Installation Guide
1.0 INTRODUCTION:

The following document is intended for the explicit use of Lovejoy

customers to aid in the installation of Lovejoy power transmission
products. The information may be considered privileged and should
only be disseminated as an active part of conducting business with
Lovejoy, Inc.

Although the coupling may have been properly specified during the
design and selection process before the coupling was ordered,
operational conditions could possibly have changed prior to
installation. Lovejoy, Inc. provides the information and technical
support necessary to ensure the appropriate coupling selection was
made relative to the product specifications and limitations of
Lovejoy’s power transmission products. The end user is ultimately
responsible for verifying the suitability of the final coupling selection
based on the actual service conditions at the time the coupling is
installed.

Correct installation and alignment practices will ensure longer

coupling life, trouble free operation, and a safer operating 3.0 PRODUCT INSPECTION:

 Warning! If an oil bath is used, the couplings will need to be
heated to approximately 350º F (177º C) or more, so
the oil must have a flash point above 350º F (177º C).

6.5.2 Induction Heating can be used as long as the temperature rise

in the hub is uniform and controlled.

6.5.3 Oven Heating offers definite advantages over oil bath heating.
Parts can be heated to higher temperatures, usually 450º F to 600º F
(235º C to 315º C). 600º F is the maximum temperature where the
steel hub has not yet started to go through an annealing process and
yet can still be handled with heat resistant gloves. When heating the
hubs in an oven, place them on a rack and do not rest the hubs on the
oven surface. The hubs should remain in the oven for a sufficient
period of time to heat the hub all the way through.

6.5.4 Open Flame Heating is typically not recommended. If the hub

is being heated with an oxyacetylene, or blow torch, use an excess
acetylene mixture. Mark the hub body at the top, center, and bottom
along the length of the hub with heat resistant crayons, one with a
350º F (177º C) melt temperature and another with a 450º F (232º C)
melt temperature. The hub should be sitting elevated on refractory
bricks oriented to allow the flame to flow through the hub. With a “Blue
Flame” or “Rosebud” torch, direct the flame towards the hub bore
