Rotational coupling for large mills and machinery

Centa Transmissions has unveiled a high performance, low maintenance shaft-to-shaft flexible coupling designed for heavy duty operation in large industrial mills, processing plant and mining machinery. 

Rotational coupling for large mills and machinery

The Centaflex-BL is a highly versatile, maintenance-free and robust rubber roller bearing design, which makes it more cost-effective to install and operate than the steel gear coupling it is designed to replace. Ideal as a maintenance replacement product or as a component for OEMs, Centaflex-BL provides consistent and shock-resistant transmission of torque with a relatively small outer diameter. Its modular design means that the rollers are quick and easy to replace.

Considering its dimensions and cost, the Centaflex-BL will have a positive benefit on any heavy duty plant application where low running costs, reliability and high efficiency are mandatory. As well as overcoming drive misalignment, eliminating the vibration that causes noise and premature wear-and-tear, the CF-BL damps any impacts and sudden overloads, to protect the drive.

Currently, this coupling is available in four sizes, having a torque range of 70kNm to 176kNm. Higher torques up to 600kNm, are presently in development.
