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.
