Dual Stage Coupling with Progressive Characteristics

CENTAFLEX-DS is the market leader for dual stage couplings. Recommended by leading manufacturers of diesel engines and marine transmissions, the CENTAFLEX-DS is a top-rated patented design. The CENTAFLEX-DS combines the excellent damping characteristics of a torsionally soft flexible roller coupling under partial-load, with the robustness of a stiffer claw-type coupling under full-load. Under low speeds, the roller acts alone. The CENTAFLEX-DS series couplings are mounted with minimal effort, available for standard and non-standard flywheel connections.

CENTAFLEX-DS Coupling

CENTAFLEX-DS

The CENTAFLEX-DS is a fail-safe design based on years of engineering research and proven components. Intensive testing, torsional vibration calculations, and field application have verified the CENTAFLEX-DS as an unsurpassed duel-stage coupling solution. With silent operation and a compact, reliable, and economic design, the CENTAFLEX-DS is ideal for use in main propulsion drives between diesel engines and flange-mounted gear, auxiliary drives with high idling, and between diesel engines and independently mounted gear if both are rigidly mounted and well-aligned. For smooth, quiet operation at very low idling speeds, and a robust torque transmission at higher speeds, the CENTAFLEX-DS is an ideal solution.
