New from Ruland: Schmidt Controlflex couplings
Ruland Manufacturing is now an authorized distributor for Controlflex couplings manufactured by Schmidt-Kupplung in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. This partnership will give Schmidt-Kupplung an expanded North American presence and Ruland a more complete zero-backlash coupling product line. Controlflex couplings have a compact balanced design, are electrically isolating, and have high misalignment capabilities, making them a suitable fit […]
Installation and assembly tools from Ruland
Ruland has added a new accessory product line including key stock, hex keys and torque wrenches to assist with assembly and installation of shaft collars and couplings. Tools are available in a wide range of options from stock in Ruland’s Marlborough, Massachusetts factory. Ruland oversized key stock is pre-cut to fit inch and metric ASME […]
What environmental factors influence coupling selection?
Understanding the myriad environmental variables a coupling might encounter is crucial during early the design stages of your motion system. We spoke with Bobby Watkins from Ruland Manufacturing to help us identify some of the environmental consideration design engineers should keep in mind. He gives a few real-world examples to explain. “Environmental considerations include temperature, […]
Left hand threaded shaft collars from Ruland
Ruland has expanded its offering of threaded shaft collars by adding inch and metric left hand threaded styles to give designers more flexibility to work with standard off the shelf components. They are available in one- and two-piece clamp styles in steel and stainless steel with bore sizes ranging from 1/8 to 2-1/4-in. and 4 […]

How many different uses are there for shaft collars?
Shaft Collars…A Million Uses At Ruland Manufacturing, they have a running joke that there are a million different uses for shaft collars. Three years ago, they challenged themselves to find them. The company says the shaft collars that they have found in their travels have been fascinating — exercising on the Bondi Coogie beach walk […]
Do jaw couplings help with electrical isolation?
Electrical isolation from a coupling is a common need for many motion system designs. We spoke with Bobby Watkins from Ruland Manufacturing to help us identify one of the most common types of couplings for when you need electrical isolation in your next design. “Electrical isolation: We talked about that some of the designs that will […]
Do I need to worry about windup during my coupling selection?
Often confused with backlash, windup is easy to overlook when selecting couplings for a motion system. But windup is an important consideration that can cause real problems if not factored-in early in the design process. Bobby Watkins of Ruland Manufacturing gives us a few reminders for thinking about windup in during your selection process. “Windup […]
Are you overlooking duty cycle in your coupling selection?
Duty cycle is a critical but often overlooked consideration during the coupling selection process. Critical elements like types of motion, potential shock load scenarios, and start/stop situations should all be evaluated when selecting a coupling for your next motion system application. Here, Bobby Watkins of Ruland Manufacturing gives us some insight on what to look […]
