Schmidt Kupplung®
The precision coupling for an extreme shaft offset in a small D.B.S.E. (distance between shaft ends)
Our classic design for extreme parallel offset. The Schmidt-Kupplung is a compact, torsionally stiff performance shaft coupling that compensates for variable parallel shaft offset without side loads during operation. 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.

This outstanding product provides an excellent choice, addressing different customer needs for a high performance standard item or utilizing the unique drive design concept to be successfully adapted and tailored to meet a specific application demand.
The video demonstrates one of the innovative and precision shaft couplings known as the Schmidt-Kupplung®. It is a torsionally stiff performance coupling that compensates for variable parallel shaft offset, up to a staggering 275 mm, without side loads and in a very compact envelope.
The well-balanced design transmits torque without adding side loads to the drive. The Schmidt-Kupplung@ is utilised in many applications, in fact the design can be utilised in any transmission design where high torque, high shaft offset and small DBSE is present. The precision coupling transmits torque under constant angular velocity at all possible offsets and can transmit torque ranges from 35 Nm to 6610 Nm. 2D and 3D CAD format drawings are available for all model types.
Applications of the Schmidt-Kupplung®
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 delivers exceptional torque in a small length and outsiode diameter .
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, thos being a taper lock, standard bore or flange mount.
Easy Installation
By choosing the appropriate shaft-hub connection, a drop-out installation of the coupling is possible.
Precise
Torque is transmitted via compression and tension of the coupling lever 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.
