L Type – Standard Jaw Coupling
- Industry’s standard shaft coupling
- Accommodates for angular and parallel shaft misalignment
- Fail-safe (will still perform if elastomeric “spider” fails)
- No metal to metal contact
- Resistant to oil, dirt, sand, moisture, and grease
- Industry’s largest available selection from stock

Description
Dimensional Data:
A full L line coupling is comprised of 3 parts:
- 2 hubs (sintered iron for L035-L150 & cast iron for L190-276)
- 1 elastomeric spider (SOX/NBR, Urethane, Hytrel®, or Bronze)
Spider Perfromance Data:
SOX (NBR) Rubber (Standard Insert)
- Nitrile Butadiene (Buna N) Rubber is a flexible elastomer material that is oil resistant, resembles natural rubber in resilience and elasticity.
Urethane:
- Greater torque capability than NBR (1.5 times), provides less dampening effect, and operates in a smaller temperature range. Good resistance to oil and chemicals. Not recommended for cyclic or start/stop applications.
Hytrel®:
- Flexible elastomer designed for high torque and high temperature operations. Excellent resistance to oil and chemicals. Not recommended for cyclic or start/stop applications.
Bronze:
- Rigid, porous oil-impregnated metal insert exclusively for low speed (max 250 RPM) applications requiring high torque capabilities. Not affected by extreme temperatures, water, oil, or dirt.
