Centurion: lifetime of clutch doubled to 600 hours

19/12/2011

Press releaseIssued by Continental Aerospace Technologies GmbH (was Technify Motors).

The Centurion Aircraft Engines AG & Co. KG from Lichtenstein/Germany achieved a further milestone in the lifetime extension program for components of their Centurion piston aircraft engines: the lifetime of the clutch's current design level for the diesel engines Centurion 2.0 and Centurion 2.0s has been extended from 300 to 600 hours. For this reason, the exchange of the friction disk after 300 hours is no longer necessary for all Centurion 2.0 and 2.0s which are equipped with the current clutch design. The end customer benefits from this lifetime extension by saving approx. 1000 Euro.
