L050 Jaw Coupling Hub 5/8 in Bore
This carbon steel hub connects rotating shafts in power transmission systems using a straight jaw profile and set screw locking. It fits a 5/8 inch round bore and operates at speeds up to 18,000 RPM. The component is designed for general industrial machinery applications requiring reliable torque transfer.
Upgrades from worn or undersized hubs
Replacing a damaged hub restores alignment and prevents vibration in existing L050 coupling assemblies. The jump is worth it when the current hub shows bore wear, keyway damage, or when switching to a 5/8 inch shaft diameter. Compatible center elements include L050H, L050N, and L050U part numbers.
Straightforward set screw installation
The hub secures to the shaft with a 1/4-20 UNC set screw, requiring only basic hand tools. Common issues include over tightening the screw which can distort the bore, or misaligning the hub during assembly which leads to premature spider wear. Ensure the shaft is clean and dimensionally accurate before mounting.
