Centa Transmissions launches new CENTAWAVE coupling for testing wind turbine drives

Mechanical power transmissions experts, Centa Transmissions, have launched a unique flexible coupling designed for testing systems before they are installed or constructed.

‘CENTAWAVE’ is a torsionally stiff and homokinetic link coupling that facilitates for angular misalignments of up to 12 degrees and torques from three to 20,000 kNm. (Read More)

Explains Michael Sykes, manager of Centa’s Gear and Renewables and special projects: “CENTAWAVE will primarily be used to test wind turbine drives and offshore renewable products. It will also be extremely suitable for many test rig applications, from petrol/diesel engines to marine gearboxes and anything in between.

“Manufacturers will build a complete wind turbine and test to see if it works or not. If it doesn’t, it has to be stripped back and rebuilt which costs both time and money. “

Centa Transmissions will be exhibiting its ATEX Approved flexible couplings, electromagnetic clutches, gears and other mechanical drive products for simple or complex problem solving in all types of marine and offshore applications at Offshore Energy, stand 4E80.
