Couplings forgive misalignment
The Loewe GK coupling from Schmidt-Kupplung is designed to combine generous angular and radial misalignment compensation with resistance to axial motion.

Couplings cater for extreme parallel shaft offsets
The Schmidt-Kupplung is a torsionally stiff performance coupling that compensates variable parallel shaft offset without side loads in a very compact envelope.
The coupling combines the technical features of a single universal joint (angular misalignment capacity, axially fixed) and a coupling (radial misalignment capacity).
As a result the coupling features a compact form factor.
The crossed pins slide easily in the bearings, which allow a pivotal and radial displacement of the two hubs with lowest side and bearing loads.
The Torque series is offered with outer diameters ranging from 27 to 100mm and a nominal torque capacity ranging from 4 to 220Nm.
The axial stiffness makes them suitable for axially unrestricted shafts.
To ensure a backlash-free shaft connection, the series is equipped with press-fit clamp hubs.
The Loewe GK Linear series is ideal for the pure transmission of linear push and pull loads in cylinder systems.
For these applications the linear couplings are offered with clamp hubs or alternatively with threaded inner and outer hubs to connect piston rods.
For screw jack applications Schmidt-Kupplung has designed a special flange-mounting version for the connection on a nonrotating thread spindle.
