We offer versatile sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 styles: one-piece solid, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split design and style offers solutions for applications with special demands exactly where little shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece sound sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter with the sleeve engage with teeth of your coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are necessary to connect the flanges together with the flexible sleeve which securely lock collectively below torque for smooth transmission of energy
Torque is transmitted via shear loading from the sleeve
All three sleeve components are very elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to safeguard linked tools from unsafe shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Forms
These sleeves feature a one-piece style molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Varieties, the one-piece layout is split to provide for ease of set up and removal.
E, N Sleeve Styles
These sleeves function 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 layout is ideal for applications wherever there is difficulty in separating the shafts on the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Forms
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 energy for high torque applications. Because on the design and style 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 flexible 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.
