Offset Couplings Reduce Space Requirements for Shaft-to-Shaft Connections
February 1, 2016
Offset couplings from Zero-Max are designed to reduce space requirements for parallel offset shafts in large system applications. These specialized couplings provide machine designers with an option for reducing overall machine size and footprint.
Compact in design, Schmidt offset couplings transmit constant angular velocity and torque in a wide range of parallel shaft misalignments. Handling high amounts of parallel offset up to 9 inches, they are available with torque capacities up to 459,000 in-lbs.
Schmidt offset couplings can be mounted to shaft hubs or directly to existing machine flanges. They are available for shaft displacements of 0.156 inches to 17.29 inches and torque capacities from 55 to 459,000 in-lbs. Many design configurations are available including specials.
These couplings are available with zero-maintenance bearings to eliminate lubrication and system downtime. This sealed bearing feature has no lube fittings, making for a cleaner coupling set-up. This design keeps out contaminants and foreign matter, enabling the couplings to be used in tight spaces and in less than ideal operating environments.
