Qualities and Efficiency Details
The S-Flex coupling style is comprised of three elements: two flanges with inner teeth engage an elastomeric flexible sleeve with external teeth
Torque is transmited by the flanges mounted on both the driver and driven shafts through the sleeve
Misalignment and torsional shock loads are absorbed by shear deflection within the sleeve
The shear characteristic on the S-Flex coupling is incredibly effectively suited to absorb influence loads
The S-Flex coupling presents combinations of flanges and sleeves which might be assembled to suit your precise application
Thirteen sizes can be found with torque capabilities that range from 60 in-lbs to 72,480 in-lbs
The S-Flex flanges are provided in 5 designs which are made from zinc or cast iron
Sleeves are available in EPDM rubber, Neoprene to tackle a wide variety of application prerequisites
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 equipment bearings, an issue normally linked with parallel misalignment.
AXIAL:
The S-Flex couplings is often utilized in applications which demand a restricted level of shaft end-float without transferring thrust loads to tools bearings. Axial movement of about 1/8 inch accepted.
ANGULAR:
The flexing action with the elastomeric sleeve plus the locking characteristic of the mating teeth lets the S-Flex coupling to successfully take care of angular misalignment as much as 1??.
TORSIONAL:
S-Flex couplings properly dampen torsional shock and vibration to protect linked tools. The EPDM and Neoprene sleeves have torsional wind-up versatility of 15?? at their rated torque. Hytrel provides 7??wind-up.
