We provide flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 patterns: one-piece sound, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split design gives options for applications with exclusive necessities where small shaft separations inhibit the set up of the one-piece strong sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter in the sleeve engage with teeth with the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are desired to connect the flanges with all the flexible sleeve which securely lock together below torque for smooth transmission of power
Torque is transmitted via shear loading of the sleeve
All three sleeve supplies are hugely elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect connected gear from dangerous shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Kinds
These sleeves feature a one-piece layout molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Kinds, the one-piece layout is split to provide for ease of set up and removal.
E, N Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves feature a two-piece design and style with retaining ring. The E Type is molded in EPDM rubber and the N Type is molded in Neoprene. The two-piece style is ideal for applications where there is difficulty in separating the shafts in the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves function both a one-piece strong (H) and two-piece split
(HS) design and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit power for high torque applications. Because on the layout 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 Resources
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 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.
