We supply versatile sleeve for S-Flex coupling in three models: one-piece strong, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split style and design provides remedies for applications with distinctive prerequisites exactly where small shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece strong sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter on the sleeve engage with teeth of your coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are needed to connect the flanges using the flexible sleeve which securely lock with each other underneath torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted by means of shear loading in the sleeve
All three sleeve supplies are hugely elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to safeguard linked equipment from harmful shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Types
These sleeves feature a one-piece 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 Varieties
These sleeves attribute a two-piece style and design 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 of the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Styles
These sleeves function both a one-piece reliable (H) and two-piece split
(HS) design and style and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit energy for high torque applications. Because from the style and design 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 Materials
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.
