Zero-Max F019C Schmidt parallel-offset coupling, size 19, series F, variant C. This flexible coupling transmits torque between parallel shafts with lateral offset, ideal for printing, paper, and roll-conversion equipment.

Schmidt Flexible Couplings provide precision for slightly misaligned shafts and are designed to adapt to various drive conditions. This coupling uses precision sintered parts for the hubs which are connected to the shafts. The molded flexible center disc is preloaded on the precision shafts of the end disc which give the coupling a zero backlash condition. Different configurations of the coupling and the choice of three durometers (soft, standard, stiff) of the center disc result in the ability of this coupling to be adapted to various drive conditions. The Flexible Coupling may be built into a floating shaft design by including one coupling at each end of an intermediate shaft. Among the many applications where the Flexible Couplings are used include collators, printing machines, packaging machines and pumps.
