The Schmidt 5-D Coupling, part number L558S, is designed to accommodate significant shaft misalignments, including 5 degrees of angular misalignment, as well as axial and parallel displacements. This coupling minimizes the introduction of sideloads on connected shafts and machinery, which can help reduce vibrations and extend the lifespan of components such as bearings and motors. It maintains constant angular velocity, ensuring reliable torque transmission without performance loss due to increased shaft displacement. The coupling is suitable for heavy-duty applications, with a torque capacity of 86,000 in-lb and a performance rating of 46.5 HP at 100 RPM. Its design allows for easy installation and adjustment to misaligned shaft positions, making it a practical choice for various engineering projects.
Most couplings in the Schmidt Coupling line are designed to accommodate either axial, angular, or parallel shaft displacements only.
The 5-D Couplings are a modification of the Schmidt Inline Coupling, designed to accommodate 5 degrees of angular shaft misalignment, as well as axial and parallel misalignment.
• Large shaft misalignment capabilities (angular, axial, and parallel)
• Easy installation for any misaligned shaft position
• No heavy sideloads
• Constant angular velocity.
