Characteristics and Effectiveness Facts
The S-Flex coupling design is comprised of three parts: two flanges with inner teeth engage an elastomeric versatile sleeve with external teeth
Torque is transmited by the flanges mounted on each the driver and driven shafts through the sleeve
Misalignment and torsional shock loads are absorbed by shear deflection while in the sleeve
The shear characteristic of your S-Flex coupling is very well suited to soak up influence loads
The S-Flex coupling presents combinations of flanges and sleeves which might be assembled to suit your unique application
Thirteen sizes can be found with torque capabilities that vary from 60 in-lbs to 72,480 in-lbs
The S-Flex flanges are made available in five models that are made from zinc or cast iron
Sleeves can be found in EPDM rubber, Neoprene to tackle a wide variety of application specifications
Safety from misalignment, shock, and vibration:
PARALLEL:
The S-Flex coupling accepts up to .062 in of parallel misalignment without having wear. The flexible coupling sleeve minimizes the radial loads imposed on products bearings, a problem usually associated with parallel misalignment.
AXIAL:
The S-Flex couplings is usually used in applications which call for a restricted amount of shaft end-float with out transferring thrust loads to gear bearings. Axial movement of around 1/8 inch accepted.
ANGULAR:
The flexing action of your elastomeric sleeve and also the locking function in the mating teeth makes it possible for the S-Flex coupling to correctly take care of angular misalignment up to 1??.
TORSIONAL:
S-Flex couplings efficiently dampen torsional shock and vibration to protect connected tools. The EPDM and Neoprene sleeves have torsional wind-up versatility of 15?? at their rated torque. Hytrel supplies 7??wind-up.
