Frequently Asked Questions

What is a RULAND MANUFACTURING slit coupling used for?

A RULAND MANUFACTURING slit coupling, such as the RLC16-6-4-A, is used to connect two shafts in motion-control systems while compensating for minor misalignment. It is common in packaging, robotics, and machine-tool applications where zero backlash and high torsional stiffness are required.

What are the specifications of the RULAND RLC16-6-4-A slit coupling?

The RULAND RLC16-6-4-A is a long clamp-on slit coupling with a 3/8 in bore diameter on one side and a 1/4 in bore diameter on the other. Its overall length is 1 11/32 in. This coupling is designed for precision motion control and is manufactured by RULAND MANUFACTURING.

Where to buy RULAND MANUFACTURING couplings in worldwide?

You can source RULAND MANUFACTURING couplings, including the RLC16-6-4-A, through 3G Electric. As a global industrial distributor, 3G Electric handles full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to worldwide locations. Contact us for availability and lead times.

How to select the right RULAND slit coupling for an application?

To select the correct RULAND slit coupling, match bore diameters to your shaft sizes and verify overall length fits your space. Consider torque requirements and misalignment tolerance. For the RLC16-6-4-A, ensure one shaft is 3/8 in and the other is 1/4 in. Consult RULAND's technical data for load ratings.

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.
