Ruland Manufacturing now offers bellows and double disc couplings with bore sizes up to 1-3/4 in or 45 mm for use in systems with torque up to 1,4000 in-lbs (158 Nm). High torque applications commonly found in precision semiconductor, solar, conveyor, and factory automation applications often use these shaft sizes. Ruland disc and bellows couplings […]

Ruland Manufacturing has released mountable shaft collars with face holes for applications where the collar needs to be directly fastened to a component such as a pulley, sprocket, or metallic plate. Shaft collars are used to properly position components, holding them securely in place. The shaft collars are available with drilled face holes that give…

Ruland Manufacturing now offers rigid couplings with inch-to-metric bores as a standard product, giving users a wider range of off-the-shelf couplings. This expansion is the latest addition to the company’s inch-to-metric, standard coupling product line that includes seven types of motion-control couplings and universal joints. Instead of re-machining or ordering custom-made couplings, using off-the-shelf, inch-to-metric […]

Ruland zero-backlash jaw couplings are a three-piece assembly designed to accommodate high acceleration and deceleration curves that result in peak torque. Jaw couplings are ideal for systems that experience hard starts, hard stops, or reversals, including in medical, semiconductor, test and measurement, and robotics applications. Ruland’s balanced jaw coupling design consists of two hubs and […]

  Ruland Manufacturing, a privately owned family manufacturer, offers several types of wrenches, including two types of adjustable torque wrenches. The adjustable torque wrenches have a micrometer used to adjust the torque setting. The wrench features a twist-locking action that prevents accidental changing of torque settings. When the selected torque value is achieved, a distinct…

Ruland Manufacturing has expanded its range of short rigid couplings to include keyways and step bore sizes. This expansion gives designers a wider variety of standard short rigid coupling options for applications with space or weight restrictions — or where designers prefer a simplified assembly with fewer screws than traditional rigid couplings. Many servo-driven applications…

We recently asked several industry experts about trends they’re seeing in engineering training, software tools, and support. Here’s what those experts had to say. Meet the experts Nathan Andaya | Director Techline SBU • LINAK U.S. Boaz Eidelberg | CTO • SAAR Inc. James Gallant | Director of operations • ISL Products International Ltd. Chris…

  Written by William Hewitson, President Ruland Manufacturing Co., Inc. Mechanical couplings have a principal use in the connection of rotating shafts for the transfer of rotary motion and torque. As with all mechanical devices, a coupling must match its intended purpose and application parameters including various performance, environmental, use, and service factors. When selected…

Ruland Manufacturing has expanded its line of Belden Universal single and double-friction bearing universal joints. The company now offers more than 3,500 standard items. The expansion combines Belden’s reputation for product quality and performance with Ruland’s ability to machine standard parts in two weeks or less. Customers now have one of the largest selections of…

Ruland has expanded its range of International Series shaft collars to include quick clamping with clamping lever, mountable with or without quick clamping lever, and anodized aluminum bodies with stainless steel hardware. The International Series is an application solution series that lets designers work with inch or metric bore shaft collars that share a single […]

Ruland WCL-10-F is a one-piece double wide shaft collar with a 0.6250-in. bore, 1 5/16-in. OD, and 15/16-in. width. The clamp style design does not mar the shaft, is easy to remove, and is indefinitely adjustable. It is commonly used for guiding, spacing, stopping, mounting, and component alignment. Equipment manufacturers benefit from the tightly controlled […]

Ruland Manufacturing‘s pre-designed modular mounting systems comprise of a kit of components that fit together to mount conveyor rails, sensors, screens, cameras, and other industrial components in a variety of applications. They include an assortment of tubes, connectors, mounting components, and accessories that are used for mounting in industrial equipment — such as those found…

The global flash knockout from COVID-19 has forced companies to adapt on countless fronts with unprecedented immediacy. Simple tasks are now complex undertakings. Collaboration must be mediated digitally — results lag. With the scope of new challenges just starting to come into focus, we wanted to learn more about how companies are handling the disruption of […]

Ruland Manufacturing now supplies a wide selection of vibration isolation mounts and rubber bumpers for use in packaging, conveyors, food processing, and other industrial equipment. These rubber components are mounted in a variety of ways to extend machine life and reduce noise which allows for a safer work environment. Vibration isolation mounts and rubber bumpers […]

    Have you ever broken a servo coupling? If you answered yes, you are not alone. On this webinar hosted by Bobby Watkins, Ruland Manufacturing’s VP of Sales and Applications, you will learn why couplings fail, the importance of proper installation, and ways you can avoid failures in the future. Bobby will use a…
