Quick-Flex white insert (high temperature)
The white Quick-Flex insert is made of a heat resistant
urethane compound for use in applications where heat
is a concern. This insert can handle temperatures up to
350 F (177 C) and provides torque capabilities equal to
our blue insert.
Quick-Flex black insert (highest torque)
The black Quick-Flex insert offers the highest torque
ratings of any of our inserts. This insert is well suited
for very high torque applications and Quick-Flex couplings
with a black insert are excellent replacements for gear
style couplings. This insert offers an operational
temperature range of -60 F to 212 F (-50 C to 100 C).

Quick-Flex Standard Coupling with Split Cover

* Quick-Flex Split Covers

are ideal in applications
where high torque is
combined with higher
speeds all the while
eliminating axial
loading.
