Product catalog summary
About Us
Schmidt-Kupplung GmbH has over 50 years of experience in advising machine manufacturers on compact coupling systems, offering both standard products and custom solutions across various industries.
Product Overview
The company specializes in torsionally stiff couplings known for their compactness and high functionality, partnering with renowned OEMs.
Controlflex Introduction
Controlflex is a precision coupling designed for shaft encoders, featuring low restoring force, minimal stress on encoder bearings, and constant angle-synchronous transmission. It is electrically insulating and suitable for speeds up to 25,000 min-1.
Technical Features
Controlflex's unique Delrin functional element offers high mechanical strength and flexural fatigue resistance, operating on a planar parallel crank gear principle with solid-state hinges for high displacement capacity and low bearing stress.
Product Line-Up
  • Standard: For common shaft encoders, combining precision with minimal restoring forces.
  • Compact: Designed for limited axial space in encoder applications.
  • Impuls Plus: For maximum measuring system resolution.
  • Industry: For rugged industrial encoders with large shaft diameters.
Material and Specifications
Controlflex uses high-strength aluminium and Polyacetal Delrin, offering high misalignment capacity and low restoring forces, with electrical insulation resistivity of approximately 1014 Ωcm.
Selection and Installation
Selection involves considering parameters like maximum speed, shaft displacements, and driving torque. Installation requires clean, dry, and burr-free connections with specific tolerances and fits.
Custom Solutions
Schmidt-Kupplung provides industry-specific and application-specific coupling solutions, including versions with variable axial travel and special structural lengths.
Specifications and Fit
The document specifies shaft fits and recommends tightening clamp screws to the specified torque values.
Applications
The versatility of coupling solutions is highlighted across industries such as PCB production, medical technology, process engineering, and machine tools.
Encoder Solutions
Controlflex is suitable for absolute and incremental encoders, ensuring precise measurement pulse transmission and low stress on encoder bearings.

| Controlflex | Semiflex | Schmidt-Kupplung | Servoflex | Loewe GK | Omniflex Technique Unique functional element Controlflex has a unique function element made of Delrin, which is characterised by high mechanical strength and rigidity, as well as flexural fatigue resistance. This specially shaped functional element operates according to the principle of the planar parallel crank gear with solid-state hinges, i.e. with two pairs of parallel link rods positioned at 90 degrees one from the other. The bend resilient pairs of link rods are firmly bonded with a rigid ring. High displacements - angle...
