Description
The TB Woods 5JE is a single-piece EPDM solid sleeve insert designed as a direct replacement or spare element for size 5 Sure-Flex Plus flexible couplings. Sure-Flex Plus couplings are widely used throughout HVAC and industrial drive applications to transmit torque between shafts while accommodating misalignment and dampening vibration — and the sleeve insert is the heart of that performance.
Product Overview
The 5JE sleeve is molded from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) elastomer, a material well-regarded for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, weathering, and a wide range of chemicals. The solid sleeve design provides smooth, consistent torque transmission and acts as a sacrificial element — protecting connected equipment from shock loads and torsional vibration. When the sleeve wears, only the insert needs to be replaced, not the entire coupling assembly.
