Centaflex A Size 50 – High-Demand Flexible Coupling for Diesel Engines, Pumps, and Gensets
The Centaflex A Size 50 is one of the most widely used flexible couplings across multiple industries. Designed for torsional vibration damping, misalignment compensation, and reliable torque transmission, it’s a go-to solution for diesel engine drives, power take-offs, generators, compressors, and more.
Whether you’re replacing a worn element or designing a new system, the CF-A-50 offers proven performance, fast availability, and OEM quality trusted worldwide.
What Is the Centaflex A Size 50?
The Centaflex 50 coupling is a torsionally soft elastic element made from high-grade natural rubber. It protects machines from torque spikes, resonance, and misalignment stresses. Available in both Type 0 and Type 0–S, it fits a wide range of flywheel-driven or shaft-connected applications.
With a nominal torque rating of 0.7 kNm, the CF-A-50 is built to work hard—and last.
🔑 Common Applications
- Diesel and gas engine drives
- Generators and gensets
- Hydraulic power units (HPUs)
- Industrial compressors and vacuum pumps
- Agricultural PTO shafts and power packs
- Marine auxiliary systems
- Mechanical engineering test benches
This size is also frequently specified by OEMs as standard for engines between 20–70 kW.

Shore Hardness: Why You Must Match the Original
Centaflex A couplings are not generic rubber parts. Each Shore hardness—50 or 60—has a very specific dynamic behavior, directly affecting torsional stiffness, resonance characteristics, and system lifespan.
Replacing a worn element with the wrong Shore hardness can lead to premature failure, noise, or torsional resonance.
Always match the original Shore value (usually marked on the coupling or machine documentation). These elements are often selected during OEM design together with TVA (Torsional Vibration Analysis) and machine-specific calculations.
📌 About D.B.P. – 2019608 and JAP.Pat. – 778322
If your old element is stamped with D.B.P. – 2019608 or JAP.Pat. – 778322, these are international patent numbers, not product codes. They confirm your element is an authentic Centaflex A, but do not indicate size or type.
To identify your replacement element, check:
- Size marking (e.g. CF-A-050)
- Type (0 or 0–S)
- Shore hardness (usually 50 or 60)
- A photo of the old element or machine tag
