Curved Jaw Couplings
The CJ Series Selection Process*
Step 1: Determine the nominal torque of your application: Step 5: Next find the columns listing Tkn and Tkmax values
listed in Nm and compare them against the DTkmax figure
Tkn [Nm] = P[kW] X 9550 for your application. Make sure that the spider/coupling
rpm [1/min] size values are larger than the application values.
Step 2: Calculate your Application Service Factor using the Step 6: Once the size is selected using the torque values,
charts below. The total Service Factor (K) will be: check the table on page 6 to make sure the bore size
needed will fit in the coupling.
K = K1 x K2 x K3
Step 7: Double check the overall dimensions of the coupling to
Step 3: Calculate the design torque (DTkmax) of your ensure that it will fit in the space allowed for the
application.

details.
Step 4: Using the Elastomer performance data charts on
pages 3 & 4 select the urethane shore hardness which
best corresponds to your relative damping needs in

The values regarding displacement are provided assuming normal operating conditions (i.e. temperature, torque with nominal rating of the
coupling, speed/RPM rating of the coupling, and misalignment). Careful installation (i.e. alignment) and periodic inspection should be provided
to provide the optimum life of the coupling. Special consideration should be given as to the position of the shafts and the amount of axial
movement the coupling will be exposed to. The more accurate the alignment of the coupling, will result in greater life of the elastomer. A cou-
pling guard and rotating equipment safety procedures should always be followed. Please consult the Lovejoy web site at www.lovejoy-inc.com
for assembly instructions of the curved jaw coupling.

Curved Jaw Couplings
Technical Description For The GS Series
The GS Series curved jaw coupling offers zero backlash capability in a 3-piece design. The coupling is provided assembled under prestress.
The GS Series can be used in a variety of different applications requiring precision and accuracy.
The GS Series spider features a straight center of the spider tooth, providing higher stiffness due to coupling prestress. The crowning of the
ends of the spider legs allows for misalignment, while the curved jaws and solid spider center provide high-speed capability.
The jaws of the hubs and the spider legs are chamfered to provide easy assembly. The GS Series coupling design also allows the blind
assembly in tight spaces. Raised spider dots on the legs of the spider ensure proper spacing of hubs and spider.
Proper installation of the coupling can provide isolation of electrical currents. Check the CL dimension listed on page 19 to ensure the proper
spacing between spiders and hubs.
The GS Series coupling has spiders available in four different shore hardnesses. Each spider offers benefits for different vibratory, environ-
mental, and torque transmission requirements.

Curved Jaw Couplings
Coupling Selection For The GS Series
Typical Applications
Calculation Formula
Check the nominal torque for the application against the rating for the coupling:
Peak Torque
Shock load (driver side) = Peak torque (driver) x rotational inertia coefficient (driver) x K5
Shock load (driven side) = Peak torque (driven) x rotational inertia coefficient (driven) x K5
Check the peak torque for the application against the rating for the coupling (see page 17), checking both driver and driven sides:
