What Are Sure-Flex Couplings?
Tb Woods Sure-Flex couplings are a type of flexible coupling known for their ability to connect two rotating shafts while compensating for misalignment, reducing vibration, and absorbing shock loads. These couplings consist of two hubs and a flexible elastomer sleeve, typically made from EPDM, Neoprene, or Hytrel. The innovative design of Sure-Flex couplings ensures long-lasting performance, minimal maintenance, and exceptional torsional flexibility.
Why Choose Sure-Flex Couplings?
- High Torque Rating: Sure-Flex couplings offer a 30% increase in torque rating, making them suitable for demanding applications while providing superior performance.
- Extended Lifespan: These couplings last over three times longer than competitors, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Cost Efficiency: The ability to use a smaller coupling size for many applications results in significant cost savings—up to 25% on pump applications.
- Interchangeable Design: Sure-Flex couplings are compatible with existing flanges, allowing for easy retrofitting and reduced installation time.
- No Lubrication Required: The maintenance-free design ensures trouble-free operation, eliminating the need for lubrication and minimizing operational disruptions.
