We supply flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 designs: one-piece reliable, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split layout offers options for applications with exceptional specifications exactly where modest shaft separations inhibit the set up of a one-piece sound sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of your sleeve engage with teeth of your coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are essential to connect the flanges with all the versatile sleeve which securely lock with each other underneath torque for smooth transmission of energy
Torque is transmitted as a result of shear loading from the sleeve
All 3 sleeve supplies are very elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to guard linked gear from unsafe shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves characteristic a one-piece style and design molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Forms, the one-piece style and design is split to provide for ease of installation and removal.
E, N Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves characteristic 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 style and design is ideal for applications in which there is difficulty in separating the shafts from the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Styles
These sleeves attribute 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 power for high torque applications. Because from 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 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.
