About

Double Disc

Ruland double disc couplings are comprised of two anodized aluminum hubs, two sets of stainless steel disc springs, and a center spacer. This design allows the sets of disc springs to bend independent of each other to accommodate all forms of misalignment, including parallel. Center spacers are available in anodized aluminum or acetal for electrical isolation. Ruland disc couplings are zero-backlash and have a balanced design for reduced vibration at speeds up to 10,000 RPM. They are a simple assembly with few moving parts, reducing the risk of backlash and premature failure. Clamp and set screw hubs are available in bore sizes from 1/8” to 1-1/4” and 3mm to 32mm.

Single Disc

Ruland single disc couplings are comprised of two anodized aluminum hubs and one set of stainless steel disc springs. This design allows them to be used in confined spaces where other styles of coupling may not be able to fit. The single set of disc springs does not allow for any parallel misalignment. Ruland disc couplings are zero-backlash and have a balanced design for reduced vibration at speeds up to 10,000 RPM. They are a simple assembly with few moving parts, reducing the risk of backlash and premature failure. Clamp and set screw hubs are available in bore sizes from 1/8” to 1-1/4” and 3mm to 32mm.

Electrically Isolating

Ruland electrically isolating double disc couplings are comprised of two anodized aluminum hubs, two sets of stainless steel disc springs, and an acetal center spacer. This design allows the sets of disc springs to bend independent of each other to accommodate all forms of misalignment, including parallel. Ruland disc couplings are zero-backlash and have a balanced design for reduced vibration at speeds up to 10,000 RPM. They are a simple assembly with few moving parts, reducing the risk of backlash and premature failure. Clamp and set screw hubs are available in bore sizes from 1/8” to 1-1/4” and 3mm to 30mm.

Why Ruland?

High torque and torsional stiffness with industry-leading misalignment capabilities due to Ruland’s proprietary disc spring design.
No contaminants will transfer from the coupling to the system because of machining processes that leave a fine, burr-free finish.
Speeds up to 10,000 RPMs with reduced vibrations due to our standard balanced design.
Suitable for a wide variety of precise positioning applications because of the three styles offered:

Single disc for compact installations.
Double disc with an aluminum center spacer for the best balance of torque, stiffness, and misalignment.
Double disc with an acetal center spacer for electrical isolation.
