TB Woods Direct EPDM Insert Solid Sleeve Coupling Component

The TB Woods Direct EPDM insert solid sleeve coupling component is the replaceable elastomer element in a Sure-Flex style sleeve coupling. It is also called a coupling sleeve, flex sleeve, or sleeve coupling insert. It connects two shafts and transmits torque between them. It is a one-piece solid design molded from EPDM rubber, and it is used with matching flanged hubs.

Key Features:

• EPDM rubber construction that resists chemicals and oil
• One-piece solid insert design for dependable torque transmission
• 4-way flexing action that absorbs shock, vibration, end float, and both angular and parallel misalignment
• No lubrication required, so maintenance is low and operation is quiet
• Wide operating temperature range, from about -30°F to 275°F
• Replaceable insert that can be swapped without moving the connected equipment

These inserts are commonly used in motors, pumps, compressors, blowers, mixers, and conveyors. They protect connected equipment from shock loads and reduce wear on bearings and shafts. A complete coupling needs two hubs and one insert, so choose the insert size to match your hubs.
