Centaflex couplings | Awelta Wind Energy

AWELTA Wind – Centaflex couplings

Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity and plays a crucial role in global efforts to combat climate change. Its benefits:

• Renewable and sustainable energy source.
• Reduces carbon footprint.
• Low operating costs after initial investment.

Modern wind turbines usually use components like:

Rotor Blades: Capture wind energy.

Nacelle: Houses the gearbox, generator, and control system. This control system with various sensors ensures direction of nacelle to catch efficient amount of available wind.

Tower: Provides the necessary height to capture stronger winds.

Foundation: Anchors the turbine to the ground.

Flexible couplings – parts in which Awelta team is strong and experienced – are also used in the wind turbine. Usually, these flexible couplings connect the rotor with the gearbox. For Vestas and General electric turbines often Centaflex A size 250  are used. If we look a bit deeper to all the construction – two Centaflex A elements connected by shaft transmit all wind energy to gearbox. All vibrations, misalignment and torsional energy peaks are absorbed and compensated only by these A type coupling elements. Moreover – too high power from rotor blades will cause failure of the coupling elements, securing gearbox and other more expensive components from damage.

And yes – original Centaflex A elements sometimes fail – usually because of long operation hours or some peak power on the blades. Usually, it fails not at the best time – when the wind is blowing, and business must be running. Each minute is a loss of potential income. At AWELTA we know the price of time. There for Centaflex A size 250 are in stock – always, without any exceptions. Ready to be sent the same day to almost any place in the world.

It is important to note that only original Centa A type elements should be used. Cheaper copies may look similar from the view, but magic is inside. Centa couplings were created in close cooperation with wind turbine producers, it has all necessary calculations and stress tests. Original spare parts are like insurance for smooth and continuous operation, while using fake elements each day is waiting when they will break, and you will have unexpected repair costs and lots of problems.

Nature gives you wind. It would be sad to look to couple hundred euros in your hands, saved by using fake elements, and see how the wind passes through broken turbine blades.

So, Original Centaflex elements are here – Centaflex A size 250
