We give flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 designs: one-piece sound, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split design supplies remedies for applications with unique specifications where smaller shaft separations inhibit the set up of the one-piece sound sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter on the sleeve engage with teeth in the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are required to connect the flanges using the versatile sleeve which securely lock with each other under torque for smooth transmission of energy
Torque is transmitted by way of shear loading on the sleeve
All three sleeve products are hugely elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect linked tools from damaging shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Styles
These sleeves characteristic a one-piece design and style 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 set up and removal.
E, N Sleeve Sorts
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 where there is difficulty in separating the shafts in the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves function both a one-piece sound (H) and two-piece split
(HS) style and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit energy for high torque applications. Because of your layout and the properties on 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 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 delivers 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.
