Offset compensation free of restoring forces even in the narrowest gaps The Semiflex coupling is a torsionally stiff and restoring-force-free precision coupling. In addition to the compensation of axial and angular displacements, it provides high radial displacement capacity together with compact design. The displacement compensation takes place without any restoring forces and via the unique system of two pairs of 90°-offset parallel links. The angle synchronisation of the connected shafts is retained at all times. www.schmidt-kupplung.com

| Controlflex | Semiflex | Schmidt-Kupplung | Servoflex | Loewe GK | Omniflex Technique Synchronisation, even with high displacement The Semiflex transmits torque via two pairs of 90°-offset parallel links. They connect the input and output disc with the centre disc. In case of aligning shafts, all three di- scs are also in an aligned position. In case of occurring radial displacement, the links move parallely as one group and let the centre disc radially divert by a corresponding extent. Since each pair of the coupling links always remains in- ternally parallel to each other, the connected...

The drive and power take-off synchronisation is always ensured. Torsionally stiff and high torque transmission The components of Semiflex are made of high-quality steel with high tensile strength and tempered steel or high-strength aluminium (Dynamic line). It offers high torsional stiffness...

| Controlflex | Semiflex | Schmidt-Kupplung | Servoflex | Loewe GK | Omniflex High misalignement capacity in compact design Extremely space-saving design Compact without limitations A design advantage of Semiflex are its very compact dimensions. Here, there is no dependence between the amount of radial offset values and the overall length. For couplings which compensate for offset with bending elastic behaviour, the permissible offset significantly decreases with shorter designs. Semiflex thus gives the user a space-saving design with no restrictions on the function values. With extremely...

| Controlflex | Semiflex | Schmidt-Kupplung | Servoflex | Loewe GK | Omniflex Product line-up Standard F The Standard line combines performance, compact design and great displacement options. The Standard line is available for nominal torques up to 14,500 Nm. Compact Plus C For axially extremely confined installation space - up to 25% shorter length compared to the Standard line, while maintaining performance values and displacement options. The Compact Plus line is available for nominal torques up to 7,040 Nm. Dynamic D The lightweight aluminium line with low mass inertia - the line...

| Controlflex | Semiflex | Schmidt-Kupplung | Servoflex | Loewe GK | Omniflex Different hub forms, in any combination All frictional and keyed hub designs can be combined as required depending on size and can thus be precisely adapted to your specific requirements. That is, you can, for example, select a clamping hub design on the drive side (hub form 3) and a split clamping hub on the output side (hub form 2) in order to quickly replace a machine part and remove it radially. Other customised hub designs not listed here are available as op- tions. Examples are listed on pages 24-25,"Custom...

| Controlflex | Semiflex | Schmidt-Kupplung | Servoflex | Loewe GK | Omniflex Selection sequence The selection of the Semiflex is determined by the various performance parameters. These include torque, speed and occurring displacement. The influences of these parameters are described below: Selection according to torque Calculation of the design torque TD: Please multiply your continuous torque TA by the required performance factor F and the required service factor to get the design torque. TD = TA x F x K Please choose your operating speed of your application combined with the required...
