Jaw couplings for surgical robots
Ruland manufactures zero-backlash jaw couplings with a balanced design for reduced vibration and constant velocity in applications that require demanding starts and stops such as those in industries like semiconductor, solar, medical, and packaging. The dampening ability of Ruland’s jaw couplings aid in reducing settling time and shock loads, making them an ideal option for […]
Quick clamping shaft collars for packaging applications
Ruland quick clamping shaft collars require no tools for installation, adjustment or removal, making them a convenient and efficient choice for a variety of packaging equipment and applications. Designers and operators of packaging machines such as wrappers, bundlers, and cartoners benefit from the faster, tool-less adjustment of quick clamping shaft collars. Ruland offers two types […]
Disc couplings for test, measurement, and inspection systems
Ruland disc couplings are zero-backlash, have high torque and torsional stiffness, and can accommodate all forms of misalignment, making them well suited to the requirements of test, measurement, and inspection systems. Single and double disc styles are available, allowing the designer to tailor coupling performance to application requirements. Disc couplings are comprised of two anodized […]
Rigid couplings for food equipment
Ruland rigid couplings have high torque capacity, accuracy, and repeatability, making them the ideal choice for food equipment. Designers of food processing, baking, and packaging equipment benefit from the Nypatch anti-vibration hardware, precision honed bores, and high torque of Ruland rigid couplings. Ruland straight bore rigid couplings are manufactured with precision honed bores for concentricity […]
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 […]
