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: Boulder, CO Question: What are the minimum and maximum shaft gaps for a coupling? Answer:The user is basically asking about the minimum and maximum shaft penetrations of the coupling. On our product pages we call out the max shaft penetration for all of the couplings we make. In the case of something like a bellows coupling, it's going to be something like half the length of the coupling less a little bit to accommodate for misalignment. On something like a jaw coupling it's going to be limited by the hub length so the shafts don't interfere with the spider. The minimum shaft penetration is not something we currently post on the website but is coming soon. For clamp style couplings, the shafts must go all the way through the clamp cut. For set screw style, the chamfer on the shaft must penetrate through so the set screw doesn't interfere with it.
