Centa Centaflex AGM Double Flexible Propeller Shaft Coupling with Thrust Bearing 250–3000 Nm
The Centa Centaflex AGM Double Flexible Propeller Shaft Coupling combines two elastic coupling elements with an integrated thrust bearing for marine propulsion systems. The assembly is designed to transmit torque while accommodating shaft misalignment and absorbing vibrations between the propeller shaft and gearbox.
The double flexible construction incorporates a substantial rubber volume for smoother transmission of torque and propeller thrust. The integrated thrust bearing provides support for axial loads within the shaft assembly.
Centaflex AGM couplings offer a stated noise reduction of approximately 5 dB(A) and provide electrical isolation to help protect against electrolysis. Mechanical fail-safe protection maintains power transmission even if the rubber element completely fails.
The series includes seven models, AGM-016 through AGM-200, with different torque ratings and maximum rotational speeds.
Key Features
- Double flexible construction: Two elastic coupling elements for vibration absorption and flexible torque transmission.
- Integrated thrust bearing: Provides axial load support within the propulsion shaft assembly.
- Vibration damping: Rubber elements absorb vibrations between the propeller shaft and gearbox.
- Noise reduction: Approximately 5 dB(A).
- Angular misalignment: Maximum allowable misalignment of 2 × 3°.
- Mechanical fail-safe protection: Maintains power transmission in the event of complete rubber element failure.
- Electrical isolation: Helps protect the propulsion system against electrolysis.
- Seven models: Different torque capacities for commercial vessels and pleasure craft.
- Flexible shaft connection: Robust clamping arrangement on the cylindrical propeller shaft end.

Double Flexible Coupling and Thrust Bearing
The Centaflex AGM assembly uses two flexible rubber coupling elements in combination with a thrust bearing. The arrangement provides elastic torque transmission while supporting axial loads from the propeller shaft.
The double coupling construction accommodates angular displacement between connected shaft components. The maximum specified angular misalignment is 2 × 3°.
The rubber elements absorb vibrations, helping reduce the transmission of noise and mechanical loads through the propulsion system.
Torque Ratings and Model Selection
The Centaflex AGM range offers different maximum torque ratings for commercial and pleasure craft operation. The appropriate model must be selected according to the required operating torque and rotational speed.
- AGM-016: Up to 250 Nm pleasure craft torque, 3000 RPM.
- AGM-025: Up to 375 Nm pleasure craft torque, 2500 RPM.
- AGM-030: Up to 625 Nm pleasure craft torque, 2000 RPM.
- AGM-050: Up to 870 Nm pleasure craft torque, 2000 RPM.
- AGM-080: Up to 1125 Nm pleasure craft torque, 2000 RPM.
- AGM-140: Up to 1875 Nm pleasure craft torque, 1500 RPM.
- AGM-200: Up to 3000 Nm pleasure craft torque, 1500 RPM.
Installation and Technical Dimensions
The Centaflex AGM coupling is designed for installation between marine propulsion components using a clamping connection to the cylindrical propeller shaft end.
The installation must account for the selected model's overall dimensions, thrust bearing arrangement, gearbox connection and shaft diameter.
Detailed dimensional specifications are available on request.
Before ordering, specify the gearbox brand and model, gearbox flange mounting pattern, centering diameter and propeller shaft diameter to confirm the appropriate coupling configuration.
