TM 5-3895-374-24-2FORM 741ESure-Flex flanges (outer metallic parts) and sleeves(inner elastomeric members) come in many sizes andtypes. First, determine the size and type of componentsbeing used. Remove all components from their boxes,and loosely assemble the coupling on any convenientsurface. (Do not attempt to install the wire ring on thetwo-piece E or N sleeve at this time.) Also checkmaximum RPM values in Table 2 against operatingspeed. All rubber sleeves (EPDM and Neoprene) havethe same ratings for a given size and may be usedinterchangeably. However, because rubber and Hytrelsleeves have completely different ratings, they nevershould be used interchangeably.(1) Inspect all coupling components and remove anyprotective coatings or lubricants from bores, matingsurfaces and fasteners. Remove any existing burrs, etc.from the shafts.(2) Slide one coupling flange onto each shaft, usingsnug-fitting keys where required. With the Type Bflange, it may be necessary to expand the bore bywedging a screwdriver into the saw cut of the bushing.(3) Position the flanges on the shafts to approximatelyachieve the G1 dimension shown in Table 2. It isusually best to have an equal length of shaft extendinginto each flange. Tighten one flange in its final position.Refer to Table 1 for fastener torque values. Slide theother far enough away to install the sleeve. With a two-piece sleeve, do not move the wire ring to its finalposition allow it to hang loosely in the groove adjacent tothe teeth, as shown.Slide the losse flange on the shaft until the sleeve iscompletely seated in the teeth of each flange, (The "G1"dimension is for reference and not critical.) Secure theflange to the shaft using the torque values from Table 1.TABLE 1 - FASTENER TORQUE VALUES (ft.-lbs.)TYPE JTYPE STYPE BTYPE SC*TYPE CCoupling4 Hex Head1 SetscrewSize2 Setscrews2 Setscrews3 Hex HeadCap Screwsover KeywayClamping1Setscrewat 90at 90Cap ScrewsFlange to Hubin HubScrewsover Keyway33..................43...5 ½ **13......5713···413......61313591315137131359133013823239182355139...2393123551310...231550501301311...233075501301312...50601501002501313...10075150165......14...10075150165......16...100135150165......* Torque values apply to hub size when different than flange size.** Value for socket head clamping screw.(page 3-1347)
