Product Overview
New technology and efficiency goals require a new kind of coupling to tackle their novel challenges. The CENTAFLEX-TIR is designed with soft progressive characteristics and has high allowable power loss allowing for reduced idling speeds and a higher thermal load capacity at high alternating loads, characteristics which make it ideal for next-generation stage V engines. The benefits of this first-of-its-kind coupling? Lower fuel consumption, reduced CO2 emissions, less gear chatter, and the ability to downsize system components, such as the splitter gearbox.
When CENTAFLEX-TIR was used in a mobile crane application by global crane manufacturer, Tadano, they experienced incredible results. They were able to reduce idling speeds from 750 rpm to 650 rpm, resulting in significant fuel savings and CO2 emission reductions. The company estimated a decrease in diesel consumption of .7 liters (.18 gallons) per hour. With two engines on their crane, it is estimated that Tadano will save up to 1092 liters (288 gallons) of diesel per year, which equates to an annual savings of up to 1750 euros ($1,900). Finally, it is estimated that the Tadano crane utilizing the CENTAFLEX-TIR coupling will see a reduction in CO2 emissions at a rate of 2.89 kg (6.37 lbs) per year.
