Ruland offers zero backlash jaw couplings for the demanding requirements of start and stop machine vision systems. The dampening characteristics of Ruland’s jaw couplings reduce settling time and shock loads, making them ideal for these environments. The jaw couplings are a three piece design comprised of two aluminum hubs and an elastomer element called the 'spider'.

Ruland offers miniature rigid couplings for a wide variety of medical devices, including test and measurement systems, imaging, patient positioning, and liquid handling such as chromatography. Rigid couplings are zero-backlash, torsionally stiff, and have high torque capacity. They should be used when shaft misalignment is neither present nor desired, with the rigid coupling often used to help establish the alignment.
