New from Ruland: inch-to-metric rigid couplings
Ruland Manufacturing now offers rigid couplings with inch-to-metric bores as a standard product, giving users a wider range of off-the-shelf couplings. This expansion is the latest addition to the company’s inch-to-metric, standard coupling product line that includes seven types of motion-control couplings and universal joints. Instead of re-machining or ordering custom-made couplings, using off-the-shelf, inch-to-metric […]
Solutions from Ruland: Jaw couplings for start-stop applications
Ruland zero-backlash jaw couplings are a three-piece assembly designed to accommodate high acceleration and deceleration curves that result in peak torque. Jaw couplings are ideal for systems that experience hard starts, hard stops, or reversals, including in medical, semiconductor, test and measurement, and robotics applications. Ruland’s balanced jaw coupling design consists of two hubs and […]
Ruland expands range of International Series shaft collars
Ruland has expanded its range of International Series shaft collars to include quick clamping with clamping lever, mountable with or without quick clamping lever, and anodized aluminum bodies with stainless steel hardware. The International Series is an application solution series that lets designers work with inch or metric bore shaft collars that share a single […]
Ruland WCL-10-F double wide shaft collar
Ruland WCL-10-F is a one-piece double wide shaft collar with a 0.6250-in. bore, 1 5/16-in. OD, and 15/16-in. width. The clamp style design does not mar the shaft, is easy to remove, and is indefinitely adjustable. It is commonly used for guiding, spacing, stopping, mounting, and component alignment. Equipment manufacturers benefit from the tightly controlled […]
Hack the Crisis: Ruland planning no layoffs, working remotely
The global flash knockout from COVID-19 has forced companies to adapt on countless fronts with unprecedented immediacy. Simple tasks are now complex undertakings. Collaboration must be mediated digitally — results lag. With the scope of new challenges just starting to come into focus, we wanted to learn more about how companies are handling the disruption of […]

These rubber components are mounted in a variety of ways to extend machine life and reduce noise which allows for a safer work environment. Vibration isolation mounts and rubber bumpers […]
Quick Tips to Avoid Coupling Failure
by William Hewitson, Vice President of Manufacturing and Engineering, Ruland Manufacturing Co., Inc The keys to avoiding coupling failure are correct coupling selection using all application design criteria, proper installation, and periodic system maintenance. Mechanical couplings typically connect rotating shafts to facilitate the transfer of rotary motion and torque. As with all mechanical devices, a […]
