Thin line shaft collars for encoders

August 25, 2015 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ruland-collar-on-hollow-shaft-encoder-1200

Encoders often require a custom shaft collar to meet their size and performance requirements. Ruland has designed thin line shaft collars with a narrow profile and reduced weight to meet the requirements of encoder applications in a standard product line. Thin line shaft collars offer encoder manufacturers greater design flexibility than traditional shaft collars. Each […]

Six factors to remember about couplings in a motion system

March 25, 2010 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

Updated May 2019 || 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 keep in mind when you design your motion system. 1. Torque (Nm) is the product of an acting force and the effective length […]
