What Is Centaflex A Type 0–S? – Flexible Mounting with Axial Movement
Why Choose Type 0–S?
- Your equipment operates in fluctuating temperatures or mobile environments.
- You need to reduce stress on the shaft connection.
- Faster or easier installation/removal is important (e.g., confined engine rooms).
- The coupling may need to float or accommodate slight axial movement.
Where It’s Used:
- Marine drives (where space and thermal shift are common).
- Wind turbine nacelles and shaft lines.
- Railway powerpacks.
- Gensets mounted in mobile or containerized setups.
- Applications where frequent maintenance access is required.
Type 0–S Benefits:
- Easier to service in tight installations.
- Better tolerance to shaft misalignment over time.
- Ideal for systems with thermal elongation.
- Widely used in OEM configurations for mobile and energy-sector equipment.
- Available in all standard CENTAFLEX A sizes and Shore hardness levels (50 / 60).
