CENTA drives: Couplings from CENTA \/ Rexnord as a solution for different industries<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When it comes to Couplings, CENTA Antriebe Kirschey GmbH is an absolute specialist. CENTA’s global portfolio includes both torsionally flexible and torsionally rigid couplings. Each individual Coupling is responsible for transmitting the power of the motor to the gearbox. Both simple and complex systems can be reliably set in motion. <\/p>

As every sector (rail, industry, marine, power generation …) and every machine is different, different (Coupling) solutions are required. CENTA offers its customers different coupling models for this purpose. With the help of a differentiation between torsionally flexible and torsionally rigid couplings, this article provides an initial overview of the wide-ranging portfolio of CENTA coupling series. <\/p><\/div>

CENTA drives: Torsionally flexible Couplings from CENTA \/ Rexnord<\/h2>

Flexible and highly flexible Couplings from CENTA \/ Rexnord<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Customers rightly have high expectations of the reliability and productivity of their vehicles and systems. In addition, short downtimes need to be combined with the lowest possible total cost of ownership at all times. This is a major challenge, especially for torsional vibration-excited drivetrains. <\/p>

The company CENTA<\/span><\/strong> offers a clear solution with its torsionally flexible couplings for customers who want to reduce critical torsional vibration amplitudes. Torsionally flexible couplings are used for this purpose, which dampen torque surges. When using these coupling solutions, the system runs almost smoothly, which also significantly reduces the total cost of ownership. In addition, the use of suitable material has a positive effect on the service life of the drive components, the Coupling and the entire system. <\/p>

Torsionally flexible Couplings compensate for shaft misalignment by deforming a spring body, which usually consists of an elastomer part (rubber element). The elastomer part is available in different Shore hardnesses and shapes and is selected according to the specific application. <\/p>

Highly flexible Couplings have a particularly large-volume spring body. Compared to flexible couplings, they have a very low stiffness. The torque is sent through the couplings with a very large phase offset so that a large shaft offset can be compensated for as best as possible. <\/p>

Flexible Coupling using the example of the CENTAFLEX-A<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

The CENTAFLEX-A<\/a> is a flexible Coupling from CENTA. Due to its wide range of applications and maximum design flexibility, it is widely used. The CENTAFLEX-A can be used in various industries and dampens torsional vibrations and shocks. Displacements in axial, radial and angular directions are also reliably compensated. <\/p>

But it’s not just the CENTAFLEX-A that impresses with its elastic properties; other couplings also ensure reliable torque transmission and are masters at damping torsional vibrations.<\/p>

CENTA<\/a> ‘s portfolio includes a variety of flexible and highly flexible couplings, so there is a suitable coupling solution for every industry and every application. Feel free to browse through the following picture gallery for torsionally flexible couplings from CENT <\/p><\/div>

Rigid Coupling from CENTA \/ Rexnord<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Torsionally rigid couplings transmit the torque through the coupling without phase offset and only minimally compensate for shaft misalignments. Rigid couplings therefore have little flexibility, meaning that the optimum coupling for your application must be aligned at all times. Have the condition of your Coupling checked by means of regular alignment checks and actively counteract unwanted wear and stress. <\/p>

When optimally aligned, rigid couplings enable maximum torques and speeds. In simple drives, torsionally rigid couplings also score points with low maintenance and high cost efficiency. <\/p>

Torsionally rigid Coupling using the example of CENTAFLEX-K<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

The CENTAFLEX-K belongs to the family of torsionally rigid Couplings. It is characterized by a robust combination of materials and is extremely durable. The CENTAFLEX-K is a relatively short design that can be optimally adapted even in confined spaces. The CENTAFLEX-K is particularly popular in construction machinery with hydrostatic drives. In mobile machines such as excavators, cranes or rollers, the hydrostatic drive combines high performance with a small size. <\/p>
