The LCD-0150-57-C LORD OEM Drive Coupler is an original equipment flexible coupling designed for demanding industrial power-transmission applications. This coupler connects a prime mover—such as an electric motor or engine—to a driven component, allowing torque to be transferred smoothly while absorbing torsional vibration and accommodating minor shaft misalignment.
LORD couplers are widely specified by equipment manufacturers because of their proven elastomer technology and predictable damping characteristics. In compressor and industrial machinery applications, drivetrain vibration and shock loads are a primary cause of premature bearing wear, shaft fatigue, and seal failure. The LCD-0150-57-C coupler is engineered to mitigate these forces, helping maintain alignment and protect high-value rotating components.
This coupler is designed for continuous-duty service in industrial environments where load variation, startup shock, and thermal expansion are common.

Functional Design and Performance
The LCD-0150-57-C drive coupler utilizes a resilient elastomer element bonded to precision-machined metal components. This construction allows the coupler to function as a torsional buffer, isolating vibration and transient torque spikes before they are transmitted into the drivetrain.
During equipment startup, shutdown, and load changes, torsional forces can place significant stress on rotating assemblies. The elastomer element within the LCD-0150-57-C flexes slightly under load, absorbing these forces and reducing mechanical noise while maintaining consistent torque delivery.
Because this is a genuine LORD OEM component, the elastomer compound, bonding process, and geometry are matched precisely to intended operating characteristics. This ensures predictable damping behavior, stable torque transmission, and long service life under industrial conditions.

Advantages of Using a Genuine LORD OEM Coupler
Using the LCD-0150-57-C genuine LORD OEM drive coupler ensures your equipment drivetrain operates exactly as designed. Non-OEM or incorrect couplers may differ in elastomer stiffness, balance, or dimensional tolerances, which can introduce excessive vibration, reduce efficiency, and shorten component life.
This OEM coupler delivers consistent torque transmission, minimizes mechanical stress on connected components, and helps extend the service life of bearings, shafts, and driven equipment. For mission-critical industrial systems, genuine OEM components are essential for maintaining uptime and reliability.
