1-3/8 in bore flange for Sure-Flex 8S
This cast-iron flange hub fits Sure-Flex coupling size 8 and accepts a 1-3/8 inch round keyed bore. It is intended for compressors, conveyors, motors and pumps that require a secure shaft connection. The hub body length is 3/4 in and the overall length through the bore is 2 3/32 in.
4 500 RPM rating with 1 475 in-lb torque
The flange is rated for a maximum speed of 4 500 RPM and a maximum torque of 1 475 in-lb. Cast-iron construction provides rigidity for continuous power transmission in industrial machinery. Bore tolerance of +0.0005 in to +0.0015 in ensures a precise fit on the shaft.
5 29/64 in outside diameter
The outside diameter of 5 29/64 in and hub diameter of 3 1/4 in define the space required for installation. No bushing is used with this flange hub, so the bore mounts directly to the shaft. Buyers needing a different bore size or a bushed hub must select another part.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 8S flange on a 1-3/8 in shaft and what step is often missed?
Press the flange onto the shaft within the +0.0005 to +0.0015 in bore tolerance, insert the key into the keyway, then secure with the set screw; the step often missed is verifying the key seats fully before tightening.
What maintenance or replacement will the 8S138 flange need over time?
The cast-iron flange itself requires no routine maintenance; inspect the key and set screw for wear during scheduled downtime and replace the Sure-Flex sleeve element when it shows cracking or deformation.
What limit appears first when the 8S flange runs continuously at high load?
The 1,475 in-lb torque rating is the primary limit; exceeding it will cause sleeve failure before the 4,500 RPM speed limit becomes a factor.
