CENTAX-K

CENTAX-V series includes torsionally soft intermediate couplings and bearing support for universal joint shafts designed for construction equipment, ship propulsion drives, and locomotives. This versatile, highly torsionally flexible intermediate coupling has linear characteristics. For cardan driveshafts, the CENTAX-V series provides the safe transmission of torque via a highly flexible, pre-compressed rubber-in-shear element with precision-centered bearings built in. A highly flexible intermediate coupling like the CENTAX-V assures damping of the vibrations and noise for smooth operation and a longer service life for connected units and gear. The CENTAX-V is ventilated with a high allowable energy loss to ensure good heat dissipation and prevent overheating during operation. The couplings are economically priced, and readily available with several standard SAE flywheel connections and hubs to suit a variety of shaft flanges. CENTA-FH flange housings are recommended for larger deflection angles.

Ideal for heavy-duty and high-speed applications, the CENTAX-TT is a compact twin torque coupling with high performance. Designed with two concentrically arranged, pre-compressed “twin” rubber segments to jointly transmit torque, the CENTAX-TT is a high-performing design specifically built for a high torque range. Used for ship propulsion, generator sets, and similar applications, the CENTAX-TT is characterized by medium torsional stiffness. Torsional adaptation can be achieved by adjusting the number and arrangement of the rubber segments to allow for many different configurations. The CENTAX-TT damps torsional vibrations and shock loads. Able to compensate axial and radial misalignments, this flexible coupling is an ideal solution. Effectively ventilated for high admissible energy loss, the CENTAX-TT can hold up under many tough environments. Mounted with minimal effort and replaceable without movement of surrounding coupled components, the CENTAX-TT is a compact, low-maintenance coupling solution.

Part of the CENTAX-K line, the CENTAX-KS features a hub integrated into the plastic flange on the driven-side. The driving unit of this one-piece coupling is then plugged onto the splined shaft of your driven equipment for ease of assembly. The CENTAX-KS is available in variations to suit many different applications. Able to damp torsional vibrations and impacts to reduce wear and tear on your gear or pump, the CENTAX-KS compensates for axial and radial misalignment that may result during operation. The series covers torques ranging from 400 to 800 Nm. Tested and proven, CENTA products can withstand the toughest applications.
