We present 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 design offers options for applications with special demands wherever compact shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece sound sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of your sleeve engage with teeth on the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are required to connect the flanges using the flexible sleeve which securely lock together beneath torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted by way of shear loading from the sleeve
All three sleeve materials are highly elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect linked tools from unsafe shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves attribute a one-piece layout molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Types, the one-piece design is split to provide for ease of installation 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 design and style is ideal for applications exactly where there is difficulty in separating the shafts from the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Styles
These sleeves function both a one-piece solid (H) and two-piece split
(HS) design and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit power for high torque applications. Because in the 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 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 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.
