CENTAMAX 5000
CENTAMAX 5000 Coupling Elements – OEM NR & Silicone (SC & SCE Types)
The CENTAMAX 5000 is a torsionally flexible OEM coupling element designed by CENTA Germany for heavy-duty diesel engines in marine, roadbuilding, drilling, and industrial power systems. With a nominal torque range of approx. 5,000–6,500 Nm and peaks up to 13,000 Nm, this size is among the most requested CENTAMAX elements worldwide.
Fitment Types
- Type SC (NR or Silicone): Standard OEM fitment with plain bolt-through holes — the most common solution for gensets, compressors, and roadbuilding machinery.
- Type SCE (NR): Alternative OEM fitment with threaded holes, where bolts screw directly into the element. Used in specific engine-driven installations or compact layouts.
Both designs deliver identical torque, stiffness, and damping values — only the mounting method differs, as specified by engine manufacturers.
NR vs. Silicone Options
- Natural Rubber (NR, black color): Available in Shore 50, 60, 70, this version is standard in marine propulsion, diesel gensets, and industrial drives.
- Silicone (Si, bright yellow): Typically supplied as SC fitment, silicone is the OEM choice for high-temperature duty in asphalt pavers, drilling rigs, crushers, and enclosed power units. Silicone resists heat, oil, and ozone while maintaining elasticity at –45 °C to +120 °C.
📩 How to order: If your element is marked CENTAMAX 5000 SC or SCE (NR or Silicone) and matches our product photos, select the correct Shore hardness and order directly. If uncertain, send us a photo, part code, or engine type, and our team will verify the right OEM replacement.
