About Lovejoy, History & Acquisition by Timken

Since entering the power transmission marketplace in the 1920s, Lovejoy has emerged as an international market leader. Today, the Lovejoy brand is recognized around the world as the premier supplier of flexible shaft couplings and other power transmission components.

During the past century, Lovejoy has been a pioneer in advanced manufacturing technologies. Lovejoy created the industry-standard Jaw-style coupling in 1927 and was the first to incorporate rubber-in-compression as a power transmission concept. On 8 July 2016, The Timken Company, manufacturer of tapered roller bearings, announced its acquisition of Lovejoy, Inc. and its subsidiary, R+L Hydraulics GmbH.

Basic Information

Lovejoy is a global leader in couplings, power transmission, hydraulic components, and tension, and vibration management technology. More than 850000 combinations of bore sizes are available in the coupling.
