Characteristics and Effectiveness Information
The S-Flex coupling design and style is comprised of 3 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 via the sleeve
Misalignment and torsional shock loads are absorbed by shear deflection inside the sleeve
The shear characteristic of your S-Flex coupling is very very well suited to soak up effect loads
The S-Flex coupling offers combinations of flanges and sleeves which could be assembled to suit your specific application
Thirteen sizes are available with torque capabilities that range from 60 in-lbs to 72,480 in-lbs
The S-Flex flanges are supplied in 5 versions which are produced from zinc or cast iron
Sleeves can be found in EPDM rubber, Neoprene to handle a wide range of application specifications
Protection from misalignment, shock, and vibration:
PARALLEL:
The S-Flex coupling accepts up to .062 in of parallel misalignment with out put on. The versatile coupling sleeve minimizes the radial loads imposed on tools bearings, a problem commonly associated with parallel misalignment.
AXIAL:
The S-Flex couplings can be used in applications which call for a constrained volume of shaft end-float without having transferring thrust loads to products bearings. Axial motion of somewhere around 1/8 inch accepted.
ANGULAR:
The flexing action of the elastomeric sleeve and the locking attribute in the mating teeth allows the S-Flex coupling to properly deal with angular misalignment up to 1??.
TORSIONAL:
S-Flex couplings correctly dampen torsional shock and vibration to guard connected equipment. The EPDM and Neoprene sleeves have torsional wind-up flexibility of 15?? at their rated torque. Hytrel gives 7??wind-up.
