Lovejoy is the legacy company/brand behind the original straight jaw flexible coupling. A Lovejoy flexible jaw coupling is comprised of two hubs and an elastomeric spider that accommodates minor misalignment and avoid metal to metal torque transmission between the hubs. One main advantage is that it can still work during slightly failed condition. If the spider fails or wears away, the jaws of the two hubs will generally engage with each other and continue carrying torque for some period of time. This type of coupling is generally resistant to dirt, moisture, sand and grease. These couplings come with a wide selection of hub and spider materials to handle a wide array of operating temperatures and torque transmission requirements.
mechanical coupling can be called as a mechanical device which is used to connect two mechanical links as well as transmit power between them. mechanical joint is just used to joint two linkages . there is no power or torque transmission between them .
Scoop coupling is nothing but a fluid coupling works based on the hydro dynamic principle. Scooping is the collecting the oil from the working chamber(space between pump wheel and turbine wheel) which will effects the transmission.
In an ID (Induced Draft) fan application, a variable speed coupling allows for the adjustment of the fan's rotational speed to optimize airflow and efficiency based on system demands. This is typically achieved using a mechanical or electronic coupling that can alter the input power or torque transmitted to the fan. By varying the speed, the system can respond to changes in pressure or flow requirements, reducing energy consumption and improving performance. Additionally, it helps to minimize wear and tear on components by allowing smoother transitions and reducing stress during operation.
Ventilation perfusion coupling is the amount of gas reaching alveoli & blood flow in pulmonary capillaries; local autoregulation.

Victaulic products have a long history of being used on underground piping systems.
The torque value for Victaulic couplings typically ranges from 30 to 90 ft-lbs, depending on the size and type of the coupling being used. It's important to consult the specific manufacturer's installation instructions for precise torque specifications, as they can vary based on the material and application. Proper torque ensures a secure connection and prevents leaks. Always use a calibrated torque wrench for accurate measurements.
No, many fluids and air. No approval for natural gas.
Yes, a Victaulic coupling can be used on a relief vent from a chiller using R-134A refrigerant, provided that the materials of the coupling are compatible with the refrigerant and the operating conditions. It's important to ensure that the coupling can handle the temperature and pressure requirements of the system. Additionally, always consult relevant codes and manufacturer recommendations to ensure compliance and safety.
A Victaulic fitting is really a grooved end fitting that is used with grooved end pipe, joined with a coupling. These are found on a variety of commercial and industrial piping systems. Victaulic is the company that originated the grooved piping method so the name "Victaulic" is their registered trade name. The correct generic terminology for these fittings is simply grooved end fittings.
They are of similar design, but a fluid coupling simply transmits torque (with some frictional loss), while a torque converter amplifies torque, similar to a reduction gear.
The Victaulic plainlock style 90 coupling was discontinued primarily due to advancements in technology and materials that led to the development of more efficient and higher-performing coupling designs. Additionally, changes in industry standards and customer preferences for improved features, such as enhanced sealing capabilities and easier installation, contributed to its phase-out. The company likely focused on streamlining its product offerings to prioritize more innovative solutions that better meet modern piping system needs.
Victaulic was created in 1925.
The Victaulic system will dampen a small amount of the vibration from the source equipment due to the type of connection it is, pulse and axial forces due to the displacment of the product or the action of the delivery equipment or just the expansion of the piping will not be dampened. I believe there are fittings available to address the problem of vibration transfer. cheers
A fluid coupling does not multiply torque in the same way a mechanical gear does. Instead, it transmits power through fluid dynamics, allowing for a smooth transfer of torque between the input and output shafts. The torque output will generally be lower than the input torque, but it can allow for increased torque delivery under certain conditions, such as during acceleration. Thus, while it facilitates torque transfer, it does not inherently multiply it.
Victaulic makes a dielectric fitting that could solve your issue.
