CENTAMAX 18000 NR Elastic Element – Type SC | Heavy-Duty OEM Coupling for the World’s Most Demanding Drives
CENTAMAX 18000 NR Type SC is the definitive solution for high-torque, high-reliability power transmission in the toughest environments. Engineered for large marine gensets, high-output gas generator systems, heavy construction equipment, and locomotive drives — especially those powered by Caterpillar® engines — this coupling element delivers unmatched vibration damping, torque stability, and operational longevity.
Designed and manufactured to exact OEM CENTA specifications, the CM-18000 SC ensures perfect integration with SAE J620 flywheels and high-capacity drive systems. In critical power and propulsion applications where failure is not an option, this element keeps your operations running — smoothly, quietly, and reliably.
We supply only new, original OEM parts, maintained in ready-to-ship stock for immediate dispatch anywhere in the world.
Technical Specifications (CENTAMAX Size 18000 NR / CM-18000 SC)
- Available Shore Hardness: 50, 60, 70, 72, 75,80
- Nominal Torque (Tₖₙ): ~16,000–24,000 Nm (depending on Shore)
- Maximum Torque (Tₖₘₐₓ): ~32,000–40,000 Nm (depending on Shore)
- Max Speed (nₘₐₓ): 2,000 rpm - 2,300 rpm
- Temperature Range (NR): –45 °C to +80 °C
- Material: Natural Rubber (NR), black color
- Flywheel Standard: SAE J620 – typically SAE 21 or SAE 24 (depending on engine)
- Design: Type SC – Plug-in rubber element with plain hole bolt-through fitment
(Exact torque and fitment details should be confirmed against the OEM technical sheet for your application or based on old rubber elements specifications.)
Fitment Type: SC – Standard Plain Hole Mounting
The Type SC configuration uses plain mounting holes for direct bolt-through installation to the hub or flywheel. This is the most common and OEM-recommended fitment for large-scale power generation and propulsion systems.
