Zero-backlash jaw couplings from Ruland have high dampening capabilities, can accommodate all forms of misalignment, and are highly customisable.

Motion control couplings are one of the most common industrial components and there is a diverse base of manufacturers from which to choose, giving original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) many options when selecting a coupling.

Ruland and Reliance Precision have agreed to cooperate by offering Reliance designed and manufactured slit couplings through Ruland’s eCommerce platform and worldwide distribution network.

Keeping a servo driven system running at peak efficiency is no simple feat. Misunderstanding performance criteria such as misalignment, torque, or RPM can be all it takes to cause a critical and costly failure.

Ruland manufactures clamp style shaft collars with high holding power, fine finishes, and precise face to bore perpendicularity.

Stop-and-go optical inspection systems often have aggressive acceleration/deceleration profiles. The dampening characteristics of Ruland zero-backlash jaw couplings reduce settling time and shock loads, improving accuracy and minimising wear.

Thanks to their zero backlash, high torsional stiffness and accommodation of misalignment, Ruland beam couplings are suitable for encoder, tachometer, and light duty power transmission applications commonly found in medical equipment.

Ruland offers both single and double (pictured) disc style couplings for systems demanding high accuracy. These couplings have low inertia and are torsionally stiff, making them suitable for precise zero-backlash systems with speeds up to 10,000rpm. Ruland single and double disc couplings are available in both clamp style and set screw style with bore sizes ranging from 3mm to 30mm.
