Qualities and Efficiency Details
The S-Flex coupling style and design is comprised of three elements: two flanges with internal teeth engage an elastomeric versatile sleeve with external teeth
Torque is transmited via the flanges mounted on the two the driver and driven shafts via the sleeve
Misalignment and torsional shock loads are absorbed by shear deflection inside the sleeve
The shear characteristic in the S-Flex coupling is quite nicely suited to soak up influence loads
The S-Flex coupling presents combinations of flanges and sleeves which could be assembled to fit your unique application
Thirteen sizes are available with torque abilities that vary from 60 in-lbs to 72,480 in-lbs
The S-Flex flanges are presented in 5 designs which are created from zinc or cast iron
Sleeves can be found in EPDM rubber, Neoprene to tackle a wide range of application requirements
Protection from misalignment, shock, and vibration:
PARALLEL:
The S-Flex coupling accepts as much as .062 in of parallel misalignment with no put on. The flexible coupling sleeve minimizes the radial loads imposed on gear bearings, an issue generally related with parallel misalignment.
AXIAL:
The S-Flex couplings might be utilized in applications which need a restricted level of shaft end-float without having transferring thrust loads to tools bearings. Axial movement of somewhere around 1/8 inch accepted.
ANGULAR:
The flexing action in the elastomeric sleeve as well as locking attribute on the mating teeth permits the S-Flex coupling to proficiently manage angular misalignment up to 1??.
TORSIONAL:
S-Flex couplings proficiently dampen torsional shock and vibration to safeguard linked tools. The EPDM and Neoprene sleeves have torsional wind-up flexibility of 15?? at their rated torque. Hytrel offers 7??wind-up.
