The new CENTAX-K range of torsionally and radially soft flexible couplings. In this new range two well proven CENTA products have been combined:
• The torsionally and radially soft CENTAX-element, proven more than 50.000 times, established in the market for 15 years.
• The torsionally stiff, but axially and angularly aligning CENTAFLEX-K series coupling. 250.000 times proven in harsh applications for more than 16 years.
This clever combination provides a coupling system that offers all necessary misalignment and damping features in a compact, competitive design. The CF-K-element allows for plug-in – so called blind fitting – of the coupling in bell housings. The elastomer of the CENTAX element is normally made of high grade natural rubber, resulting in linear characteristics. For high temperature applications Silicone elastomer is also available resulting in moderate progressive characteristics.
Flywheel dimensions to SAE J620 or with special flan-ges. The hubs can be tailored to all needs: finished bore with keyway, or with splines and wearfree CENTALOC clamping device etc. The CENTAX-K range comprises 5 sizes for the SAE range 11½ and 14 and the torque range from 1.1 to 6 kNm.
