We offer flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 models: one-piece strong, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split design offers answers for applications with exclusive requirements where smaller shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece strong sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter from the sleeve engage with teeth of your coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are needed to connect the flanges with the flexible sleeve which securely lock together beneath torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted by shear loading in the sleeve
All 3 sleeve resources are really elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect connected products from dangerous shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Forms
These sleeves characteristic a one-piece style molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Styles, the one-piece style and design is split to provide for ease of installation and removal.
E, N Sleeve Styles
These sleeves attribute a two-piece style 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 of the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves characteristic both a one-piece solid (H) and two-piece split
(HS) style and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit energy for high torque applications. Because of the design and style and the properties of 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 versatile sleeves. EPDM has good resistance to commonly used chemicals and is generally not affected by dirt or moisture. Color is black.
NEOPRENE ?§C Neoprene gives 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.
