Centa Antriebe GmbH is one of the leading producers of torsional damping couplings for diesel engine drives and is the worlds number two supplier of these products for marine propulsion and auxiliary drives.

The Centaflex range of marine flexible couplings help eliminate propshaft-transmitted noise, cushion torsional stress and shock loads for any engine.

For quietness in a boat use CENTA highly flexible couplings with damping, which as a first step allow the use of flexible mountings for the engine. However this is normally not sufficient as a large part of the noise and vibration is passed into the body of the boat through the gear and the rigid coupling between the gear and the propeller shaft. Placing a CENTA highly flexible coupling between the gear and propeller shaft will complete the reduction of noise and vibration. The noise reduction achieved will be up to 5 dBA, that means a reduction of up to a third.

For all things Centaflex...
