Product Description

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Ruland Manufacturing slit coupling used for?

A Ruland Manufacturing slit coupling connects two shafts in motion-control systems, compensating for minor misalignment while transmitting torque. It is commonly used in encoders, stepper motors, and precision positioning equipment across industrial automation, packaging, and robotics applications.

What are the specifications of the Ruland RLC16-5-5-A slit coupling?

The Ruland RLC16-5-5-A is a long clamp-on slit coupling with 5/16 in bore diameters on both ends and an overall length of 1 11/32 in. It is designed for zero-backlash torque transmission and accommodates parallel, angular, and axial misalignment in servo and encoder systems.

Where to buy a Ruland RLC16-5-5-A slit coupling worldwide?

3G Electric supplies the Ruland RLC16-5-5-A slit coupling to customers worldwide. As a global industrial solutions provider, we handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your facility. Contact us for a quote and lead time on this precision motion-control component.

How to install a Ruland clamp-on slit coupling?

To install a Ruland clamp-on slit coupling, clean both shaft ends and slide the coupling over them. Align the shafts within the coupling's misalignment ratings, then tighten the clamp screws evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Avoid over-tightening to prevent shaft damage.

Common applications for RULAND MANUFACTURING

Automated packaging machinery — Ruland beam couplings (e.g., PSR20-8-5-A) for connecting servo motors to conveyor drive shafts.

CNC machine tools — Ruland rigid couplings (e.g., CLX-4-4-A) for precise alignment of ball screw assemblies.

Robotic arm joints — Ruland Oldham coupling hubs (e.g., OSC16-6-A) for accommodating axial motion in end-effector drives.

Pump and compressor systems — Ruland stainless steel shaft collars (e.g., CL-3-ST) for securing impeller shafts.

Printing press rollers — Ruland clamp-on beam couplings (e.g., PCR18-8-8-A) for synchronizing roller rotation with minimal backlash.

Material handling conveyors — Ruland set screw couplings (e.g., PSMR29-7-7-A) for linking gearboxes to drive rollers.
