The following influences need to be considered if the torsional stiffness is required for
other operating modes:
• Temperature
Higher temperature reduces the dynamic torsional stiffness.
Temperature factor St CTdyn has to be taken into consideration in the calculation.
• Frequency of vibration
Higher frequencies increase the torsional stiffness.
By experience the dynamic torsional stiffness is 30% higher than the static stiff-
ness. CENTA keeps record of exact parameters.
• Amplitude of vibratory torque
Higher amplitudes reduce the torsional stiffness, therefore small amplitudes result
in higher dynamic stiffness. CENTA keeps record of exact parameters.

1. This catalog supersedes previous editions.

This catalog shows the extent of our CENTAX®-SEC coupling range at the time of printing. This program is still being extended
with further sizes and series. Any changes due to technological progress are reserved.
We reserve the right to amend any dimensions or detail specified or illustrated in this publication without notice and without in-
curring any obligation to provide such modification to such couplings previously delivered. Please ask for an application drawing
and current data before making a detailed coupling selection.

2. We would like to draw your attention to the need of preventing accidents or injury. No safety guards are included in our supply.

3. TRADEMARKS
CENTA, the CENTA logo, Centacone, CENTADISC, CENTAFIT, Centaflex, CENTALINK, Centalock, Centaloc, Centamax, Centastart,
CENTAX and HYFLEX are registered trademarks of CENTA Antriebe Kirschey GmbH in Germany and other countries.
Other product and company names mentioned herein may be trademarks of their respective companies.

4. Torsional responsibility
The responsibility for ensuring the torsional vibration compatibility of the complete drive train, rests with the final assembler. As
a component supplier CENTA is not responsible for such calculations, and cannot accept any liability for gear noise/ -damage or
coupling damage caused by torsional vibrations.
CENTA recommends that a torsional vibration analysis (TVA) is carried out on the complete drive train prior to start up of the ma-
chinery. In general torsional vibration analysis can be undertaken by engine manufacturers, consultants or classicfication socie-
ties. CENTA can assist with such calculations using broad experience in coupling applications and torsional vibration analysis.
5. Copyright to this technical dokument is held by CENTA Antriebe Kirschey GmbH.

6. The dimensions on the flywheel side of the couplings are based on the specifications given by the purchaser. The responsibility
for ensuring dimensional compatibility rests with the assembler of the drive train. CENTA cannot accept liability for interference
between the coupling and the flywheel or gearbox or for damage caused by such interference.

7. All technical data in this catalog are according to the metric SI system. All dimensions are in mm. All hub dimensions (N, N1 and
N2) may vary, depending on the required finished bore. All dimensions for masses (m), inertias (J) and centres of gravity (S) re-
fer to the maximum bore diameter.

couplings for rail, industrial, marine and
power generating applications. Worldwide.
