CENTA produces an enhanced version of its Torque Hub, the slip clutch which offers a simple and low-cost design for torque overload generator protection. In wind power plants, electrical circuit problems are known to cause short-term torque peaks. In this event, slip clutches protect the costly gearbox against overload by slipping at a defined maximum […]

Tips to simplify coupling selection
For a coupling in a servo application to work properly, you need to satisfy a number of application factors including: torque, shaft misalignment, stiffness, speed, and space requirements. Here’s a look at the available types of servo couplings and what you need to consider for each of them during the selection process. Beam couplings Beam […]
Test bed coupling Centax-Test
Growing requirements for performance, emissions, consumption and service life of modern engines are the great challenges facing engine manufacturers today. Investment in research and development has grown considerably. With highly flexible CENTAX-TEST, CENTA provides a suitable test bed coupling for such tasks. Due to its torsionally soft characteristics, vibrations in the drive train are reduced, […]
