Product catalog summary

Introduction
CENTA is a leading manufacturer of flexible couplings, specializing in solutions for engine test beds. Their products, including the CENTAFLEX and CENTAX series, are used by major engine manufacturers and test bed suppliers for both gasoline and diesel engines.

Product Specifications
The catalogue details various versions of test bed drive shafts suitable for high-speed passenger car engines and small diesel engines. CENTAX elements are available in multiple series, sizes, and torsional stiffness, with torque capacities ranging from 150 to 1200 Nm. These elements can be combined with components like U-Joints, CV-joints, and slip joints to create customized solutions.

Advantages

Low torsional stiffness with series arrangement of elements.
Dynamic torsional stiffness adjustable via shore hardness.
Compensation for axial, radial, and angular misalignments.
High-speed suitability due to precise centering.
Modular system allowing customization in length and mounting dimensions.
Easy assembly with slip joints or plunging CV joints.
Low maintenance and proven reliability.

Technical Data
The document provides detailed technical data, including allowable angular misalignment, nominal and maximum torque, continuous vibratory torque, relative damping, maximum speed, allowable energy loss, and dynamic torsional stiffness for various CENTAX sizes.

Design and Customization
CENTAX elements are designed to provide torsional flexibility, with other misalignments compensated by CV or UJB joints. Customization options include DIN or SAE flanges, with technical data required for application layout.

Dimensions
Detailed dimensions for various CENTAX sizes are provided, including nominal torque, and dimensions for CV and UJB joints.

Global Presence
CENTA operates globally with subsidiaries in 10 major industrial countries and agencies in 25 others, offering worldwide after-sales service.
