Ruland slit couplings for robotic systems
Ruland offers slit couplings for robotic systems. Slit couplings are zero-backlash, lightweight, and manufactured with intermittent slit cuts, making them a suitable starting point for designers of robotic systems. While they are visually similar to Ruland multiple-beam couplings, the slit cut design gives them higher torque and torsional stiffness capabilities and multiple length options in […]
Ruland expands range of universal joints
Ruland Manufacturing has expanded its line of Belden Universal single and double friction bearing universal joints to offer over 3,500 standard items. This expansion combines Belden’s reputation for product quality and performance with Ruland’s ability to machine standard parts in two weeks or less. Customers will have the widest selection of universal joints to choose […]
Ruland jaw couplings for servo motors
Zero-backlash jaw couplings from Ruland have high dampening capabilities, can accommodate all forms of misalignment, and are highly customizable. They are well-suited for servo motors that are often used in precise positioning applications found in semiconductor, solar, medical, and robotics. Each application that uses a servo motor will have different performance requirements such as rpm, […]
Ruland clamp style four beam coupling
Ruland PCMR19-3-3-SS is a clamp style four beam coupling with 3mm x 3mm bores, 19.1mm OD, and 22.9mm length. It is machined from a single piece of material and features two sets of two spiral cuts. This gives it higher torque capacity, lower windup, and larger body sizes than single beam couplings. PCMR19-3-3-SS is zero-backlash […]
Ruland aluminum MBCK33-14-8-A bellows coupling
Ruland MBCK33-14-8-A is a clamp bellows coupling with 14mm x 8mm bores, 33.3mm OD, 42.9mm length, and 5mm x 2mm keyways. It is zero-backlash and has a balanced design for reduced vibration at high speeds. MBCK33-14-8-A is comprised of two anodized aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows. The bellows are able to flex while […]
New from Ruland: star knobs and adjustable clamping handles
Ruland has expanded its line of adjustable components to include star knobs and adjustable clamping handles. This expansion gives designers a wider variety of standard in-stock components to choose from when designing machines where quick installation, adjustment, and removal is desired without the use of tools such as those found in packaging, printing, semiconductor, and […]
New from Ruland: slit couplings
Ruland Manufacturing and Reliance Precision have agreed to cooperate by offering Reliance designed and manufactured slit couplings through Ruland’s eCommerce platform and extensive worldwide distribution network. Ruland will stock and bore to size a wide selection of slit couplings in its Marlborough, MA location. The addition of slit couplings gives Ruland a more complete zero-backlash […]
Ruland shaft collars for medical analysis equipment
Ruland manufactures shaft collars from carefully specified raw materials with fine finishes, high holding power, and precise face to bore perpendicularity, making them suitable for medical analysis equipment. Clamp-style shaft collars are commonly used for guiding, spacing, stopping, and component alignment. Medical analysis equipment manufacturers benefit from the tightly controlled face to bore perpendicularity of […]
New coupling technologies offer more support for encoder requirements and washdown settings
The location of mechanical couplings — connecting rotating shafts powered by electric motors and fairly close to the loads being moved or manipulated — makes it an ideal place to optimize the performance of machine axes. No wonder that our 2020 Design World Trends survey of industry experts indicates an uptick in innovation related to […]
