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 RLS16-6-5-A slit coupling?

The Ruland RLS16-6-5-A is a long set screw slit coupling with a 3/8 in bore diameter 1 and a 5/16 in bore diameter 2. Its overall length is 1 11/32 in. This coupling is designed for zero-backlash torque transmission and accommodates parallel, angular, and axial misalignment.

Where to buy Ruland Manufacturing couplings worldwide?

3G Electric supplies Ruland Manufacturing couplings like the RLS16-6-5-A to customers worldwide. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your site. Contact us for a quote on this or any other motion-control component across our 14 industrial departments.

How to select the correct Ruland slit coupling for my application?

To select the correct Ruland slit coupling, match the bore diameters to your shaft sizes and verify the overall length fits your assembly space. Consider torque requirements and misalignment tolerance. For the RLS16-6-5-A, ensure one shaft is 3/8 in and the other is 5/16 in. Consult Ruland's technical data for load ratings.
