PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

Ruland BCK32-16-10-A is a high stiffness bellows coupling with 1.0000" x 0.6250" bores, 2.000" OD, 2.413" length, and 1/4" x 3/16" keyways. It has fewer convolutions than comparably sized high misalignment styles allowing for increased torsional stiffness making it the ideal choice for precision positioning applications. BCK32-16-10-A is comprised of two anodized aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows for lightweight and low inertia. It is also engineered with a balanced design for reduced vibration at high speeds up to 10,000 RPM. The thin walls of the bellows are able to flex while remaining rigid under torsional loads allowing for the accommodation of all forms of misalignment. Hardware is metric and tests beyond DIN 912 12.9 standards for maximum torque capabilities. BCK32-16-10-A is machined from meticulously selected bar stock that is sourced exclusively from North American mills. It is carefully made in our ISO 9001:2015 advanced manufacturing facility in Marlborough, MA under strict controls using proprietary processes. BCK32-16-10-A is RoHS3, REACH, and Conflict Minerals compliant.

Product Notes

Note 1

Stainless steel hubs are available upon request.

Note 2

Torque ratings are at maximum misalignment.

Note 3

Performance ratings are for guidance only. The user must determine suitability for a particular application.

Note 4

Torque ratings for the couplings are based on the physical limitations/failure point of the metal bellows. Under normal/typical conditions the hubs are capable of holding up to the rated torque of the metal bellows. Please consult technical support for more assistance.

Installation Instructions

  1. Align the bores of the BCK32-16-10-A bellows coupling on the shafts that are to be joined and determine if the misalignment parameters are within the limits of the coupling. (Angular Misialignment: 2.0°, Parallel Misalignment: 0.010 in, Axial Motion: 0.020 in)
  2. Fully tighten the M5 screw on the first hub to the recommended seating torque of 9.5 Nm using a 4.0 mm hex torque wrench.
  3. Before tightening the screw on the second hub, rotate the coupling by hand to allow it to reach its free length.
  4. Tighten the screw on the second hub to the recommended seating torque. Make sure the coupling remains axially relaxed and the misalignment angle remains centered along the length of the coupling.
  5. The shafts may extend into the relieved portion of the bore as long as it does not exceed the shaft penetration length of 1.099 in.
