by William Hewitson, Vice President of Manufacturing and Engineering, Ruland Manufacturing Co., Inc The keys to avoiding coupling failure are correct coupling selection using all application design criteria,…
Ruland manufactures a variety of components including oldham couplings and beam couplings. While both coupling types are backlash-free and feature misalignment capabilities, small performance differences make the choice of coupling critical depending on application parameters.
Victaulic now offers a new line of products for joining standard shouldered steel pipe. The product line features the Style SC77, a flexible coupling featuring Victaulic patented installation-ready…
Physical values such as torque, torsional rigidity, spring stiffness, moment of inertia, imbalance, and zero-backlash play a major role in coupling design. Here are a few facts to…
