We offer flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 designs: one-piece reliable, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split design supplies options for applications with one of a kind requirements the place small shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece solid sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter with the sleeve engage with teeth of your coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are desired to connect the flanges together with the versatile sleeve which securely lock with each other beneath torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted via shear loading on the sleeve
All three sleeve elements are really elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to safeguard linked equipment from damaging shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves feature a one-piece layout molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Forms, the one-piece design is split to provide for ease of set up and removal.
E, N Sleeve Forms
These sleeves feature a two-piece design with retaining ring. The E Type is molded in EPDM rubber and the N Type is molded in Neoprene. The two-piece layout is ideal for applications wherever there is difficulty in separating the shafts in the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves attribute both a one-piece solid (H) and two-piece split
(HS) style and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit electrical power for high torque applications. Because from the style and design and the properties in the Hytrel molded sleeve, the H and HS sleeves should not be used as direct replacements for EPDM or Neoprene sleeves, and can only be used with S, TF, or SC flanges.
Sleeve Elements
EPDM ?§C Unless otherwise specified, S-Flex couplings are supplied with EPDM flexible sleeves. EPDM has good resistance to commonly used chemicals and is generally not affected by dirt or moisture. Color is black.
NEOPRENE ?§C Neoprene delivers very good performance characteristics for most applications and offers a very good resistance to chemical and oil conditions. Color is black with a green dot.
HYTREL ?§C Hytrel is a polyester elastomer designed for high torque and high temperature applications and offers excellent resistance to chemical and oil conditions. Color is orange.
