CENTA
CENTA – Global Leader in Premium Flexible Couplings
CENTA (Centa Power Transmission, formerly Centa Antriebe Kirschey GmbH) is a German-based manufacturer of highly engineered flexible couplings and shaft-line systems. Established in 1970 and headquartered in Haan, Germany, CENTA has built a reputation for expertise in torsional vibration damping, OEM-grade quality, and engine-driven driveline systems.
In 2018, CENTA joined the Rexnord Corporation (Process & Motion Control division), expanding its reach across global industrial markets. Further growth followed through the Regal and Rexnord merger, forming Regal Rexnord Corporation in 2021 — cementing CENTA’s place within a global portfolio of mechanical power transmission leaders.
Product Range & Innovation Leadership
CENTA offers a wide range of precision-engineered products, including:
- CENTAMAX® – Flexible, torsionally soft couplings for engines, gensets, and heavy-duty applications
- CENTAFLEX® – Elastic coupling elements (A, K series) for various driveline configurations
- CENTAX®, CENTADISC®, CENTALINK® – Membrane, disc, and link-type couplings optimized for misalignment compensation and compact spacing requirements
These product lines are developed in collaboration with OEMs and powered by in-depth TVA (Torsional Vibration Analysis) — ensuring the coupling fits precisely into the drivetrain’s dynamic profile.
Why CENTA Stands Out: Originality, Engineering, and Reliability
- Creative engineering tools: CENTA actively collaborates with engine and machinery manufacturers to design custom coupling solutions, not just off-the-shelf parts.
- High-quality craftsmanship: German-made components, precision-molded elastomers, and rigid QA protocols.
- OEM-grade performance: Stable Shore hardness, fitment accuracy, and fail-safe design backed by certificates like D.B.P. – 2019608 / JAP.Pat. – 778322.
- Global support network: With over 60 agencies and 10 subsidiaries, CENTA delivers worldwide service and parts access.
Applications – Trusted Across Sectors
CENTA couplings are specified across key heavy industries, including:
- Diesel engine drives in marine propulsion, power generation, rail, and off-road machinery
- Hybrid drivetrains in electric powerplants
- Industrial pumps, compressors, and conveyor systems
- Highly demanding roadbuilding equipment, drilling rigs, and mining machinery
