4 Technical description
4.1 Characteristics
CENTAFLEX-A couplings are proven, extremely simple, versatile and offer good
torsional flexibility.
• Simple, compact smooth-faced design.

• Low weight, low moment of inertia.
• High output, high admissible speeds, large bores permitted, rupture-proof
• Large angle of twist with almost linear curve
(appr. 6-8° at nominal torque).
• High elasticity and considerable flexibility in any direction (radial, axial,
angular) with low counter forces acting on shafts and bearings.
• The CENTAFLEX coupling has a shock and vibration absorbing action.
• Torque transmission is absolutely free of play, uniform, silent and electrically
insulating.
• The coupling is low-maintenance. The rubber parts are not subject to wear,
resulting in a long service life and no generation of dirt (rubber particles).
• The rubber element is air flushed all round, resulting in good dissipation of
the generated heat. The rubber element remains cool.
• By slackening the radial screws, the drive can be conveniently separated and
rotated without dismantling.
• Because of the torque, no axial reaction forces at all are applied to the shaft
and bearings.
• The rubber elements are available in a number of different shore hardnesses.
• This allows the torsional stiffness to be varied within wide limits and so
adjusted to the vibration-specific requirements.
• Material: Normal version: Natural rubber, capable of withstanding dynamic
loads and temperature resistant.
4.2 Specifications
The specifications can be found in the catalogue and the dimensions in the
installation drawing.
