But what about the Lovejoy jaw coupling? What exactly does the
"35" mean in an L035, and how is that relative to the "150" in an
L150 jaw coupling? Looking through a catalog, the answer is far
from obvious. No single feature of the coupling matches these
numbers.
Given the product dimensions remained the same (other than they
could now be bored out larger), Lovejoy opted to maintain the legacy naming structure... and not
rename it every time technology allowed the performance specs of the product to be increased.
Today a L035 has a max bore of 0.375 inches and the L150 has a max bore of 1.875 inches.
Bonus Fun Fact: Lovejoy's proprietary standard NBR rubber spiders have and continue to
include SOX in the product description. While many (internally and externally) assume that SOX is
an acronym or reference to a feature of the product, the reality is much more lighthearted. Around
the time of the spider's development, the owners of Lovejoy (located in Chicago) were close to
members of the Chicago White Sox (and also avid fans). As such, "SOX" was embedded into the
product description as a hidden shout out to Lovejoy's favorite baseball team. Today's Lovejoy is
heavily splintered, both in regards to favorite baseball teams as well just about every other
professional sport, so perhaps this information should be suppressed? Nahhhh.... this blog is like
TMZ. The cat is out of the bag!
