TB Wood's Introduces New Sure-Flex Plus EPDM and Neoprene Sleeves
TB Wood’s new Sure-Flex Plus EPDM and Neoprene sleeves have a 30% higher torque rating, allowing many common applications to use a one-size-smaller coupling at an average 25% cost savings. This lowers the cost of both the initial coupling purchase and future sleeve replacements.
Testing has shown that size-for-size Sure-Flex Plus sleeves last more than 3X longer than the competition. The longer service life in demanding applications reduces required maintenance and associated replacement cost.
The Sure-Flex Plus sleeve design is 100% compatible with all existing TB Wood’s and competitive coupling flanges. Retrofitting a sleeve eliminates the need to replace the full coupling. A new, easy-to-use online selection program, 3-D CAD models, e-catalog, and interchange guide are available at www.TBWoods.com/SureFlexPlus.
