What’s a Schmidt coupling you might ask, A Schmidt coupling
is a type of coupling designed to accommodate large radial displacement between
two shafts, in the video above, that is shown very clearly, by turning the
first "rack", the three beams are rotated either clockwise, or
counter clockwise, which turns the second "rack", which then repeats
the same action with the beams again, and then the third "rack"
closes the coupling and a shaft is connected to it. A Schmidt coupling can
handle very high amounts of torque. There is no limit to how many
"racks" you can have, or how long the beams can be, but the longer
the beams, and more "racks" in the coupling, the more play in the
system. Until next time, if you can dream it, you can build it.
