Sure-Flex Spacer Hub 8SC Bore 1-5/8
This TB Wood'S spacer hub connects rotating shafts in compressors, conveyors, motors and pumps. It suits maintenance engineers and original-equipment builders who need a cast-iron coupling component for inch-series power-transmission systems.
Install with standard keyed-shaft procedures
The hub has a round keyed bore of 1-5/8 inches with a tolerance of +.0005 to +.0015 inches. Length through bore is 1-23/32 inches. Misalignment beyond the coupling sleeve rating or an undersized keyway are the typical causes of vibration and premature wear.
Rated 4,500 RPM and 1,475 in-lb torque
These limits decide whether the hub matches the application. Exceeding either value risks hub or sleeve failure. The 3-1/4 inch outside and hub diameters fix the space envelope for the coupling assembly.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the spacer hub is running within its 4,500 RPM and 1,475 in-lb torque limits after installation?
Monitor the driven equipment speed with a tachometer and verify the motor torque rating does not exceed 1,475 in-lb; smooth rotation without vibration at operating speed indicates proper function.
What comes with the 8SC spacer hub and what must I supply separately?
The hub includes the cast-iron spacer body with a 1-5/8 in round keyed bore; you must supply the matching Sure-Flex sleeve, two flanges, key stock and shaft fasteners.
When should I choose the 8SC size with a 1-5/8 in bore versus another coupling size?
Select the 8SC spacer hub when your shaft diameter is 1-5/8 in and the application requires up to 4,500 RPM and 1,475 in-lb torque on compressors, conveyors, motors or pumps.
