CENTAFLEX-K Coupling

CENTAFLEX-K series is a compact two-piece coupling with high torsional stiffness and resonance-free operation. Ideally suited for hydrostatic driven construction equipment, lower-horsepower applications are easily handled by the CENTAFLEX-K. Built from shock-resistant glass-fiber reinforced plastic, the CENTAFLEX-K is highly robust with an axially short design. Durable and economical, the CENTAFLEX-K series is oil-resistant and suited for high ambient temperature applications. The series features blind assembly to minimize mounting effort requirements. Delivered with a preassembled hubstar and flywheel connections according to SAE, the CENTAFLEX-K is available with the CENTALOC spline clamping hub to eliminate fretting corrosion and is also available for non-standard flywheels.

CENTAFLEX-KF

The CENTAFLEX-KF is a cost-efficient, torsionally stiff, lightweight one-piece coupling ideally suited for diesel hydraulic drives with splined input shafts. This coupling is an excellent choice for applications where compensation of radial misalignments of up to 0.7 mm is required. The CENTAFLEX-KF offers temperature resistance up to a short-termed maximum of 120°C (250°F) to address the temperature issues found in sealed machinery. With a high torsional stiffness for subcritical speed operation, the CENTAFLEX-KF features an axially short build, an advantage in flywheel connections. Easy adaptations are available for many flywheel and splined hub connections to ensure the flexibility of your drive. The CENTAFLEX-KF includes a laser machined adapter plate for flywheel connections, a secondary flange of reinforced plastic, and a thin, vulcanized layer of temperature-resistant elastomer. Easy-to-assemble blind mount design keeps assembly costs low.

CENTAFLEX-KE

The CENTAFLEX-KE is a compact, one-piece coupling with a high torsional stiffness. Built for diesel-driven hydrostatic drives with flange mounted pumps and splined input shafts, the CENTAFLEX-KE compensates in applications with radial misalignment. With a flexible element made of high-quality glass-fiber reinforced plastic and elastic rubber-coated bushes on the outer diameter, the highly robust and short design of the CENTAFLEX-KE ensures high performance. The high torsional stiffness protects shafts and bearings from mechanical loads while tolerating moderate radial misalignments. Durable and economical, the CENTAFLEX-KE is oil-resistant and suitable for high ambient temperatures. Available with blind assembly for minimal-effort and low cost mounting, the CENTAFLEX-KE is delivered ready to assemble with flywheel connections according to SAE; also available for non-standard flywheels.
