Ruland beam couplers with six slots

The D-series beam couplings feature a larger bore of up to 25 mm, can compensate for misalignment errors of up to 7 degrees, and have an anodized finish for improved corrosion resistance. The six-slot design offers higher torsional stiffness compared to single- or four-slot beam couplings, while maintaining high compensation for misalignment errors. Ruland manufactures the D-series. beam couplers with two sets of three wide spiral slots, making it possible to compensate for large axial alignment errors. They have the longest length per version in Ruland's beam coupling range, making them ideal for applications with a large distance between the shaft ends.

Ruland standard solutions for beam couplings

With the addition of the D-series, Ruland now offers standard beam coupler solutions suitable for most light to medium-duty servo and motion control applications. Instead of specifying details for a custom component, technical specialists can select a standard coupler, which simplifies design, qualification, and procurement.

Ruland's D-series beam couplers are manufactured with care in the USA from carefully selected 2024-T51 aluminum rod. Proprietary processes are used to guarantee consistent product quality. They are available with bores from 4 mm to 25 mm. The D-series is ideal for applications such as encoders, positioning systems, robotics, medical equipment, and automation equipment, where accuracy and reliability are of crucial importance.
