Smooth Flow of Power
PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
Schmidt Couplings
Schmidt offset couplings enable a variable parallel offset between two shafts. They are adaptable to wide variations in radial displacement while running under load.
Invented in the early 1960s by Richard Schmidt, and added to the Zero-Max line of flexible shaft couplings in 1984, Schmidt couplings were originally developed under commission from NASA for use in propulsion systems for rockets in zero-gravity environments.

Smooth Flow of Power
BENEFITS
Schmidt Couplings
Schmidt Offset Shaft Couplings offer great flexibility in shaft displacement while maintaining undisturbed power transmission at constant angular velocity.
The Offset Couplings provide a smooth flow of power for maximum product quality. Unlike universal joints, there is no performance loss by increasing shaft offset.
Offset can be changed during operation
The radial offset is continuously variable during operation and under load within the permissible range. The synchronization of input and output is always guaranteed.
Precise and compact
The coupling works with three discs and two link levels. This ensures compactness and a torsionally rigid design.
The additional use of precision needle bearings in the coupling links ensures smooth and precise torque transmission.
Reaction forces free
Shaft misalignments are compensated for without reaction forces on bearings.
Dynamically balanced
The Schmidt Coupling is balanced by design. Radial vibrations are absorbed by the coupling.
