As a reaction to an increased demand by engine manufacturers for compact and economic couplings for leisure time activities, CENTA has expanded its CENTAFLEX-R series by another highly flexible design. The CENTAFLEX-RSD roller coupling with a progressive characteristic is designed specifically for diesel-driven Z-drives and shows only minor stiffness under small loads. Torsional vibrations are then shifted to ranges below idle speed. The stiffness of the coupling gently adapts as the load increases. Hence, rattling noises and coupling shocks are effectively suppressed and comfort aboard is significantly increased.
Besides low weight and high flexibility, users of the new CENTAFLEX-RSD will enjoy cost benefits compared to standard solutions, making the coupling a true alternative for diesel-driven Z-drives. The METS in Amsterdam is the venue for the first presentation of the design. You can meet CENTA in the German Pavilion in Hall 4.
