Mountable shaft collars with face holes are designed to mate directly with components such as sprockets, pulleys, and metallic plates. Ruland manufactures them with drilled holes for mounting flexibility or threaded holes for the most secure connection between the collar and mated component. They are offered in steel, aluminum, and 303 stainless steel in bore sizes ranging from 3/8” to 2” and 10mm to 50mm.
Clamp style universal joints improve over set screw style because they do not mar the shaft, offer infinite adjustability, and can be used on all shaft types. Ruland is the only North American supplier of clamp style universal joints and manufactures the clamp feature, bores, and keyways in our advanced manufacturing facility in Marlborough, MA USA. They are available in sizes from 1/4" to 1 1/4” in steel for high strength and stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

Location: Joeberg, South Africa Question: What is the axial load that can be applied to a servo coupling? Answer:In our catalog the only coupling that can handle an axial load is a rigid. Any of the flexible couplings, including a beam, will fail quickly. This is a common mistake made with beam couplings, as they look like a spring but do not function like one. Even though we have axial misalignment ratings for all of our flexible couplings, it is only mean to allow for thermal expansion of the shafts. This is a specialized application that requires a different type of coupling.
