We supply flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in three patterns: one-piece solid, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split design provides answers for applications with one of a kind prerequisites exactly where tiny shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece sound sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of the sleeve engage with teeth of your coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are essential to connect the flanges with the flexible sleeve which securely lock collectively under torque for smooth transmission of power
Torque is transmitted by way of shear loading with the sleeve
All three sleeve components are extremely 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 style molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Types, the one-piece design is split to provide for ease of set up and removal.
E, N Sleeve Kinds
These sleeves function 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 layout is ideal for applications in which there is difficulty in separating the shafts of the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves attribute both a one-piece reliable (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 from the design and style 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 Elements
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 offers 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.
