Couplings promise precise torque transmission

Semiflex couplings from Schmidt-Kupplung are designed with two pairs of parallel links installed 90 degrees out of phase with each other.

Semiflex couplings from Schmidt-Kupplung are designed with two pairs of parallel links installed 90 degrees out of phase with each other.

This patented arrangement allows for the precise transmission of torque and constant angular velocity between shafts with relatively large parallel misalignments.

Both shafts can adjust to each other in every radial direction not only whilst at rest, but also in transmission and under load.

No restoring forces are imposed on the shaft support bearings from the operation of the coupling system.

To ensure a backlash free shaft connection and to ease installation the Semiflex Compact Plus series comes with press-fit clamp hubs in coupling diameters of 70 to 120mm and a nominal torque capacity ranging from 69 to 575Nm.

For higher torque requirements press-fit version for locking assemblies are offered.
