Elastomer Designs

We present versatile sleeve for S-Flex coupling in 3 types: one-piece solid, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
The one-piece split design and style gives solutions for applications with exceptional necessities where smaller shaft separations inhibit the set up of a one-piece solid sleeve
Pre-molded teeth along the diameter with the sleeve engage with teeth of your coupling flanges
No clamps or screws are necessary to connect the flanges using the versatile sleeve which securely lock together below torque for smooth transmission of electrical power
Torque is transmitted via shear loading of your sleeve
All three sleeve elements are extremely elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to safeguard linked products from harmful shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
JE, JN, JES, JNS Sleeve Forms
These sleeves function a one-piece style and design molded in EPDM & Neoprene rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Types, the one-piece style is split to provide for ease of installation and removal.
E, N Sleeve Varieties
These sleeves characteristic 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 design is ideal for applications exactly where there is difficulty in separating the shafts in the driver and driven.
H, HS Sleeve Styles
These sleeves characteristic both a one-piece strong (H) and two-piece split
(HS) style and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are designed to transmit electrical power for high torque applications. Because of the design and style and the properties on 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 presents 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.
