We present versatile sleeve for S-Flex coupling in three models: one-piece sound, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split style and design provides solutions for applications with one of a kind needs where modest shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece reliable sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter in the sleeve engage with teeth from the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are needed to connect the flanges using the flexible sleeve which securely lock together under torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted by way of shear loading of the sleeve
All 3 sleeve elements are highly elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to safeguard connected products from unsafe shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves feature a one-piece design molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Styles, the one-piece style is split to provide for ease of installation and removal.
E, N Sleeve Forms
These sleeves feature 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 layout is ideal for applications the place there is difficulty in separating the shafts of your driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Styles
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 of 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 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.
