The new Omniflex from SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG offers high universal shaft misalignment compensation with compact dimensions. The torsionally stiff and robust couplings have been developed for maximum torque requirements and for the toughest cycle operations. The precise couplings are predestined for industrial heavy duty applications such as press drives, forge rollers, test units for large-scale gearboxes and applications in process engineering.
The robust couplings are configured for maximum torque transmission. The performance spectrum at nominal torque levels ranges from 3 kNm to 6400 kNm.
In conjunction with special spherical bearings, the coupling system offers high universal shaft misalignment equalisation without restoring forces.
Depending on the size, the precision couplings offer an angular misalignment of max. 3°, a radial shaft misalignment of max. +/-200 mm and an axial compensation of max. +/-50 mm.
The coupling design of three discs and two sets of links requires a very little space.
The couplings offer a high level of torsional stiffness and work with high precision. Additional robustness of the couplings make them predestined for the toughest cycle operations and for applications with very hard impact moments.
Fields of application for the Omniflex are industrial gear boxes, large-scale gearboxes, press drives, forge rollers, gearbox dynamometers, process technology, conveyor systems, mixers and stirrers, and many more besides.
