About us

Founded
in 1979, Centa Transmissions, is a specialist in the design, specification and
manufacture of mechanical power transmissions for all types of industrial,
plant and marine applications and supplies flexible couplings, gears,
gearboxes, brakes and bespoke engineered drives to any specification and for
any application.

Today,
Centa is at the forefront of drive technology, having solved countless drive
problems for international and UK manufacturing businesses. Their reputation is
built on the ability to solve problems, often specifying a combination of
products that, as well as flexible couplings, include precision gears,
gearboxes, electromagnetic clutches and speed reducers. Centa has also
developed their highly successful and ultra-lightweight yet super-strong carbon
fibre composite shafts for long reach drive applications and these are capable
of covering spans or depths of over 10 metres without intermediate bearing
support.

Centa power transmission
components have a proven capacity to cope with all forms of drive misalignment
and the security of sealed housings increases reliability whilst reducing the
need for maintenance. This means that Centa provides a superb resolution to
noise, vibration and misalignment problems for both designers and plant
manufacturers.

Centa is also heavily
involved in the renewable energy sector, working with research associations and
specialist manufacturers to create mechanical power transmission drives for
wind, wave, tidal and solar energy. With long-time involvement in supplying
products for use in power generation, Centa is ideally placed to ensure that
these environmentally friendly systems benefit from reliable and trouble-free
drives, often in submerged or other hard to reach locations that demand robust,
totally sealed, maintenance-free operation.
