Frequently Asked Questions

What is a RULAND MANUFACTURING bellows coupling used for?

This clamp-on bellows shaft coupling connects two shafts with a 12 mm bore and a 1/4 in bore, compensating for misalignment in motion control systems. It is commonly used in precision automation, robotics, and servo-drive applications where zero backlash and high torsional stiffness are required.

What are the specifications of the RULAND MANUFACTURING BC16-12MM-1/4"-A bellows coupling?

The BC16-12MM-1/4"-A has a 12 mm bore diameter 1 and a 1/4 in bore diameter 2, with same bore dimensions and an inch-to-metric bore configuration. It is made of stainless steel, has a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, and is a clamp-on type for round shafts.

Where to buy RULAND MANUFACTURING bellows couplings worldwide?

3G Electric supplies RULAND MANUFACTURING bellows couplings worldwide. As a global industrial distributor, we handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your location. Contact us to source the BC16-12MM-1/4"-A or other RULAND MANUFACTURING couplings for your application.

How to select a RULAND MANUFACTURING bellows coupling for a shaft connection?

Select a coupling by matching bore diameters to your shaft sizes—here, 12 mm and 1/4 in. Ensure the maximum speed (10,000 RPM) exceeds your operating speed. Choose stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The clamp-on design simplifies installation without shaft modification.

Used in

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.
