Tb Wood'S
Tb Wood'S 5N Sure-Flex Sleeve Coupling Insert Neoprene
Neoprene sleeve coupling insert for size 5 couplings, rated 312 in-lb torque at 7,600 RPM with 1 degree angular and 0.015 in parallel misalignment capacity
- Neoprene sleeve handles 7,600 RPM for high-speed drives
- 312 in-lb torque capacity powers blowers, compressors and conveyors
- 5 hp at 100 RPM meets mixer and pump demands
- Two-piece design with retaining ring eases installation and service
- 200 °F rating suits hot industrial environments
Industrial Power Transmission Insert
The Tb Wood's 5N Sure-Flex sleeve coupling insert is a neoprene component designed for mechanical power transmission systems. It suits maintenance engineers and plant operators replacing worn inserts in existing 5N coupling assemblies used on blowers, compressors, conveyors, mixers, motors and pumps.
Two-Piece Retaining Ring Design
The new two-piece construction with a retaining ring simplifies installation and removal without full shaft disassembly. Neoprene material provides torsional stiffness of 916 in-lb/rad while damping vibration across driven equipment. The design accommodates 1 degree angular and 0.015 in parallel misalignment to protect connected machinery.
Inch-Series Coupling Compatibility
Built to inch-system dimensions with a 2 15/16 in outside diameter and 1 9/16 in width, this insert fits Size 5 Sure-Flex flanges. It transmits up to 312 in-lb torque at speeds up to 7,600 RPM and operates continuously to 200 degrees F. Buyers needing metric-series flanges or higher torque capacity should verify alternate coupling sizes.

Questions about this item
How often will the neoprene sleeve insert need replacement in a pump running continuously?
Neoprene wears with heat and misalignment; at the rated 200 °F maximum temperature and 1 ° angular limit the insert life shortens, so plan inspection intervals based on actual operating temperature and alignment checks.
What is the first limit reached when the coupling runs at full 312 in-lb torque for long periods?
The 7,600 RPM speed ceiling and 200 °F temperature cap are the hard limits; sustained peak torque raises heat, so the thermal limit typically appears before the torque rating is exceeded.
How much heat and noise does the 5N insert generate when driving a blower motor all day?
Neoprene dampens vibration, keeping noise low; heat rise depends on load and speed, but the insert is rated to 200 °F, so continuous operation near 0.5 hp at 100 RPM stays within the thermal envelope.
