S-FLEX-type-couplings-for-power-transmission

TM The reformulated S-Flex Endurance is the longest lasting and best performing EPDM product available on the market. The S-Flex Endurance™ coupling design is comprised of three parts: two cast zinc or iron flanges with internal teeth engage an elastomeric flexible sleeve with external teeth. Torque is transmitted through the flanges mounted on both the driver and driven shafts via the sleeve. Misalignment and torsional shock loads are absorbed by shear deflection in the sleeve. The shear characteristic of the S-Flex Endurance coupling is very well suited to absorb impact loads. Combinations of flanges and sleeves can be assembled to suit your specific application, along with thirteen sizes with torque capabilities from 60 in-lbs to 72,480 in-lbs. Flanges are offered in five models which aremade from zinc or cast iron. Sleeves are available in EPDM rubber, Neoprene, or Hytrel* to address a wide variety of application requirements. Protection frommisalignment, shock, and vibration: Mechanical Power Transmission S-Flex Couplings Overview Parallel: The S-Flex coupling accepts up to 1.575 mm of parallel misalignment without wear. The flexible coupling sleeve minimizes the radial loads imposed on equipment bearings, a problem commonly associated with parallel misalignment. Axial: The S-Flex couplings can be used in applications which require a limited amount of shaft end-float without transferring thrust loads to equipment bea r i ngs . Ax i a l movemen t o f approximately 3.175 mm accepted. Angular: The flexing action of the elastomeric sleeve and the locking feature of the mat ing teeth al lows the S-Flex Coupling to effectively handle angular misalignment up to 1°. Torsional: S-Flex couplings effectively dampen torsional shock and vibration to protect connected equipment. The epdm and neoprene sleeves have torsional wind-up flexibility of 15° at their rated torque. Hytrel provides 7° wind-up.
