Linear Applications
Shaft Collars for Gearboxes
Ruland clamp style shaft collars are manufactured from select materials, have fine finishes, high holding power, and precise face to bore perpendicularity making them ideal for the demands of gearboxes.
Zero-Backlash Jaw Couplings for Gearboxes
Ruland manufactures zero-backlash jaw couplings with a balanced design, high accuracy, and design versatility. They are an excellent fit for gearboxes which are used in a wide variety of applications such as packaging equipment, conveyors and material handling systems, and food processing equipment.
Shaft Collars as Mechanical Stops
Shaft collars from Ruland are commonly used as mechanical stops on cylinders and actuators where precise control of motion is critical. They have tightly controlled face to bore perpendicularity for increased performance in impact applications. Fastening hardware tests above industry standards for maximum torque capabilities and holding power.
Bellows Couplings for Motors
Bellows couplings have high torsional stiffness, a balanced design and can accommodate all forms of misalignment. They are a good choice for motors coupled to screw driven actuators in precision applications such as those found in semiconductor, solar, and printing.
Jaw Couplings for Motors
Ruland zero-backlash jaw couplings have high dampening capabilities, can accommodate all forms of misalignment, and are highly customizable. They are well suited for applications with high acceleration and deceleration curves that have a motor coupled to a screw driven actuator or gearbox.
Oldham Couplings for Motors
Design engineers must consider a variety of options when specifying a motor system. Stepper motors, servo motors, and encoders have different performance requirements that guide coupling selection. Oldham couplings are zero-backlash, forgiving, electrically isolating, and well-suited for stepper motor and encoder applications.
