Couplings, Non Lubricated,

Maintenance Free, Easy and Quick Installation

Handles All Combinations of Shock, Vibration, and Misalignment

Parallel

Angular

Torsional

Axial

QUADRA-FLEX couplings
absorb parallel misalignment
without wear and with
minimal loss of energy.
The amount of parallel offset
handled varies by size from
.015 on the size 5 up to .062
on the size 16. This minimizes
the radial loads on bearings
when parallel misalignment
occurs.

Due
to
the
flexing
characteristics of the sleeve
and the locking action of the
teeth,
QUADRA-FLEX
couplings easily handle
angular misalignment up to 1
degree
without
any
appreciable wear.

QUADRA-FLEX sleeves are

torsionally resilient and are
well suited to absorbing
shocks and dampening
vibrations
that
would
otherwise be transmitted
between the equipment.

The axial flexibility of the

sleeve allows the QUADRAFLEX coupling to accept a
limited amount of end float.
This serves to reduce thrust
loads transferred to bearings.
QUADRA-FLEX units will
accept axial movement of
approximately 1/8.

QUADRA-FLEX coupling sleeves are available in four
different types of compounds. These include TPR
(ThermoPlastic Rubber) in types JEM, JEMS, EM; EPDM

COUPLINGS

TPR

Rubber in type E; Neoprene in type N; Hytrel in type H and HS.

To determine the sleeve best suited for the application, the
material characteristics are given below.

NEOPRENE

EPDM

*HYTREL

(Sizes 11-16)

(Sizes 3-12)

(Sizes 13-16)

QUADRA-FLEX couplings
are usually supplied with TPR
sleeves in sizes 3-12. TPR is
a general use sleeve which
combines the characteristics
of both EPDM & Neoprene
into one. These sleeves
operate within a temperature
range from -50 F to +275 F
(-46 C to +135 C). Torsional
flexibility is 15.

QUADRA-FLEX couplings
are usually supplied with
EPDM rubber sleeves in sizes
13-16. EPDM is a general use
sleeve and can operate within
a temperature range from
-30 F to +275 F (-34 C to
+135 C). Torsional flexibility
is 15.

(Sizes 6-14)

Neoprene flexible sleeves are

also available in sizes 11-14.
These sleeves offer a higher
resistance than EPDM and
are self-extinguishing. Operating temperature range for
this sleeve is 0 F to +200 F
(-18 C to +93 C). Torsional
flexibility is 15.

Hytrel sleeves are molded

specifically for high torque
applications. The type H will
transmit approximately four
times as much power as an
equivalent TPR, EPDM, or
Neoprene sleeve. Hytrel has
an operating temperature
from -65 F to +250 F (-54 C
to +121 C). Torsional
flexibility is 7.
Note: Do not use a Hytrel
sleeve as a replacement for a
TPR, EPDM, or Neoprene
sleeve.

Selection
Procedure
Selection Procedure
When the driver is an electric motor with standard speed.
Step 1. Determine Service Factor (SF) Symbol based on
equipment listed on page C-10.
Step 2. Determine proper Service Factor from chart at top of
page C-10.

When the driver is other than an electric motor or the speeds

are different than those shown in the chart on page C-11.
Step 1. Follow steps 1 & 2 in previous procedure.
Step 2. Calculate Horsepower at 100 RPM as follows:
HP at 100 RPM = HP x Service Factor x 100

Step 3. Refer to page C-12 and C-13 for proper selection of

coupling. Based on chemical resistance and operating
environment found on page C-8, select from chart the type of
sleeve material. Find RPM of motor, then, in the column for
service factor determined in Step 2, read down to the
corresponding horsepower of motor being used as the driver.
The number listed is the correct coupling size.
Example: A coupling is needed to connect a 25 HP
standard electric motor to a lumber log haul at 1750
RPM.
1. Service Factor Symbol H
2. Service Factor 2.0
3. Coupling Size 9 with TPR sleeve or 6 with Hytrel
Sleeve

coupling RPM

Step 3. Select coupling size from Tables A or C. Find a HP

equal to or greater than the HP/100 RPM
Step 4. Check Maximum bore to be sure that both shaft sizes
do not exceed figure listed for size selected in step 4. If
maximum is exceeded select the next largest size which will
allow for bore size. Do not exceed maximum RPM for new size
selected.
Example: A bucket elevator is driven by a motor/reducer
and requires a coupling to transmit 14 HP at 1300 RPM.
1. Service Factor Symbol M
2. Service Factor 1.5
3. HP at 100 RPM = 14 x1.5 x 100 = 1.61 HP/100 RPM
1300

Step 4. Select flanges from pages C-15 thru C-19, check

coupling bore size range for proper shaft fit.
NOTE: Do not oversize coupling hub will cause
premature wear of element.

4. Refer to page C-11; under column for 100 RPM the

required 1.61 HP falls between the size 7 (1.2) and the
size 8 (1.8). Correct selection is size 8 with TPR sleeve.
Check bore sizes for flanges on pages C-15 thru C-19.

Hytrel) available in three construction styles. Our EM sleeve offers the combination of EPDMs extended temperature range as well
as the higher oil resistance which Neoprene provides.

Types JEM JEMS

Type J sleeves are molded ThermoPlastic
Rubber (TPR). Available in 1 piece solid
(JEM), and 1 piece split, construction
(JEMS). TPR material will handle higher
temperature ranges as well as be oil
resistant.

Bushings
Martin QD bushings offer convenient mounting of the
flange to the shaft securely without setscrews. They
are tapered and are split through both the bushing
flange and taper to provide a clamp fit, eliminating
wobble, vibration, and fretting corrosion. This is the
same bushing used in Martin sprockets and sheaves
and is readily available.

Between-Shaft
Spacings
QUADRA-FLEX Between-Shaft Spacings
Spacer couplings are available with the most popular between
shaft dimensions. Spacings other than standard can be
achieved by mixing flanges.
The Standard column provides spacings using identical

Standard

flanges; the Combination column provides spacings with

mixed flanges; the column headed Semi-Spacer uses one
flange that is not made for spacer coupling and therefore does
not have a detachable hub.

Installation
Instructions
COUPLINGS

Martin QUADRA-FLEX flanges (hubs) and elastomeric elements (sleeves) come in a wide range of sizes and types. First,
determine the size and type of coupling components required.
Remove all components from their boxes and loosely assemble
the coupling. Do not install the wire ring on the two piece
sleeves at this time. Check maximum RPM values in table
against operating speeds.
Martin EM sleeves are rated the same as other EPDM and
Neoprene sleeves, and may be used interchangeably; however,
Hytrel sleeves are rated at different values and may not be
interchanged with Martin EM sleeves, or the EPDM and
Neoprene sleeves. Check horsepower and torque ratings when
selecting Hytrel sleeves.

Step 5. Slide loose flange on the shaft until the sleeve has seated completely in teeth of both flanges. Refer to Y dimension
although not a critical dimension. Secure the flange to shaft
and torque set screws and cap screws to correct torque values.

Parallel

Step 1. Make sure the motor driving the part or components is

locked out electrically in such a manner that it cannot be started
by anyone, however remote from the area. The same type of
lockout procedure applies to any other driving device which
may be used. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
personal injury or property damage.
Step 2. Prepare shafts for coupling installation. Inspect all coupling components and remove any protective coating or lubricants from bores, mating surfaces, and fasteners.
Step 3. Slide one coupling flange onto each prepared shaft
using key stock where required. With the QD Type B flange, it
may be necessary to expand the QD bushing bore for ease of
installation.
Step 4. Position the flange on the shafts to acheive the approximate Y dimension (distance between flanges) shown in
table. It is best to have equal shaft length into each flange.
Tighten one flange in position, and slide the other flange sufficient distance back to install sleeve. Do not install wire ring on
two piece sleeve in its final position at this time, but allow it to
hang loosely in groove next to teeth.

Angular

Step 6. Check parallel alignment by placing a straight edge

across the two coupling flanges and measure the maximum
offset at several points around the periphery of coupling. Do
not rotate coupling when taking these measurements. Refer to
table for maximum allowed offset of parallel alignment. Realign
the coupling if necessary.
Step 7. Check angular alignment with a micrometer, vernier, or
caliper. Take measurement from outside to outside of flanges at
several points around the periphery of coupling. Do not rotate
coupling when taking these measurements. Determine the difference between maximum and minimum dimensions and
check to make sure they do not exceed the angluar figure on the
table. If a correction is necessary, recheck parallel alignment.

NOTE: Values shown above may apply if the actual torque transmitted is more than

Type H & HS sleeves should not be used as direct replacements for JEM or EM
sleeves.
Value when using 6J flanges is 2.125.

Step 8. If the coupling employs the two-piece sleeve with wire

ring, install ring in center groove of sleeve.
Note: Some force may be required to seat the ring in groove.
Step 9. Install protective guards and/or shields per OSHA and
any other additional local or state safety codes as required.
WARNING: Coupling sleeves may be forced from coupling
when subjected to a severe shock load or abuse.

Roller chain couplings have a torque capacity in excess of the torque normally transmitted by shafting which falls within the coupling bore range. Select the smallest coupling
which will accomodate both shafts. For a reversing operation, shock or pulsating loads,
or other severe operating conditions, select the next larger coupling size.
A cover should be used to assure maximum service life, particularly if the coupling
operates at high speeds or under moist conditions. For proper lubrication, fill the space
between the cover and the coupling with soft to medium consistency coupling grease.

Couplings

Martin Flex flexible couplings smoothly transmit power while compensating for shaft misalignment to 4, parallel misalignment

to 1/8 and end float to 5/16. The two piece flange design provides quick and easy installation and the elastomeric element absorbs
shock and torsional vibration through a wide temperature range.

COUPLINGS

Selection Procedure
1. Select the proper service factor from Chart 1.
2. Determine Design Horsepower by multiplying the Service Factor and the Drive Horsepower.
3. Locate the intercept of Shaft Speed and Design Horsepower from Chart 2.
4. Order per coupling: (2) bushings, (2) flange assemblies, (1) flexible tire element.

The service factors listed are intended only as a general guide

for smooth power sources such as electric motors and steam
turbines. Add 0.5 to factor for somewhat rougher power sources
such as internal combustion engines of four or more cylinders,
steam engines and water turbines. Where substantial shock
occurs or starting or stopping is frequent as on some inching
drives and on some reversing drives or where the power source
is an internal combustion engine with less than four cylinders
consult factory. Where torsional vibrations occur as in, for example, internal combustion engines or reciprocating compressors
or pump applications, check the coupling for possible development of damaging large amplitude vibrations.
** Add 0.5 to factor if without flywheel.
