TB Woods 5SC35 Spacer Flange
The TB Woods 5SC35 is a high-strength cast iron Type SC Sure-Flex Plus spacer flange engineered for demanding power transmission applications, specifically where a 3-1/2" distance between shafts is required. As a veteran-grade sleeve coupling spacer flange, this Size 5 component is designed to work seamlessly with the 5SCH spacer hub to provide a robust, non-lubricated connection that mitigates equipment vibration and protects bearings. With a maximum speed of 7,600 RPM and a torque capacity of up to 312 in-lbs, it offers 30% higher torque ratings than standard elastomeric couplings, allowing for a more compact footprint without sacrificing performance. The 1-11/16" length through bore ensures stable shaft engagement, while the 4-way flexing action inherently handles angular and parallel misalignment. For contractors maintaining pumps, compressors, or conveyors, this TB Woods 5SC35 spacer flange provides a drop-in replacement that eliminates the need for frequent maintenance intervals in harsh HVACR environments.
Key Benefits- High-Strength Cast Iron Construction: Delivers superior durability and structural integrity for industrial-grade torque transmission.
- 3-1/2 Inch Spacer Gap: Ideal for applications requiring significant space between shafts, facilitating easier maintenance of motor and pump seals.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The Sure-Flex Plus system requires no lubrication, reducing long-term operational costs and mess.
- 4-Way Flexing Action: Effectively absorbs shock, vibration, and end float while accommodating up to 1 degree of angular misalignment.
- Universal Compatibility: Fully interchangeable with existing Type SC components and secondary industry-standard flexible sleeve couplings.
What hub is required for the 5SC35 spacer flange?
This flange is specifically designed to be used with the TB Woods 5SCH spacer hub to complete the spacer assembly.
Can this flange handle high-speed motor applications?
Yes, it is rated for a maximum speed of 7,600 RPM, making it suitable for high-speed centrifugal pumps and standard 1750/3450 RPM motors.
Does this require special tools for alignment?
No, the precision-machined faces allow for accurate alignment using only a straightedge and calipers, simplifying field installation for contractors.
