S-FLEX COUPLINGS Quality Products for Mechanical & Fluid Power

Lovejoy Reformulates S-Flex Endurance™ Couplings to Last 3X Longer Lovejoy is pleased to announce it has redesigned its S-Flex Shear Type coupling product to make it the highest quality and longest lasting offering available in the marketplace. Lovejoy engineers reconfigured the material and have delivered a new and improved, longer lasting EPDM rubber sleeve. Lovejoy is introducing the redesigned product as “S-Flex Endurance™ Couplings” to signify the increased longevity and other performance improvements. Shear type or sleeve type couplings originated in the 1950s and is a popular choice for...

Mechanical Power Transmission S-Flex Couplings Safety Warning. When using any of these products, you must follow these instructions and take the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause the power transmission product to break and parts to be thrown with sufficient force to cause severe injury or death. Refer to this catalogue for proper selection, sizing, kW, torque range, and speed range of power transmission products, including elastomeric elements for couplings. Follow the installation instructions included with the product, and in the individual product catalogues for proper installation...

Mechanical Power Transmission S-Flex Couplings The reformulated S-Flex EnduranceTM 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...

Mechanical Power Transmission S-Flex Couplings Continue to benefit from the characteristics of the S-Flex coupling but for 3 times longer! The new EPDM coupling sleeve element lasts at least 3 times as long as the previous design, saving you valuable downtime opportunity costs and maintenance costs. The new material also provides at least 30% increased torque rating and allows for product downsize in 50 % of applications creating an average cost saving of 23 - 33% for sleeve element replacement. Extensive testing performed by the R&D department compared the new and improved EPDM S-Flex Endurance...

Mechanical Power Transmission S-Flex Couplings S-Flex Endurance Coupling Selection Process The selection process for determining the proper S-Flex coupling requires using the charts shown on the following pages. There are three components to be selected, two flanges and one sleeve. Information necessary before a coupling can be selected: » kW/HP and RPM of Driver or running torque. » Shaft size of Driver and Driven equipment and corresponding keyways. » Application or equipment description. » Environmental conditions (i.e. extreme temperature, corrosive conditions, space limitations). List of...
