CENTA Corporation Announces “Split CENTAFLEX-­AR Rubber Element” for quick and easy flexible coupling maintenance

CENTA Corporation has introduced the latest innovation of the company’s industry standard CENTAFLEX Series A rubber-in-compression flexible coupling. The newly released “Series AR” Element design incorporates a patented split through one of the axial aluminum inserts, enabling the end-user to quickly install a replacement coupling element without the need to disturb the mounting or alignment of the driver and driven components.

The patented design wraps radially around the existing hubs and bolts in place with existing coupling hardware. Available in Sizes 025 thru 600, the new element allows for simple radial exchange of coupling element for any close coupled system through approximately 2000 HP at 1750 RPM rating –70,800 Lb-in nominal torque.

CENTA’s maintenance free, non-lubricated coupling has been used successfully in millions of installations over the past 35+ years. The patented split element further enhances the couplings benefits of increased misalignment capacity, low bearing/shaft reaction forces, vibration and noise damping, easy installation – and now quick and easy maintenance.
