Lovejoy 39496 Size 40HT Deltaflex Spacer Flange, Inch, 4.38" OD, 1,260 in-lbs Max Torque
Lovejoy 39496 Size 40HT Deltaflex Spacer Flange, Inch, 4.38" OD, 1,260 in-lbs Max Torque
This Lovejoy Deltaflex spacer flange replaces spacer flanges on Lovejoy Deltaflex series flexible couplings. It is made of stamped steel for strength and durability, and attaches to both delta hubs and round hubs from the Deltaflex series. This spacer flange includes mounting holes for spacer or floating shafts so that two distant shaft ends can be joined, and mounts in place using Lovejoy Deltaflex hub coupling hardware (sold separately). Lovejoy Deltaflex series couplings are suitable for use in various applications such as cooling towers, pumps, compressors, turbine drives, fans, wind tunnels, mixers, and single bearing generator drives, among others.Flexible couplings are used to link two rotating shafts that are not aligned in order to transmit the rotational power, known as torque, from one shaft to the other. Most flexible couplings consist of two hubs and a middle assembly; each hub attaches to a shaft while the middle assembly flexes between the hubs to accommodate the misalignment of the two shafts. Shaft misalignments are generally either parallel or angular and cause complications to transmitting rotational power from one shaft to another in the form of stresses, loads, vibrations, and other forces, which vary from one type of misalignment to another. Flexible couplings are used in a broad range of applications, such as in motor vehicles, conveyors, escalators, agricultural, forestry and mining equipment, aeronautics, robotics and space exploration, among others.Lovejoy manufactures flexible couplings, universal joints, variable speed drives and various other transmission and mechanical power products. Their products meet the standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) for quality assurance. The company, founded in 1900, is based in Downers Grove, IL.
