JE, JN, JES & JNS Type Elastomer Sleeves
- Lovejoy offers flexible sleeves for S-Flex Endurance couplings in three designs: one-piece solid, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
- The one-piece split design provides solutions for applications with unique requirements where small shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece solid sleeve
- Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of the sleeve engage with teeth of the coupling flanges
- No clamps or screws are needed to connect the flanges with the flexible sleeve which securely lock together under torque for smooth transmission of power
- Torque is transmitted through shear loading of the sleeve
- All three sleeve materials are highly elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect connected equipment from harmful shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
-
These sleeves feature a one-piece design molded in EPDM & Neoprene
rubber. In the case of JES & JNS Types, the one-piece design is split to
provide for ease of installation and removal.

E & N Type Elastomer Sleeves
- Lovejoy offers flexible sleevse for S-Flex Endurance couplings in three designs: one-piece solid, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
- The one-piece split design provides solutions for applications with unique requirements where small shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece solid sleeve
- Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of the sleeve engage with teeth of the coupling flanges
- No clamps or screws are needed to connect the flanges with the flexible sleeve which securely lock together under torque for smooth transmission of power
- Torque is transmitted through shear loading of the sleeve
- All three sleeve materials are highly elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect connected equipment from harmful shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
- These sleeves feature a two-piece design with retaining ring. The E Type is molded in EPDM rubber and the N Type is molded in Neoprene. The two- piece design is ideal for applications where there is difficulty in separating the shafts of the driver and driven.

H & HS Type Elastomer Sleeves
- Lovejoy offers flexible sleeves for S-Flex Endurance couplings in three designs: one-piece solid, one-piece split, and two-piece with retaining ring
- The one-piece split design provides solutions for applications with unique requirements where small shaft separations inhibit the installation of a one-piece solid sleeve
- Pre-molded teeth along the diameter of the sleeve engage with teeth of the coupling flanges
- No clamps or screws are needed to connect the flanges with the flexible sleeve which securely lock together under torque for smooth transmission of power
- Torque is transmitted through shear loading of the sleeve
- All three sleeve materials are highly elastic which permits the S-Flex coupling to protect connected equipment from harmful shock loading, vibration, and shaft misalignment
-
These sleeves feature both a one-piece solid (H) and two-piece split
(HS) design and are molded of Hytrel. The sleeves in Hytrel material are
designed to transmit power for high torque applications.
Because of the design and the properties of the Hytrel molded sleeve, the H and HS sleeves should not be used as direct replacements for EPDM or Neoprene sleeves, and can only be used with S, TF, or SC flanges. -
