Offset Couplings Provide Constant Rotating Speed

"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," said a company spokesperson.

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" and torque capacities from 55 to 459,000 inch-lbs. "Providing length space savings, they eliminate radial vibration from one end of the offset coupling to the other end. Most importantly, the Schmidt Offset Couple allows for dynamic misalignment changes with no performance loss," said the spokesperson.

Applications include:

• Metal processing systems: Schmidt Offset Couplings connect to nip rolls for accurately feeding steel web material for processing. They open easily for threading in new material and allow for different material thicknesses. They allow downforce on a nip roll while isolating the downforce from the connecting motor/gearbox. They are a good choice for uncoilers, coil straighteners and roll forming systems, among other types of metal processing equipment.
• Automated assembly systems: Schmidt Offset Couplings open up new possible applications for automated systems in a variety of industries.
