Centaflex A Size 90 – Reliable Coupling for Railway Powerpacks, Industrial Drives, and Gensets

The Centaflex A Size 90 is a highly robust and versatile elastic coupling designed for medium-duty industrial and mobile applications. Its torsionally soft construction ensures vibration damping, precise torque transfer, and misalignment compensation—all critical features in demanding environments such as railway machinery, diesel generators, and stationary pumps.

Notably, silicone versions of CF-A-90 are widely used in powerpacks for railway maintenance and track construction vehicles, where electrical insulation and thermal performance are essential.

A Trusted Choice in Railway Powerpacks

Railway service machines require low-vibration, high-reliability couplings that can perform in compact enclosures, under fluctuating thermal loads. The Centaflex A Size 90 with silicone is a preferred solution across Europe for:

  • Powerpack drive systems
  • Hydrostatic transmissions
  • Compact diesel-electric auxiliary units
  • Battery-diesel hybrid equipment

Its high thermal resistance (up to +120 °C) and insulation properties make the silicone CF-A-90 ideal for enclosed rail-mounted applications.

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.

Silicone elements are particularly recommended when elevated temperatures or electrical insulation is critical—especially in railway and hybrid systems.

📌 Clarification: D.B.P. – 2019608 and JAP.Pat. – 778322

If your old coupling is marked with D.B.P. – 2019608 or JAP.Pat. – 778322, please note that these are international patent numbers, not product codes. They confirm the component is a genuine CENTA original, but do not specify the exact model.

For precise identification, check:

  • Element size and Shore rating
  • Type code (0 or 0–S)
  • A photo of your current setup
