Zero-Max Schmidt Offset Couplings provide machine designers with a proven method to ensure machines operate with constant phase accuracy and constant speed throughout the rotation and cycle of the machine.
Where precise performance of system components is required and reduced machine size is important, these Offset Couplings provide a solution. They are available in sizes with a large range of parallel misalignment capacity with shaft displacements of 0.156 to 17.29 in. and torque capacities from 55 to 459,000 in-lb. Providing length space savings, they eliminate radial vibration from one end of the offset coupling to the other end. Most important, the Schmidt Offset Couple allows for dynamic misalignment changes with no performance loss.
