Engines have evolved to run at lower idling speeds, and while this allows for reduced CO2 emissions and increased efficiency, it also causes an increase in torsional vibration. This pain point creates the need for a coupling that can absorb the increase in vibration without overheating. The new CENTAFLEX®-TIR coupling is an innovative solution to this issue, featuring a patented dual-stage roller design that effectively absorbs vibrations without overheating. This innovation not only cuts down on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, but also extends the lifespan of machinery.
The CENTAFLEX®-TIR allows for the downsizing of system components, which translates into cost savings and enhanced system efficiency. Its ability to maintain high performance at lower RPMs without sacrificing fuel efficiency makes it a preferred option for companies aiming to boost operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. The benefits of the CENTAFLEX®-TIR have already been seen by crane manufacturer, Tadano®, who is estimated to achieve significant annual savings and reduce their CO2 emissions after installing the coupling on one of their large lattice boom crawler cranes.
