CENTADISC-C – a torsionally stiff light weight membrane coupling for the application in vessels, ferries and in wind energy applications where weight and alignment are of high importance. Two membranes arranged in series and combined with a fibre reinforced tube function as kinematic joint with optimum operating characteristics.
The combination with further CENTA products, cardanshafts, homokinetic joints or couplings on the other shaft end guarantees optimal adaption.
Stiff and lightweight tubes allow high bending speeds thus longer driveshafts are possible with substantially reduced bearings.
Positive fit of all components by standardized, shaft-end toothing between coupling element and tube or power unit. Easy handling and assembly due to modular design and standardization.
