We offer flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 types: one-piece strong, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split style and design provides options for applications with one of a kind requirements exactly where modest shaft separations inhibit the set up of a one-piece reliable sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter with the sleeve engage with teeth from the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are essential to connect the flanges with all the flexible sleeve which securely lock collectively under torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted as a result of shear loading in the sleeve
All 3 sleeve materials are highly elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to guard connected products from harmful shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves characteristic a one-piece design and style molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Sorts, the one-piece style and design is split to provide for ease of installation and removal.
E, N Sleeve Forms
These sleeves function a two-piece layout with retaining ring. The E Type is molded in EPDM rubber and the N Type is molded in Neoprene. The two-piece design is ideal for applications wherever there is difficulty in separating the shafts on the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves feature 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 electrical power for high torque applications. Because on the style 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 Components
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 supplies 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.
