We supply flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 models: one-piece solid, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split layout presents solutions for applications with unique necessities wherever tiny shaft separations inhibit the installation of the one-piece solid sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter in the sleeve engage with teeth of your coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are required to connect the flanges together with the flexible sleeve which securely lock collectively under torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted as a result of shear loading with the sleeve
All three sleeve products are extremely elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to safeguard connected gear from dangerous shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves attribute a one-piece design molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Kinds, the one-piece style is split to provide for ease of installation and removal.
E, N Sleeve Styles
These sleeves attribute a two-piece 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 wherever there is difficulty in separating the shafts of the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves characteristic 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 electrical power for high torque applications. Because of your style and design and the properties of 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 Elements
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 provides 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.
