S-Flex Couplings
The simple design of the S-Flex Coupling ensures ease of assembly and reliable performance. No special tools are needed for installation or removal. The S-Flex Coupling design is comprised of three parts. Two flanges with internal teeth engage an elastomeric flexible sleeve with external teeth. Each flange is attached to the respective shaft of the driver and driven and torque is transmitted across the flanges through the sleeve. Misalignment and torsional shock loads are absorbed by shear deflection in the sleeve. The shear characteristic of the S-Flex Coupling is very well suited to absorb impact loads.
