Cast Iron Hub for L190 Couplings
This Lovejoy L1901 jaw coupling hub is machined from cast iron for use in power-transmission assemblies. It accepts a 1 inch round bore with a standard keyway and secures to the shaft with a set-screw locking method. The hub is designed to pair with L190-series centre elements in inch-dimensioned machinery.
Suited for Inch-Series Shaft Connections
The hub fits builders working with 1 inch shafts who need a straight-jaw profile and set-screw retention. It is not intended for metric bores, clamp-style or keyless locking methods, or for coupling sizes other than L190. Applications requiring a different bore diameter or a split-hub design will need an alternative component.
Direct Set-Screw Installation
Installation consists of sliding the hub onto the keyed shaft, aligning the keyway, and tightening the set screw against the key. The straight jaw profile simplifies spider insertion during assembly. The most common issue is insufficient set-screw torque, which can allow the hub to rotate on the shaft under load.

Questions about this item
Do I need to buy the L190 spider separately to complete the coupling?
Yes, the hub requires a compatible L190H, L190N or L190U center element which is sold separately.
Will this hub fit on a motor shaft that already has a 1/4 inch keyway?
The hub has a 1 inch bore with a 1/4 inch wide by 1/8 inch deep keyway that matches that shaft.
How can I confirm the hub is running within its rated limits after installation?
Verify the shaft speed does not exceed 5,000 RPM and that the transmitted load stays below the spider's horsepower rating at 100 RPM.
