Ruland Manufacturing has introduced its new D-series six beam couplings, expanding its beam coupling product line to offer one of the most complete selections of standard beam couplings available for precision motion control applications.

Ruland now offers MI-series single beam couplings, expanding its zero-backlash beam coupling line to include one, four, and six beam styles. Single beam couplings are ideal for light-duty applications with low torque requirements such as encoders, tachometers, and small analytical devices.

Food and beverage manufacturers face unique challenges in ensuring precision, hygiene, and reliability in their equipment. Ruland’s shaft collars and rigid couplings are engineered and manufactured to meet the demanding needs of food processing, packaging, and handling systems, offering solutions that enhance efficiency and reduce downtime.

Ruland Manufacturing has acquired the assets of RoCom Couplings, a Santa Maria, California-based company specializing in beaming technology, including beam couplings, machined springs, and custom beamed components.

Ruland bellows couplings are ideal for precision motion in robotic applications due to their zero-backlash design, high torque and torsional stiffness, and various styles that ensure accurate movement and smooth operation.

Ruland Manufacturing has expanded its jaw coupling line to meet the demands of high-torque applications, now offering bore sizes up to 45 mm and torque capacities of 300 Nm. These new jaw couplings are designed for use in precision systems with high deceleration and acceleration curves, such as those found in semiconductor, solar, conveyor, and warehouse automation applications.

Ruland continues to expand its motion control coupling product line by introducing bellows couplings with increased misalignment capabilities. These new bellows couplings complement Ruland’s existing high-stiffness line by offering equivalent torque with greater misalignment flexibility.

Ruland now offers bellows and double disc couplings with bore sizes up to 45 mm or 1-3/4 in for use in systems with torque up to 158 Nm (1,4000 in-lbs).

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.

Ruland has released mountable shaft collars with face holes for applications where the shaft collar needs to be directly mounted to a component such as a pulley, sprocket, or metallic plate. The shaft collars are available with drilled face holes that give the user flexibility in mounting hardware, or tapped holes that match the standard screw threading of the collar for ease of installation.
