CENTA®-FH Extract of CENTAX-V-catalog

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document is a technical catalog for the CENTA-FH flange bearing, which is part of the CENTAX-V series. It focuses on power transmission solutions, particularly for applications involving cardan shafts and diesel engines.

Specifications: The CENTA-FH flange bearing is designed to protect diesel engine crankshafts from axial and radial reaction forces generated by cardan shafts. It is recommended for use when cardan shaft angles exceed 3 to 4 degrees. The flange bearing housing is made from hardened aluminum, offering a compact and lightweight design with high-capacity bearings and long-term lubrication for minimal maintenance.

Procedures and Recommendations: The document suggests using the CENTA-FH flange bearing in conjunction with highly flexible couplings like CenTamax or CenTaFLex-R to dampen torsional vibrations. This setup helps in tuning the system for optimal torsional vibration management while keeping reaction forces away from the crankshaft.

Technical Data: The catalog provides detailed dimensions for housing, flywheel, and cardan flange components, including partition bore holes and thread specifications. It also includes order codes and dynamic torsional stiffness values for various configurations.

Advantages: Key benefits of the CENTA-FH flange bearing include protection of the crankshaft, optimal torsional vibration tuning, robust and durable bearings, compact design, and effective internal ventilation to reduce ambient temperature around the coupling.

Company Information: CENTA is a leading producer of flexible couplings with a global presence, including subsidiaries in 10 major industrial countries and agencies in 25 others. The company has installed over 15 million couplings worldwide since 1970.

Every cardan shaft creates axial and radial reaction forces. The amount depends - among other reasons - on the transmitted torque and the operating angle. Under considerable operating angle these forces can become dangerous to the crankshaft of the diesel engines. Bekanntlich geben Kardanwellen axiale und radiale Reaktionskräfte ab. Diese sind u.a. abhängig vom übertragenen Drehmoment und von dem Beugungswinkel. Bei größerem Beugungswinkel können diese Kräfte so beträchtlich werden, daß die Lagerung der Kurbelwelle und des Dieselmotors gefährdet ist. Intermediate coupling types like the CENTAX-V...
