Characteristics and Performance Details
The S-Flex coupling design and style is comprised of three parts: two flanges with internal teeth engage an elastomeric versatile sleeve with external teeth
Torque is transmited through the flanges mounted on each the driver and driven shafts by way of the sleeve
Misalignment and torsional shock loads are absorbed by shear deflection in the sleeve
The shear characteristic with the S-Flex coupling is incredibly very well suited to soak up affect loads
The S-Flex coupling presents combinations of flanges and sleeves which might be assembled to fit your particular application
Thirteen sizes can be found 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 produced from zinc or cast iron
Sleeves are available in EPDM rubber, Neoprene to address a wide selection of application necessities
Protection from misalignment, shock, and vibration:
PARALLEL:
The S-Flex coupling accepts as much as .062 in of parallel misalignment without the need of wear. The flexible coupling sleeve minimizes the radial loads imposed on tools bearings, an issue normally related with parallel misalignment.
AXIAL:
The S-Flex couplings can be used in applications which need a constrained level of shaft end-float without the need of transferring thrust loads to tools bearings. Axial motion of roughly 1/8 inch accepted.
ANGULAR:
The flexing action with the elastomeric sleeve as well as locking attribute from the mating teeth allows the S-Flex coupling to properly take care of angular misalignment up to 1??.
TORSIONAL:
S-Flex couplings successfully dampen torsional shock and vibration to protect connected products. The EPDM and Neoprene sleeves have torsional wind-up flexibility of 15?? at their rated torque. Hytrel gives 7??wind-up.
