It was mooted some time ago on TM that the Centa compensator would have a finite life and the question was asked whether the MMC had given service/inspection intervals and how easy/difficult it would be to inspect and change the rubber inserts.

No one seemed particularly interested at the time.

This type of drive is commonly used between prime movers and pumps etc. The load in these cases being rather more constant, and unidirectional than in a vehicle, which may be a factor in their longevity.

The rubber buffers are not for life and are a consumable item.
