Ruland Bellows Couplings: perfect for precision movements in robot applications
Ruland bellows couplings are ideal for precision motion in robotic applications thanks to their backlash-free design, high torque, and torsional stiffness. Available in various styles, they ensure precise motion and smooth operation. These couplings are often used in industrial, medical, and autonomous robotic systems that require high speed and accuracy.
The bellows couplings Ruland's actuators are specifically designed for applications requiring high torque and backlash-free motion, essential for robots requiring precise motion control. They are lightweight, have low inertia, and can handle various forms of misalignment, making them highly versatile for various robotic applications.
Ruland bellows couplings
Designers benefit from using Ruland bellows couplings because they produce less vibration at speeds up to 10,000 rpm thanks to their balanced design. They are available in standard lengths for increased torsional stiffness and in extended lengths for reduced misalignment. These options allow designers to choose the bellows coupling that best suits their application.
Ruland bellows couplings are available in clamp construction, with bore sizes ranging from 3 mm to 45 mm. The hubs are machined from carefully selected 2024 T-351 aluminum bar stock for high strength and low inertia. The bellows are made of stainless steel, which allows for flexibility under torsional loads. Each coupling undergoes a proprietary assembly process to ensure that no misalignment occurs, which would cause high bearing loads in the system.
Ruland carefully manufactures its bellows couplings in an ISO 9001:2015-certified state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Marlborough, Massachusetts, USA, with strict controls and proprietary processes. They are RoHS3, REACH, and Conflict Minerals compliant, ensuring they meet global standards for environmental sustainability and safety.
