Schmidt-Kupplung®

The precision coupling for an extreme offset

Our classic for extreme parallel offset: the Schmidt-Kupplung is a compact, torsionally stiff performance shaft coupling and compensates variable parallel shaft offset without side loads in a very compact envelope. The Schmidt-Kupplung is the ideal precision component for small envelopes.
Through its modular construction both torque transmission and radial offset capacity can be optimized for each application.

Applications of the Schmidt-Kupplung®

Our classic for extreme parallel offset: the Schmidt-Kupplung is a compact, torsionally stiff performance shaft coupling and compensates variable parallel shaft offset without side loads in a very compact envelope. The Schmidt-Kupplung is the ideal precision component for small envelopes.
Through its modular construction both torque transmission and radial offset capacity can be optimized for each application. Typical applications are:

  • printing machines
  • roll forming machines
  • laminating machines
  • corrugated paper machines
  • paper making machines


 
 

No Side Loads
 The Schmidt-Kupplung does not add side loads to the drive.

Compact
 The coupling design of three discs and two sets of links requires very little floor space.

All Metal
 The well-balanced dimensions of the components and the large effective radius of the links give the Schmidt-Kupplung exceptional torsional stiffness.

Modular
The Schmidt-Kupplung is available in 3 basic series for various performance levels. There are three different shaft-hub connections available.


Easy Installation
 By choosing the appropriate shaft-hub connection, a drop-out installation of the coupling is possible.

Precise
 Torque is transmitted exclusively via compression and tension by the coupling links. This well balanced system transmits torque without adding side loads to the drive. Moreover, the Schmidt-Kupplung will not transmit radial vibration from the drive to the driven shaft.

Proven Technology
 For over 40 years the Schmidt-Kupplung has been successfully used in diverse applications all over the world.
