Oh yeah, I would never say monster is the best, or even very good, but its one of many things you should be doing... While I was looking for a job I tried to put in about 3 hours a day looking and applying for new jobs, and had a huge list of companies I applied at. From what I have experienced...
Don't get discouraged!
I started looking for a job last year in November (graduated in may), and had 4 terms of CO-OP at a Refinery, I didn't even get an interview until September of this year. I did finally land a job, pay is below average, but there is a lot of room for growth and I am...
We are currently using the curve jaw coupling with the yellow spider (92 shore I think). So far we have only been running the compressor at 1000psi, trying to get a baseline temperature on the coupling, but the temperature just keeps climbing. On a good note, we haven't noticed any shavings from...
Elliot,
I will be sure to let you guys know how things turn out! We are excited as well! Hopefully we can figure out this coupling deal soon, so we can move on to the fun stuff.
Thanks,
Dave
btrueblood,
We actually did check that yesterday, We drilled a very small hole and slipped a thermocouple inside the housing, we found out that the temperature difference from the outside of the housing to the motor coupling was about 20 degrees F. Our coupling temp was close to 170F which is...
Elliot,
I will be sure to give him a call, and I think the fact that you are on here, and actively helping your company out says a lot.
I hope I don't seem like a "Lovejoy Hater", I am not,your company has a great number of products and would be so big if the products were garbage. I am really...
TenPenny,
Yeah, That is what they say, and all three times I have called I have gotten a different opinion on what we "need" and we have broken all of them... with the exception of one engineer there I have been disappointed.
JJPellin,
I will make sure that the next time we have this comp...
Mike,
Thanks for the advice, I will try to use my "New Guy Mojo" to get my hands on a LoveJoy sampler pack. I think I can get our machinist on my side, and I will start with a large curve jaw and work my way down until I find our proper coupling.
My only complaint is that you made me laugh when...
Mike,
We had our force analysis outsourced, so everything that is done already is simply a trust of their judgement. I wish I could just go ask whoever came up with this design, but they are unavailable.
And it's not the cost of the Lovejoy, but rather the cost of our assembly time. Also I...
It does seem like it should have no real issues... I used to work at a refinery and we had much more demanding pumps with less issues than this little compressor.
The issue is the spider (cushion) is getting completely chewed up by the constant loading and unloading, and ends up as dust in the...
Motor is 2hp and runs at 1740rpm.
Length available is about 7 inches, Diameter is about 6 inches, if I had to guess.
The most recent coupling we used was a L100 and although that was somewhat large, we could possibly install a L110.
One thing that is really frustrating is every time I talk...
Those are really cool couplings, sadly they do not make a coupling small enough for my application. I wish they did though.
My motor drive shaft is only 7/8" on this pump. I guess I can just keep on going to larger and larger lovejoys until I fill the inside of the housing...
Mike,
What we have is a three stage Methane compressor, each throw is oriented 90degrees from the other, so it looks like a "T".
At first we used a lovejoy that was far too small, and was a straight jaw. Then we upgraded the spider to a urethane, that ended up failing as well. Next we upgraded...
Hello everyone,
I am looking for some input on a problem I am having with one of our pumps.
Every Lovejoy we have installed ends up being destroyed.
I think our issue is that fact that someone designed the counterbalance for the pump to be bolted to our lovejoy coupling. I think this is...
