Ruland enhances its motion control solutions by acquiring RoCom Couplings, expanding its beam coupling and machined spring capabilities while boosting production efficiency, product range, and customer service.

Ruland bellows couplings are lightweight, low inertia, and versatile for high-torque, zero-backlash robotic applications, making them ideal for precision motion control and misalignment.

Ruland Manufacturing has expanded its jaw coupling line to meet the demands of high-torque applications, now offering bore sizes up to 1-3/4 in or 45 mm and torque capacities of 2,655 in-lbs (300 Nm).

The new bellows couplings complement Ruland’s existing high-stiffness line by offering equivalent torque with greater misalignment flexibility.

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.

Ruland has released mountable shaft collars with face holes for applications where the shaft collar needs to be directly mounted to a component such as a pulley, sprocket, or metallic plate.

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 Manufacturing Co, has announced the launch of clamp style universal joints, an innovative product offering designers a standard, off-the-shelf solution that eliminates common issues associated with set screw or pin options.

Ruland offers four-beam and six-beam couplings for encoders and light-duty power transmission, enabling robotic designers to create standard beam couplings for most systems.

Ruland 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.
