Torsionally soft disc coupling with linear characteristics, widely used in flange or independently mounted generator sets. The outstanding technical advantage is the precompression between the input flange and the rubber disc, which makes it free of backlash. The CENTAMAX-B is the only one of its kind of design with this feature. The input flange is not made as a toothed cast aluminium ring, but it is made as a steel plate with a series of single bolted steel bushes, which engage with the teeth of the rubber disc under substantial precompression. Due to this backlash free, precompressed connection, the couplings are much more resistant to wear due to misalignment or torsional vibration especially when under low or no load conditions.
Torsionally very soft, precompressed, free of backlash
Linear stiffness characteristics
Torsional stiffness can be adjusted by choice of different shorehardness discs
Damps vibrations and shocks, compensates for all kinds of misalignment.
Temperature resistant rubber, good heat dissipation due to ventilation all over the disc
Suitable for high speeds, accepts large bores in the hubs
No wearing parts, reliable long life, no maintenance
Compact, short design - input flange to SAE J620 or with hub for the connection of 2 shafts
Simple, easy assembly, radial exchange of the element
Available with or without fail safe device
non flanged, independently mounted units for main propulsion or auxiliary drives, such as gensets, pumps, compressors of all kinds of front PTO. The units can be mounted either on flexible or rigid mounts.
