We give versatile sleeve for S-Flex coupling in three styles: one-piece reliable, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split style gives answers for applications with one of a kind specifications in which little shaft separations inhibit the installation of the one-piece reliable sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of your sleeve engage with teeth on the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are needed to connect the flanges using the flexible sleeve which securely lock together underneath torque for smooth transmission of power
Torque is transmitted by way of shear loading in the sleeve
All 3 sleeve elements are highly elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to guard connected products from hazardous shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Types
These sleeves function a one-piece layout molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Types, the one-piece style and design is split to provide for ease of set up and removal.
E, N Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves function a two-piece style and design with retaining ring. The E Type is molded in EPDM rubber and the N Type is molded in Neoprene. The two-piece style and design is ideal for applications in which there is difficulty in separating the shafts of your driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Types
These sleeves feature both a one-piece solid (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 with the layout and the properties of your 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 Supplies
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.
