Sure-Flex is a TB Wood's original! Sure-Flex Couplings utilize a rubber (EPDM or Neoprene) or Hytrel™ thermoplastic flex element (sleeve) to transmit torque and accommodate shaft misalignments. Sure-Flex couplings have exceptional torsional flexibility, and the
4-way flexing action absorbs virtually all types of shock, vibration, misalignment, and
end float. Sure-flex couplings are an excellent choice when low cost, high flexibility, vibration damping, and easy installation are primary concerns.

No maintenance
   
Standard and reduced moment designs available
   
Capable of being torsionally tuned to suit specific machinery requirements



HSB (High Speed Backstop) clutches are used on to prevent rotation in the opposite direction from the normal driving direction. When the fan drive is off, wind pressure from other fans or ambient breezes can apply sufficient force to rotate fan blades in the opposite direction. The HSB clutch allows the fan to freely rotate in the desired driving direction while preventing any rotation in the opposite direction.



Boston Gear's 800 Series contains a focused selection of compact, heavy duty helical gear drives that offer long-life performance and simplified maintenance. The 800
Series provides a functional
interchange for SEW Eurodrive
and other European manufacturers' helical gear drives, making it uniquely practical for replacement
applications.
