Elastomer Types

We present versatile sleeve for S-Flex coupling in three patterns: one-piece reliable, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split layout presents options for applications with distinctive prerequisites wherever modest shaft separations inhibit the set up of a one-piece solid sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of your sleeve engage with teeth on the coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are wanted to connect the flanges together with the versatile sleeve which securely lock collectively below torque for smooth transmission of energy
Torque is transmitted by way of shear loading of the sleeve
All three sleeve components are hugely elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to safeguard linked tools from harmful shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves function a one-piece style and design molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Sorts, the one-piece layout is split to provide for ease of installation and removal.
E, N Sleeve Sorts
These sleeves characteristic a two-piece style and design with retaining ring. The E Type is molded in EPDM rubber and the N Type is molded in Neoprene. The two-piece style and design is ideal for applications in which there is difficulty in separating the shafts with the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Kinds
These sleeves function both a one-piece reliable (H) and two-piece split
(HS) style and design and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit power for high torque applications. Because with the design and the properties with 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 Supplies
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 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.
