Controlflex from SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG is designed especially for the requirements of shaft encoders. The unique design of the middle element transmits torque at constant angular velocity and accommodates all kinds of misalignment with very low restoring forces. This is essential for encoders due to their small and sensitive bearings. The misalignment is compensated in-plane in a remarkably small envelope. Controlflex is easy to install thanks to clamp hubs. Additionally the aluminium hubs are anodized and provide protection against corrosion. The coupling is electrically insulating, builds short and dampens vibration due to the material of the middle element.

The Schmidt-Kupplung is a compact, torsionally stiff performance shaft coupling for a large, variable radial shaft offset. The well-balanced system transmits torque without adding side loads to the drive. The all-metal coupling is designed to transmit high torque in a compact envelope and provides high torsional stiffness and is ideal in lots of applications such as woodworking machines, roll forming machines, printing machines, packaging machines and paper making machines.
