We offer flexible sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 styles: one-piece strong, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split design delivers options for applications with exceptional prerequisites exactly where compact shaft separations inhibit the installation of the one-piece solid sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter in the sleeve engage with teeth from the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are required to connect the flanges with the flexible sleeve which securely lock with each other underneath torque for smooth transmission of power
Torque is transmitted by shear loading of your sleeve
All 3 sleeve products are highly elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to guard linked products from unsafe shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Types
These sleeves feature a one-piece layout molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Styles, the one-piece style is split to provide for ease of set up and removal.
E, N Sleeve Types
These sleeves attribute 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 style is ideal for applications in which there is difficulty in separating the shafts on the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves characteristic both a one-piece strong (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 of your 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 Components
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 supplies 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.
