Ruland offers zero backlash jaw couplings for the demanding requirements of start and stop machine vision systems used in industries such as semiconductor, medical, solar, and packaging. The dampening characteristics of Ruland’s jaw couplings reduce settling time and shock loads, making them ideal for these environments. Jaw couplings are a three piece design comprised of […]

A Novel Way To Use Jaw Couplings In Extreme Temperatures
The German couplings specialist, KTR, has come up with a novel way to use jaw couplings in temperatures too high for the elastomer materials conventionally used for coupling spiders. It has developed a spider made from “knitted” steel wire, similar to the steel wool used to clean pots and pans. Standard spiders are made from […]
New Jaw Couplings Have Zero Backlash
Zero backlash jaw couplings that are three piece couplings comprised of two hubs and a plastic element are one of Ruland Manufacturing’s new products in their coupling line. The Spider, shown below, made of an advanced polyurethane material, provides dampening of impulse loads, minimizing shock to the motor and other sensitive equipment. Available in two […]
Miniature Rigid Couplings Bore Size Down to 3mm
Ruland now offers miniature rigid couplings with bore sizes as small as 3 mm. Miniature rigid couplings are suitable for micro component applications where misalignment is neither present nor desired, including connecting line-shafts, attaching a motor to a gearbox, and servo applications. Offering high torque capacity, stiffness and zero backlash, Ruland’s rigid couplings are increasingly […]
Tips to simplify coupling selection
For a coupling in a servo application to work properly, you need to satisfy a number of application factors including: torque, shaft misalignment, stiffness, speed, and space requirements. Here’s a look at the available types of servo couplings and what you need to consider for each of them during the selection process. Beam couplings Beam […]
Stainless Steel Servo Insert Coupings
Bensenville, IL – Stainless steel SERVOMAX couplings from R+W feature a highly chemically resistant elastomer element that is press fit between two precision machined coupling halves, giving it zero backlash and guaranteed concentricity. The inserts, available in four different Shore hardnesses, depending on the damping and torque rigidity required, are heat treated within the precision […]
Huco Tools Assist Coupling Selection for Design Engineers
Huco Dynatork, an Altra Industrial Motion company, offers the worlds most comprehensive range of small precision couplings from a single manufacturer. Huco’s precision couplings are ideal for use in high-end servo drives, pulse generators, scanners, X-Y positioning slides, high speed dynamometers, measuring instruments, robotics, machine tools and in many other applications where specific dimensional or performance […]
TOOLFLEX Metal Bellow-Type Coupling
Compact coupling design is required more frequently by customers in order to realize high performance with a narrow mounting space. In order to meet these requirements, KTR’s backlash-free ROTEX GS jaw-type coupling has already been added to their product range as a compact design. Now the range of the torsionally stiff TOOLFLEX metal bellow-type coupling […]
