SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG GmbH

Semiflex from SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG is a torsionally-stiff, precise shaft coupling for transmitting torque from one shaft to another, in those cases where shaft alignment can not be guaranteed due to manufacturing tolerances, assembly procedures, wear or operational specifics. All types of shaft misalignment are accommodated via the Semiflex design. The radial shaft misalignment is compensated via pivoting parallel movement. No restoring forces are induced. The angular velocity of the connected shafts remains totally synchronized, regardless of the shaft misalignment. No restoring forces are induced. The Semiflex requires very little axial space. Misalignment capacity is not a function of coupling length.

For processes involving roll forming machines, a variety of specific shape changes are usually applied to cast materials. Because these reshaping processes are often performed by rollers or by forges, the couplings have to be precise, torsionally rigid and robust, and they have to have high displacement and offset capacity.

SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG offers modified couplings for the food industry for example in the production and processing of baked goods.

Couplings for the printing industry are required to work with absolute precision to guarantee a register pressure with high print quality. That starts in the actual printing mechanism and continues through the refinement process to quality assurance on the final product. Couplings from SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG can be found in many stations of the printing process. The compact design of the coupling systems allow the drive line concerned to be kept highly compact.

The Schmidt-Kupplung from 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 axially stiff coupling Loewe GK from Schmidt-Kupplung is ideal for torque applications where the coupling has to resist axial motion. The combination of kinematic properties permits additional generous radial and angular misalignment. The series of linear couplings was developed for the precise transmission of pure push and pull loads.

The new, revamped internet presence of SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG offers extended and even more comprehensive information about the individual lines of couplings.

Controlflex from SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG is designed especially for the requirements of shaft encoders. This encoder coupling compensates all kinds of misalignment with very low restoring forces and in a remarkably small envelope. The coupling is electrically insulating, builds short and always works with constant angular velocity.

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 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.

Controlflex from SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG is designed especially for the requirements of shaft encoders. The series “Industry” is predestinated for robust industrial encoders with larger shaft dimensions. The balanced aluminium clamp hubs are anodized to provide a protection against corrosion. The coupling size CPS 23.1 accommodates radial misalignment up to 1,5 mm, angular misalignment up to 1,5° and axial shaft misalignment up to 1 mm with low restoring forces.

The axially fixed Loewe GK Torque is designed for torque applications where the coupling has to resist axial motion.

The modular construction ensures a combination of a variety of different bore diameters from stock.

Semiflex from SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG is a torsionally-stiff, precise shaft coupling, which is short in length to fit into small envelopes. Radial shaft misalignment, depending on size up to 6,6 mm, is compensated via pivoting parallel movement of two pairs of coupling links. By design this compensation is free of restoring forces.
