By Jennifer Shuttleworth To minimize harmful reaction forces while tolerating high temperatures, CENTA Corp. has developed a new series of couplings to optimize diesel-driven construction machinery. CENTAFLEX-KF, with a torque range of up to 800 N·m (590 lb·ft), excels with high torsional stiffness, yet provides radial flexibility. The special elastomer material also is suitable for […]

Centa’s Quality Assurance Excels
CENTA is the first company worldwide to which Germanischer Lloyd (GL) has conferred the responsibility for alternative product certification of type-approved couplings. In the future, CENTA will have the authority to carry out acceptance testing and final stamping of those couplings that have previously been classified as approved types. These tests must be performed in […]
Slip Systems for Wind Turbine Generator Protection
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 […]
