What this insert does
The Tb Wood'S 4JN Sure-Flex sleeve coupling insert is a neoprene component designed for power-transmission systems. It connects driving and driven shafts in equipment such as blowers, compressors, conveyors, mixers, motors and pumps. The one-piece solid construction handles angular misalignment up to 1 degree and parallel offset of 0.01 in.
Neoprene material benefits
The neoprene insert provides torsional stiffness of 458 in-lb/rad to damp vibration and absorb shock loads across the drivetrain. It operates at temperatures up to 200 degrees F and supports a maximum speed of 7,600 RPM. The material choice suits general industrial environments where oil resistance and flexibility are required.
Deciding specification
The insert is rated for a maximum torque of 156 in-lb and delivers 0.25 hp at 100 RPM. Select this part only when the application torque stays within that limit and the shaft arrangement matches the 2 5/16 in outside diameter and 1 1/4 in width. Buyers needing higher torque capacity or a different coupling size cannot use this insert.

Questions about this item
When will the neoprene sleeve insert need replacement?
The neoprene insert operates up to 200 °F; inspect it periodically for cracking or hardening caused by heat cycles and misalignment.
What limits continuous operation at 7,600 RPM?
The 7,600 RPM rating is the maximum speed; sustained running at this limit increases centrifugal stress and heat buildup in the neoprene.
How much heat and power loss occur during all-day running?
Torsional stiffness of 458 in-lb/rad means some energy becomes heat; at 100 RPM the insert transmits 0.25 hp while staying within the 200 °F limit.
