TB Woods 5JES Insert
Optimize your power transmission assembly with the TB Woods 5JES Insert, a Single Piece EPDM Split Sleeve Insert engineered for size 5 Sure-Flex Plus Couplers. This high-performance elastomeric element is the direct technical replacement for the legacy 004246 part number, offering a seamless retrofit into existing Sure-Flex flange setups. Constructed from high-grade EPDM rubber, the 5JES provides a wide operational temperature range from -30°F to +275°F, making it ideal for demanding HVACR applications including centrifugal pumps, blowers, and industrial compressors. The split sleeve design allows for rapid installation and replacement without disturbing the connected equipment shafts or flanges, significantly reducing downtime. With a torque rating of 312 in-lbs and a maximum speed of 7,600 RPM, this insert utilizes 4-way flexing action to effectively absorb parallel misalignment, angular shock, and end float, protecting your motor bearings and driven components from premature wear.
Key Benefits- Enhanced Torque Capacity: Designed for Sure-Flex Plus specifications, providing high power density for Size 5 hubs.
- Superior Misalignment Compensation: Absorbs up to 1° of angular misalignment and 0.015 inches of parallel offset.
- Torsional Vibration Dampening: The EPDM material provides 21° of torsional wind-up at rated load to cushion system shock.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: Non-lubricated design eliminates the need for periodic greasing or internal seals.
- Chemical Resistance: Naturally resistant to heat, ozone, and typical mechanical room atmospheric moisture.
Is the 5JES sleeve interchangeable with older 5JE solid inserts?
Yes, the 5JES split sleeve is fully compatible with standard Size 5 flanges. The split construction is functionally identical to the solid 5JE but simplifies the installation process in close-coupled applications.
Can I use an EPDM insert in oily environments?
While EPDM is excellent for high temperatures and moisture, it is not recommended for constant oil exposure. For petroleum-heavy environments, a Neoprene (5JNS) or Hytrel insert should be specified.
How do I confirm if my coupling is a Size 5?
Size 5 Sure-Flex Plus flanges typically have an outside diameter of approximately 2 15/16 inches. Verify the sizing stamped on your existing hub or measure the flange OD before ordering the 5JES replacement sleeve.
