We supply flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in three patterns: one-piece sound, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split design and style provides solutions for applications with unique requirements where smaller shaft separations inhibit the set up of a one-piece strong sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of your sleeve engage with teeth of your coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are required to connect the flanges with the flexible sleeve which securely lock collectively below torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted by way of shear loading on the sleeve
All three sleeve products are extremely elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect linked equipment from damaging shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Types
These sleeves feature a one-piece style and design molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Styles, the one-piece style is split to provide for ease of set up and removal.
E, N Sleeve Forms
These sleeves function 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 is ideal for applications the place there is difficulty in separating the shafts of the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves feature both a one-piece solid (H) and two-piece split
(HS) style and design and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit power for high torque applications. Because from the layout and the properties in 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 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.
