Qualities and Effectiveness Facts
The S-Flex coupling layout is comprised of three parts: two flanges with inner teeth engage an elastomeric versatile sleeve with external teeth
Torque is transmited via the flanges mounted on the two the driver and driven shafts by means of the sleeve
Misalignment and torsional shock loads are absorbed by shear deflection in the sleeve
The shear characteristic 
of the S-Flex coupling is incredibly well suited to soak up effect loads
The S-Flex coupling offers combinations of flanges and sleeves which can be assembled to suit your unique application
Thirteen sizes are available with torque abilities that range from 60 in-lbs to 72,480 in-lbs
The S-Flex flanges are presented in five versions that are created from zinc or cast iron
Sleeves are available in EPDM rubber, Neoprene to handle a wide range of application requirements
Protection from misalignment, shock, and vibration:
PARALLEL:
The S-Flex coupling accepts up to .062 in of parallel misalignment with out put on. The versatile coupling sleeve minimizes the radial loads imposed on equipment bearings, a problem generally related with parallel misalignment.
AXIAL:
The S-Flex couplings is usually utilized in applications which need a restricted amount of shaft end-float without transferring thrust loads to tools bearings. Axial motion of around 1/8 inch accepted.
ANGULAR:
The flexing action of the elastomeric sleeve and the locking feature of your mating teeth allows the S-Flex coupling to proficiently take care of angular misalignment up to 1??.
TORSIONAL:
S-Flex couplings efficiently dampen torsional shock and vibration to safeguard linked equipment. The EPDM and Neoprene sleeves have torsional wind-up versatility of 15?? at their rated torque. Hytrel provides 7??wind-up.
