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
H, HS Sleeve Types
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.
Hytrel is a polyester elastomer designed for high torque and high temperature applications and offers excellent resistance to chemical and oil conditions. Color is orange.
Notes
Notes
N/A
Operating Hytrel within a high service factor application is not recommended.
H and HS Type sleeves are designed for high torque applications, transmitting about 4 times as much power as an equivalent EPDM or Neoprene sleeve.
Hytrel sleeves can be used only with S or SC flanges and can not be used with J or B flanges.
Hytrel sleeves should not be used as direct replacements for EPDM or Neoprene applications.
