We provide flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 styles: one-piece solid, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split style and design offers options for applications with unique requirements wherever modest shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece sound sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of the sleeve engage with teeth on the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are desired to connect the flanges with all the versatile sleeve which securely lock together under torque for smooth transmission of power
Torque is transmitted as a result of shear loading from the sleeve
All three sleeve resources are highly elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to guard linked tools from hazardous shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Styles
These sleeves feature a one-piece design and style molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Sorts, 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 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 in which there is difficulty in separating the shafts with the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Forms
These sleeves characteristic both a one-piece solid (H) and two-piece split
(HS) style and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit power for high torque applications. Because from the style 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 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 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.
