Schmidt Kupplung

Schmidt-Kupplung GmbH, established in 1965 in Niedersachsen, Germany, pioneered the Schmidt coupling design with their patent granted in February 1967. The company specializes in precision coupling systems that enable constant-velocity torque transmission between radially offset shafts without inducing side loads during operation.

The Schmidt coupling design consists of three discs rotating in unison, interconnected by links with bearing-mounted connections spaced 120 degrees apart. This unique architecture maintains constant angular velocity between input and output shafts regardless of changes in radial displacement, with torque transmission capabilities ranging from 35 Nm to 6610 Nm.

• High-precision encoder couplings with low bearing stress
• Servo couplings optimized for dynamic positioning applications
• Compact all-metal couplings for extreme misalignment compensation
• Axially stiff couplings for precise linear drives
• Custom engineering solutions for test benches and machinery
