Pivoting effortlessly instead of bending – this is how the Semiflex coupling compensates for high radial displacements. By leveraging its special functional principle, compensation is achieved in short conditions. This feature is not only responsible for the exceptional compactness of the torsionally stiff coupling, but lets the coupling not give up when it comes to high misalignments by compensating for them effortlessly, and, as a result of its absolute sync, not be thrown off course either.
High displacement caused by shaft misalignment, lateral offsets due to functional adjustment movements of the machine parts involved in the production process – applications where the Semiflex coupling wins at its best.
Compensation required
Shaft misalignment in rotating machinery can result in lost production and unplanned downtime and maintenance. Inaccuracies like these can amount to several millimetre tenths or more – a compensation coupling with the appropriate displacement capacity can be of remedy in this regard.
Limited space – without making any compromises
Due to increasingly limited installation space as a result of more compact systems, it is essential that flexible couplings provide high radial compensation capacity despite their compact design.
Functional offset of several millimetres to meet all needs
However, higher radial displacements, which must be compensated for efficiently, are not only brought about by the misalignments above. These radial shifts and offsets can also be deliberately used for functional reasons
