Qualities and Effectiveness Information
The S-Flex coupling layout is comprised of three components: two flanges with internal teeth engage an elastomeric flexible sleeve with external teeth
Torque is transmited by the flanges mounted on the two the driver and driven shafts via the sleeve
Misalignment and torsional shock loads are absorbed by shear deflection from the sleeve
The shear characteristic with the S-Flex coupling is very nicely suited to soak up affect loads
The S-Flex coupling presents combinations of flanges and sleeves which may be assembled to fit your certain application
Thirteen sizes are available with torque abilities that vary from 60 in-lbs to 72,480 in-lbs
The S-Flex flanges are made available in 5 versions which are created from zinc or cast iron
Sleeves can be found in EPDM rubber, Neoprene to handle a wide variety of application requirements
Safety from misalignment, shock, and vibration:
PARALLEL:
The S-Flex coupling accepts as much as .062 in of parallel misalignment without having wear. The flexible coupling sleeve minimizes the radial loads imposed on gear bearings, an issue commonly related with parallel misalignment.
AXIAL:
The S-Flex couplings may be used in applications which call for a constrained quantity of shaft end-float with out transferring thrust loads to products bearings. Axial movement of around 1/8 inch accepted.
ANGULAR:
The flexing action on the elastomeric sleeve as well as the locking feature from the mating teeth enables the S-Flex coupling to effectively handle angular misalignment as much as 1??.
TORSIONAL:
S-Flex couplings proficiently dampen torsional shock and vibration to safeguard linked products. The EPDM and Neoprene sleeves have torsional wind-up versatility of 15?? at their rated torque. Hytrel provides 7??wind-up.
