafts are not close enough to use standard couplings, these have the length to bridge the gap. Install them anywhere on a shaft without removing components or having access to the ends of the shaft. Tighten the clamping screws to secure. Good for high-torque applications, rigid couplings connect two shafts that are aligned, allowing for no relative movement between the shafts.

Torque Limiters for Chain and Belt Drives
Prevent damage from overloading. When overloaded, these limiters cause your sprocket or pulley to slip. Once the overload is removed, the limiters automatically reset. Set the torque within the range listed. Friction discs are between the hub and pressure plate.
Double-spring limiters have a second spring for handling nearly twice the torque of single-spring limiters.
Optional sprockets are designed specifically to fit their corresponding limiters. These hubless sprockets are not interchangeable.
