Torsionally soft and stiff couplings for marine propulsion systems.
CENTAFLEX-A
Highly flexible coupling for a wide range of applications. For a maximum of design variants. Based on a highly elastic rubber element subject only to compressive stress. Extremely high-performing design with high torsional elasticity. Dampens torsional vibrations and shocks and compensates considerable axial, radial and angular misalignments. Electrically insulating and thermally resistant in silicon design. For rupture-proof and backlash-free transmission of high torques. Available as axially blind fitting design with radial mountability. Rubber element available as split element for quick replacement. Easy handling and mountable with minimum effort. In various lengths adaptable to the installation requirements if applied as homokinetic shaft. Also available as carbon-fibre or glass-fibre designs.
CENTAFLEX MAX
Robust coupling with high torsional flexibility, especially for independently mounted gensets. For backlash-free transmission of medium torques. Backlash-free torque transmission via a steel flange onto a precompressed rubber element. Extremly fail-safe and low-wear design for transmission of medium torques. Characterised by high torsional flexibility with linear characteristic. Dampens torsional vibrations and shocks and compensates axial and angular misalignments. Economic design effectively ventilated and with high allowable energy loss. Blind assembly for minimum mounting effort. Easy radial replacement and maintainable design. With flywheel connections acc. to SAE. Also available for non-standard flywheels and as shaft-to-shaft connection.
CENTAFLEX-K/KE
Compactly dimensioned coupling with high torsional stiffness. For resonance-free operation. Material combination of steel and highly shock-resistant glass-fibre reinforced plastic. Highly robust and short design with high torsional stiffness for fail-safe transmission of small to medium operation ranges. Enables optimum design adaptation to existing space requirements. Extremely durable and economical. Oil-resistant and suitable for high ambient temperatures. Blind assembly for minimum mounting effort.

Available as homokinetic drive shaft in any length required by the installation. Axial blind assembly for minimum mounting effort.
CENTAFLEX-B
Flexible shaft coupling in economical design. For maximum application flexibility. Extremely robust and fail-safe jaw-type design with elastomer element subjected only to compressive stress. Characterised by intermediate torsional stiffness with progressive characteristic. Dampens torsional vibrations and shocks and compensates axial, radial and angular misalignments. Many design variants and economical design. Oil-resistant and also available in thermally resistant design. As drive shaft available in any length required by the installation requirements. Delivered preassembled. Axial or radial mounting with minimum effort. CENTALOC clamping or taper lock bushes optionally available to prevent wear and frictional corrosion on not backlash-free hub to shaft connections.
CENTA FLEX AGM/ACV ORAZ CENTA FLEX M/AM
Highly flexible coupling for the connection of gear and propeller shaft. For applications with limited mounting space. Backlash-free transmission of torque and propeller thrust via highly flexible rubber element. Specially designed to reduce noise and vibrations under confined space requirements. Dampens torsional vibrations and shocks, interrupts structure-borne noise and compensates axial, radial and angular misalignments. Additionally offers a high degree of electrical insulation. Mounted with minimum effort by means of a clamping hub. Delivered with fail-safe device and ready to install. Further handling, maintenance and cost benefits by omitting additional components, such as spacers.
CENTAFLEX-D
Flexible flange coupling with progressive characteristic. For use in heavy duty applications. Extremely robust and fail-safe jaw-type construction with elastomeric buffers subjected only to compressive stress. Features medium torsional stiffness with progressive characteristic. Developed for a resonance-free operation of diesel-driven powertrains, particularly generators. Dampens torsional vibrations and shocks and compensates axial, radial and angular misalignments. Reliable and rupture-proof, in an especially short and economical design. Blind assembly for minimum mounting effort. With flywheel connections acc. to SAE. Also available for non-standard flywheels.
CENTAX
Torsionally stiff coupling with high power density. For applications under extreme conditions. Based on a flexible element of heavy duty plastics with pressed-in steel bushes.

Based on a flexible element of heavy duty elastomer with built-in aluminium or steel bushes. Especially powerful and compactly dimensioned design with high torsional stiffness. Dampens torsional vibrations and shocks and compensates high axial as well as moderate radial and angular misalignments. At the same time very durable and economical. Oil-resistant and suitable for extremely high temperatures. Blind assembly for minimum mounting effort. Available with CENTALOC clamping hub with flywheel connections acc. to SAE. Also available for non-standard flywheels.
Intermediate driveshafts and composite shaft systems.
CENTA-Shaft Alignment
The alignment of the shafts is necessary at setting them in such a way that the position deviations do not exceed the permissible values, which plays a key role in the proper operation of all industrial machinery. Correct equipment setup increases the life and productivity of machines, along with saving money – by extending the life of bearings, seals and minimizing the risk of major failures. IOW TRADE offers accurate and modern shaft alignment service through a dual laser system.
