We provide flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in three designs: one-piece reliable, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split design supplies remedies for applications with one of a kind requirements exactly where little shaft separations inhibit the installation of the one-piece reliable sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter with the sleeve engage with teeth in the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are needed to connect the flanges with the versatile sleeve which securely lock together under torque for smooth transmission of energy
Torque is transmitted by way of shear loading of the sleeve
All three sleeve materials are remarkably elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect linked tools from dangerous shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Styles
These sleeves feature a one-piece style and design molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Types, the one-piece design and style is split to provide for ease of installation and removal.
E, N Sleeve Kinds
These sleeves feature a two-piece design and style with retaining ring. The E Type is molded in EPDM rubber and the N Type is molded in Neoprene. The two-piece design and style is ideal for applications wherever there is difficulty in separating the shafts from the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Forms
These sleeves characteristic both a one-piece sound (H) and two-piece split
(HS) layout and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit power for high torque applications. Because in the style and design and the properties on 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 provides 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.
