We supply flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 designs: one-piece strong, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split style and design offers remedies for applications with special necessities wherever smaller shaft separations inhibit the set up of the one-piece reliable sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter with the sleeve engage with teeth from the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are desired to connect the flanges with the flexible sleeve which securely lock together below torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted by shear loading from the sleeve
All three sleeve components are really elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to guard connected gear from unsafe shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Types
These sleeves function a one-piece layout molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Varieties, the one-piece design is split to provide for ease of set up and removal.
E, N Sleeve Styles
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 layout is ideal for applications in which there is difficulty in separating the shafts with the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Kinds
These sleeves attribute both a one-piece sound (H) and two-piece split
(HS) style and 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 from 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 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.
