Bellows couplings for robotics

February 19, 2025 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ruland-bellows-couplings

Bellows couplings for robotics Ruland bellows couplings are ideal for precision motion in robotic applications due to their zero-backlash design, high torque and torsional stiffness, and various styles that ensure accurate movement and smooth operation. They are commonly used in industrial, medical, and autonomous robotic systems requiring high speed and accuracy. Ruland bellows couplings are […]

New bellows couplings from Ruland with increased misalignment capabilities

Ruland Manufacturing continues to expand its motion control coupling product line by introducing bellows couplings with increased misalignment capabilities. These new bellows couplings complement Ruland’s existing high-stiffness line by offering equivalent torque with greater misalignment flexibility. Ruland’s bellows couplings are lightweight, have low inertia, and can reach speeds up to 10,000 rpm due to the […]

GAM: Quick Reference — servo couplings, bellows vs elastomer

November 28, 2023 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

GAM bellows coupling

Elastomer? Bellows? What is the best coupling technology for your motion control application? Each has its advantages from torsional stiffness to vibration dampening. A quick comparison of features and advantages can point to the best solution. Servo Coupling Design There are two basic types of servo couplings: bellows and elastomer. Both provide zero backlash, low […]

SDP/SI precision flexible helical couplings

May 16, 2023 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

SDP/SI-helical-couplings product image

SDP/SI Helical Couplings, or beam couplings, are another type of flexible coupling allowing for axial motion, angular misalignment, and parallel offset. This coupling design features one-piece construction resulting in zero backlash. The coupling is made flexible by removing material from the piece in a spiral pattern. SDP/SI Helical Couplings are available in aluminum and stainless […]
