Coupling varieties designed to meet exactly application demands
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.
They are available in standard program with outer diameters ranging from 50 to 300 mm in different hub versions. For a press-fit shaft connection the design engineer can choose between clamp hubs or split-clamp hubs for an easy drop-out installation or for higher torque requirements in a locking-assembly version. The nominal torque capacity ranges from 44 to 7.040 Nm. To ensure an accurate transmission of torque the all-metal coupling offers a high torsional stiffness up to 2.159 kNm/rad. The engineer is able to choose between three different series. In addition to the series Standard the series Compact Plus is designed for extremely axially limited space. For highly dynamic applications the series Dynamic offers a low moment of inertia. Typical applications for the Semiflex are printing machines, packaging machines or machine tools, rotary indexing systems, test units and in machines for material handling.

Modified versions and application-orientated coupling solutions are designed to meet exactly the different demands of customer’s applications.
For special requirements couplings with special surface treatments, axially-fixed couplings for applications with additional push and pull loads like in special printing machines, couplings with larger outer diameter and higher torque capacity, modified versions for higher temperature environments or couplings with customized dimensions and shaft connections are examples of designed application-orientated coupling solutions of the Semiflex.
