CENTA Carbon Driveshafts

Precision-engineered and lightweight, CENTA Carbon Fiber driveshafts have the strength of steel to stand up to demanding applications found in marine and industrial drives.

Advanced Technology for Marine Propulsion

Skillfully engineered and developed in cooperation with the Technical University of Darmstadt, the CENTA carbon driveshaft is designed for energy-efficient power transmission. Built to accommodate higher speeds and longer shaft lengths, the CENTA carbon driveshaft uses carbon-fiber technology for strength and durability. Carbon fiber is also a cost-effective solution, requiring fewer additional components such as bearings and foundations. Extremely durable and noise-damping, CENTA carbon driveshafts offer low thermal expansion and higher whirling speeds compared to steel equivalents. These are maintenance-free, corrosion-proof driveshafts built to be customized with flexible couplings and connecting elements for an optimal driveshaft solution. Available in many lengths up to 10m (30’) per section.
