We give 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 style presents options for applications with special requirements wherever little shaft separations inhibit the installation of the one-piece solid sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter in the sleeve engage with teeth of the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are needed to connect the flanges together with the versatile sleeve which securely lock together below torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted via shear loading on the sleeve
All three sleeve elements are highly elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect connected equipment from unsafe 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 design and style is split to provide for ease of set up and removal.
E, N Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves attribute a two-piece design with retaining ring. The E Type is molded in EPDM rubber and the N Type is molded in Neoprene. The two-piece design is ideal for applications in which there is difficulty in separating the shafts on the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Forms
These sleeves feature both a one-piece reliable (H) and two-piece split
(HS) style and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit electrical power for high torque applications. Because from the design and style and the properties with 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 Products
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.
