Overview

Couplings Reduce Vibration, Absorb Shock

and Compensate for Misalignment.
The Power of Torsional Damping
The Lovejoy G-Type Flexible Grid Coupling reduces vibration by as much
as 30%, and cushions shock loads to safeguard your driving and driven
equipment. The flexible nature of the spring-like grid absorbs impact energy
by spreading it out over time, thus reducing the magnitude of the peak
loads. This is possible because of the progressive contact that occurs
between the curved profile of the hub teeth and the flexible grid. Therefore,
as the load increases, more of the tooth comes into contact with the grid,
thus supplying superior protection and supreme performance.
Lovejoy G-Type Flexible Grid Couplings are designed for versatility.
Common hubs and grids are used within a given size range for both
horizontal and vertical split cover models. Grid installation and replacement is a snap at only a fraction of the complete coupling cost.

HORIZONTALLY SPLIT COVER

Ideal for limited space.
Allows easy access to grid.
Well-suited for reversing service.
Manufactured from die-cast aluminum.

Benefits of the Grid Coupling include:

GD

Our 1000 Series Tapered Grid coupling is fully interchangeable with

industry standards.
Quick installation and easy maintenance reduces labor and downtime
costs.
Torsionally flexible and resilient - reduces vibration, plus cushions shock
and impact loads.
Versatile stock components can be used with either horizontal or vertical
covers. Cover fasteners available in either Metric or Imperial sizes.
High tensile, shot-peened alloy steel grids and precision machined hubs
ensure superior performance and long life.

Top Quality Manufacturing

Made from a high tensile alloy steel, the grid spring is carefully formed to
shape, then hardened and tempered under controlled conditions. Next, the
grids are shot-peened, compressing the surface molecules and leaving a
residually stressed surface. This process creates a stronger surface in
compression.

VERTICALLY SPLIT COVER

Ideal for higher operating speeds.
Manufactured from stamped steel.

Any load applied on the coupling in operation must first surmount the
compressive forces created by peening before the tensile stress reaches
the grid. This provides a dramatic increase in rating over other coupling
types, increases reserve strength for longer life and may permit selection
of a smaller coupling, thus reducing cost.
The Lovejoy Grid spring/hub tooth arrangement has been specifically
designed for optimum performance and supreme reliability. Not only does
the hub tooth profile permit progressive loading under torsional shock
conditions, but unique root radii are incorporated to significantly improve
the fatigue life of the teeth.

! WARNING
You must refer to page iv for Important Safety Instructions and Precautions for
the selection and use of these products. Failure to follow the instructions and
precautions can result in severe injury or death.

Selection Process

Grid Coupling Selection Process

The selection process for determining the proper grid coupling size requires
using the charts shown on the following pages. There are three components
to be selected: two hubs and one cover. When the shaft size of the driver
and driven of the application are of the same diameter, the hubs selected
will be the same. When shaft diameters differ, hubs selected will differ
accordingly.
Information necessary before a grid coupling can be selected:
HP (or KW) and RPM or Torque of driver
Shaft sizes and type of fit of driver and driven equipment and
corresponding keyways
Shaft gap
Physical space limitations
Application description
Environmental conditions (i.e. extreme temperature, corrosive
conditions, space limitations)
For applications with high peak loads or brake applications use the formulas
given on page GD-4 or consult Application Engineering for assistance. The
following information is required for high peak loads or brake applications:

System peak torque and frequency

Duty cycle
Brake torque rating

List of Charts provided for Selection:

Chart 1 - Service Factors (pgs. GD-5-6)
Chart 2 - General Service Factors (pg. GD-7)
Chart 3 - Coupling Torque and Horsepower Ratings (pg. GD-7)
Formulas:
Nominal Torque =

in-lb =

(HP x 63025)
RPM

Nm =

(KW x 9550)
RPM

Design Torque = Nominal Torque x Service Factor

Step 1: Determine the Nominal Torque of your application by using the

following formula:
Nominal Torque =

in-lb =
Nm =

(HP x 63025)
RPM
(KW x 9550)
RPM

Step 2: Using the Service Factors Chart 1 (pgs. GD-5-6), select the service
factor which best corresponds to your application. If you cannot
locate a service factor for your application, choose an appropriate
value from the General Service Factors Chart 2 (pg. GD-7).
Step 3: Calculate the Design Torque of your application by multiplying the
Nominal Torque calculated in Step 1 by the Service Factor
determined in Step 2.
Design Torque = Nominal Torque x Service Factor
Step 4: Using the Coupling Torque and Horsepower Ratings Chart 3
(pg. GD-7) scan down the torque rating to the first value that is
greater than or equal to the Design Torque calculated in Step 3.

GD

Steps In Selecting A Grid Coupling

Once this value is located, refer to the corresponding coupling size
in the first column of the Coupling Torque and Horsepower Ratings
Chart 3 (pg. GD-7).
Refer to the maximum RPM value (pg. GD-7) for the torque
capability to ensure that the application requirements are met. If
the requirement is not satisfied at this point, a different cover style
or another type of coupling may be required for the application.
Please consult Lovejoy Application Engineering.
Step 5: Compare the application driver/driven shaft sizes to the maximum
bore size available on the coupling selected. If coupling bore size
is not large enough for the shaft diameter, select the next largest
coupling that will accommodate the driver/driven shaft diameters.
Refer to Chart 3 (pg. GD-7).
Step 6: Using the Item (UPC) Number Selection charts (pgs. GD-8-10),
find the appropriate Bore and Keyway sizes required and locate
the Lovejoy Item (UPC) number. Next locate the appropriate
Lovejoy Item (UPC) number for the Cover/Grid Assembly Kit.

Grid Type

Selection Process

Selection Example
A coupling is needed to connect a 50 HP standard electric motor rated at
1800 RPM to a rotary compressor. The shaft size of the electric motor
(driver) is 1.75 inches and the compressor (driven) is 1.5 inches. The shaft
connections are .75 inches long. There are no special environmental
conditions.

GD

Step 1: Determine the Nominal Torque:

Nominal Torque =
in-lb = (HP x 63025)
RPM
in-lb = (50 x 63025)
1800
=
1750.69

Step 5: Compare the application driver/driven shaft sizes to the maximum

bore size available in the coupling selected (pg. GD-7). The
electric motor (driver) of this application has a shaft size of 1.75
inches and the compressor (driven) has a shaft size of 1.5 inches.
The G1050 coupling has a maximum bore of 1.875 inches, so it
can accommodate the driver/driven shaft sizes.
Therefore, the proper coupling size for this application is a 1050
coupling with a horizontal cover.
Step 6: Using the Item (UPC) Number Selection charts (pgs. GD-8-10),
locate the appropriate Lovejoy Item (UPC) numbers.

Step 2: Using the Service Factors Chart 1 (pgs. GD-5-6), select the service
factor which best corresponds to your application. The Service
Factor for an electric motor driving a rotary compressor is 1.25.
The value of 1.25 is found under the application category
Compressor, Rotary, column: Electric Motor in Chart 1.

Locate the Grid Coupling Inch Hubs selection chart (pg. GD-8)
The first bore size to be located is for the 1.75 inch shaft on the
electric motor. Scan down the Bore/Keyway column to the 1.75
inch bore entry. Read across to the 1050 column to locate the
Lovejoy Item (UPC) number of 05483.

Step 3: Calculate the Design Torque of your application :

Design Torque = Nominal Torque x Service Factor
= 1750.69 x 1.25
= 2188.37 in-lb

The second bore size to be located is for the 1.5 inch shaft on the
compressor. Scan down the Bore/Keyway column to the 1.5 inch
bore entry. Read across to the 1050 column to locate the Lovejoy
Item (UPC) number of 05481.

Step 4: Referencing the Coupling Torque and Horsepower Ratings Chart 3

(pg. GD-7), use the Torque Rating column to determine the proper
coupling size. Scanning down the Torque Rating column, the first
entry to accommodate the Design Torque value of 2188.37 in-lb is
size 1050 with a nominal torque rating of 3500 in-lb. The maximum
RPM of 1800 on the electric motor of the application does not
exceed the 4500 RPM maximum allowed for this size with the
horizontal cover.

Locate the Grid Coupling Accessory selection chart (pg. GD-10)

The cover/grid assembly is selected by scanning accross the Grid
Coupling Size row to the 1050 entry. Read down to the Horizontal
Cover/Grid Assembly-Inch row to locate the Lovejoy Item (UPC)
number of 05352.
Each of these item (UPC) numbers should be prefixed with the
Lovejoy Item (UPC) number of 697904.

Selecting A Grid Coupling For High Peak

Loads Or Brake Applications
Use this selection method in the following instances: 1) High Peak Loads
2 ) Brake Applications (A brake is part of the system but it is not part of the
actual coupling.)
Step 1: Calculate the Design Peak Torque using one of the following
equations:
Non-Reversing High Peak Torque =
in-lb =
System Peak Torque
Nm =
System Peak Torque
in-lb = (System Peak HP x 63025)
RPM
Nm = (System Peak KW x 9550)
RPM
Reversing High Peak Torque =
in-lb =
2 x System Peak Torque
Nm =
2 X System Peak Torque
in-lb = (2 x System Peak HP x 63025)
RPM

GD-4

Nm

= (2 x System Peak KW x 9550)

RPM
Occasional Peak Torques (Reversing or Non-Reversing) =
in-lb = 0.5 x System Peak Torque
Nm = 0.5 x System Peak Torque
in-lb = (0.5 x System Peak HP x 63025)
RPM
Nm = (0.5 x System Peak KW x 9550)
RPM
Step 2: If the application is a brake application and the torque rating of the
brake exceeds the motor torque the brake torque needs to used
with the application service factor selected in Chart 1 (pg. GD-6-7).
Design Torque = Brake Torque Rating x Service Factor
Step 3: Once the Design Torque has been determined go through steps 4
through 6 of the selection process on page GD-4 to determine the
proper coupling size.

Misalignment ratings pertain to both standard and spacer grid couplings.

Misalignment Capacity:
Parallel: The movement of the grid in the hub
grooves accommodates parallel misalignment
and still permits full functioning of the gridgroove action in damping out shock and
vibration.
Angular: Under angular misalignment, the
grid-groove design permits a rocking and
sliding action of the grid and hubs without any
loss of power through the resilient grid.
Axial: End float is permitted for both driving
and driven members because the grid slides
freely in the grooves.

Horizontal Style Grid Couplings

Grid couplings with horizontally split covers are ideal for limited space
applications. The cover design allows for easy access to the grid. In
addition, this cover style is well-suited for reversing service applications.

Technical Data

Lovejoy Coupling Grease

Lovejoy Coupling Grease was designed to resist centrifugal
separation, thereby keeping the oil portion of the grease in the
working areas of the coupling. When using the Lovejoy Coupling
Grease, lubrication intervals may be extended. A coupling exposed
to extreme temperatures, excessive moisture, frequent reversals or
grease leakage may require more frequent lubrication.
The benefits of this product include:
Highest pressure and wear protection available.
Built-in rust and corrosion inhibitors.
Increased coupling life.
Reduced maintenance costs.
Reduced downtime.
Superior lubrication.
Lovejoy Coupling Grease has the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Food Safety & Inspection Service approval for use in applications
where there is no possibility of contact with edible products.

Specifications

If an alternative grease is used it should meet the minimum

specifications listed below. Table 4 is a list of grease products that
meet the general specifications but should not be considered
exclusive recommendations.

Lovejoy Coupling Grease Limited 5-year Lubrication Warranty

Since 1927, Lovejoy couplings have saved thousands of companies both
time and money by accommodating shaft misalignment, vibrations and
shock loads, thus protecting connected equipment.
Now Lovejoy Grid Couplings join this long tradition. For this design, we have
identified the best possible lubricants for couplings those with high
viscosity and low bleed rates. Lovejoy Coupling Grease meets these high
expectations and yours.
A Lovejoy Grid coupling initially lubricated with Lovejoy Coupling Grease
will have the grid spring member warranted for 5 years against lubrication
failures and provide rugged, dependable service. It's our guarantee!
Benefits for your application are:
Increased coupling life.
Reduced maintenance cost.
Reduced downtime.
Superior lubrication.
Significantly extended relubrication intervals.

Warranty
Lovejoy, Inc. will replace any grid member which fails during the first
five (5) years of normal use due to inadequate lubrication provided that:

The coupling was initially lubed with the proper amount of Lovejoy
Coupling Grease, as described in the Installation Instructions.

Recommended installation and operational alignment limitations

are observed.

Ambient temperatures are within -20 to +250F (-29 to +121C).

This guarantee of performance does not mean that a grid member will
never need to be replaced. The primary purpose of a coupling is to protect
the connected equipment by accommodating shaft misalignment and shock
loads. In performing this function, some wear and fatiguing of metal may
occur. However, if the grid member fails within the warranty period due to
some failure of the lubricant, Lovejoy will replace the grid member free
of charge.
