Selector guidance, replacement tips and application reminders for Lovejoy coupling decisions.
When a servo motor encoder starts throwing errors or a linear actuator locks up, don't assume the worst. A Lovejoy coupling size chart can pinpoint the real problem fast. Here's how a rush-order specialist uses it.
Continue readingA Lovejoy coupling reduces vibration, shock loads, and minor misalignment. A procurement manager explains when the L070 Lovejoy coupling works with brushless DC servo motors, and when it doesn't.
Continue readingA procurement manager's story about an urgent Lovejoy coupling L-100 order, a size chart check, and why total cost beats sticker price.
Continue readingA procurement manager explains why genuine Lovejoy couplings—including the Lovejoy coupling L100 and Lovejoy grid coupling—often beat cheap alternatives. Also covers disc brake diagram torque, A4988 stepper motor driver builds, and what's a VFD for retrofit planning.
Continue readingFive years of buying Lovejoy couplings for an automation company taught me what matters: spec accuracy, spider durometer, and authorized distributors. Covers L100 jaw couplings, Sier-Bath gear couplings, and when cheaper makes sense.
Continue readingA field-tested, no-fluff checklist for selecting and installing Lovejoy couplings. Written by a maintenance technician who made 14 expensive mistakes so you don't have to.
Continue readingNeed to know what size VFD for 5HP motor? Get the practical answer plus hard-earned advice on matching a Lovejoy coupling, including L070 and spline couplings for servo motors and drives.
Continue readingA practical 6-step checklist for ordering Lovejoy couplings—L-100, hydraulic, and more—plus the motors, controllers, and bearings that go with them. Written by a buyer who documented $8,000 of mistakes so you don't have to.
Continue readingA maintenance engineer explains why picking a 5/8 Lovejoy coupling for a NEMA stepper motor or servo motor is not about bore size—and what Pete Jackson gear drives taught me about trusting old part names.
Continue readingA procurement manager shares the $12 coupling mistake that cost $2,300 in servo motor repairs—and how to read the Lovejoy spider size chart correctly.
