We present versatile sleeve for S-Flex coupling in three models: one-piece reliable, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split style and design offers remedies for applications with special needs where compact shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece reliable sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of the sleeve engage with teeth in the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are needed to connect the flanges together with the versatile sleeve which securely lock collectively below torque for smooth transmission of energy
Torque is transmitted by shear loading from the sleeve
All 3 sleeve supplies are remarkably elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect connected equipment from unsafe shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Styles
These sleeves feature a one-piece design molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Sorts, the one-piece style is split to provide for ease of installation and removal.
E, N Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves characteristic a two-piece layout 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 where there is difficulty in separating the shafts in the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves characteristic both a one-piece solid (H) and two-piece split
(HS) layout and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit energy for high torque applications. Because on the 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 Elements
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.
