Jaw Coupling Hub for L070 Systems
The Lovejoy L07058 L-Jaw coupling hub connects rotating shafts in power-transmission assemblies. It accepts a 5/8 in round bore with a 3/16 in keyway and uses a set-screw locking method. The carbon-steel hub matches L070 Buna-N, Urethane or Hytrel centre elements for light industrial drives.
Thermal and Power Behaviour
At 100 RPM the hub transmits 0.069 hp with a Buna-N spider, 0.1 hp with Urethane and 0.18 hp with Hytrel. Maximum rated speed is 14,000 RPM. The straight-jaw profile and carbon-steel construction dissipate heat through the metal body without forced cooling, so audible noise stays low in normal operation.
Build Integration
The hub measures 1 23/64 in outside diameter and 2 in overall length, fitting inside standard L070 coupling envelopes. A 3/32 in keyway depth secures the key without additional machining. Set-screw locking eliminates the need for clamp collars or shrink-fit tooling, freeing axial space on the shaft for adjacent components.

Questions about this item
How do I install the L07058 hub on a 5/8 in shaft, and what step is often missed?
Slide the hub onto the shaft, align the 3/16 in keyway with the shaft key, then tighten the set screw onto the key — not the shaft flat — to prevent slippage at 14,000 RPM.
Which wearable part will need replacement and how do I identify the correct one?
The centre spider wears first; order Lovejoy part L070H for Buna-N, L070N for Urethane or L070U for Hytrel to match the original torque rating.
At what power level does the hub hit its thermal limit during continuous running at 100 RPM?
With a Buna-N spider the limit is 0.069 hp, with Urethane 0.1 hp and with Hytrel 0.18 hp — exceeding these ratings causes overheating.
