Not worth the price tag

According to my experience, this coupling was a complete waste of money. The only positive aspect was the material quality, but it didn't justify the steep price. The biggest downside was the lack of flexibility and maneuverability, which made it difficult to install and operate. Overall, I would not recommend this product for anyone in the Industrial and Scientific category.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting, able to handle high torque and misalignment
Cons
  • May wear down faster than other types of coupling elastomers with excessive use

Exactly what I needed

I had to connect the motor to the flour mill via a Lovejoy coupling. I put it between two hubs (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HIWO0G/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1). I'm glad I went with the more flexible urethane spider as I had a slight misalignment.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

It fits Mighty Mule Gate/Linear Opener

Especially for 3000XLS and 4000XLS Mighty Mule and Linear models. Measure the diameter of the aluminum couplers and the distance between the two couplers. Spider thickness in inches between two sleeves. Compare with the dimensions of this spider. The fit is snug and correct, Mighty Mule says they don't have this part available.

Pros
  • Power Transmission Products
Cons
  • Some small things
