CENTAX-KS

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.

Under the CENTAX-K product line, the CENTAX-KK features a two-piece connection to the driven units. Using an additional hubstar from the CENTAFLEX-K series, an axial blind mount is achieved. The design allows for keyed connections, conical clamping, or the CENTALOC-clamping. The positive locking of the hub with an integrated rubber bumper provides additional innovation and customization, ensuring that the fixed rotating direction coupling is free of backlash. The innovative design ensures reduced noise during operation. Excellent for marine and energy applications, the CENTAX-KK has the quality features of the CENTAX-K, available customization, and superior adaptability for each application.

The CENTA-FH is a flange housing with internal taper bearing support to protect engine crankshafts from the reaction forces coming from high angle cardan shaft connections. The CENTA-FH compensates high forces resulting from large deflection angles of the connected components. The CENTA-FH transmits reaction forces to the engine housing for the protection of the crankshaft bearings. This robust flanged bearing housing is made of tempered aluminum. With a lightweight, compact design, the CENTA-FH bearing housing is extremely easy to maintain and durable. Features extensive ventilation to reduce the ambient temperature. Available with a speed-controlled centrifugal clutch for soft engagement of connected components, the CENTA-FH provides ideal torsional vibration tuning and minimum mounting and maintenance. The bearing housing is shipped pre-assembled as a unit for SAE standard flywheel connections.
