Ruland Manufacturing has expanded its range of short rigid couplings to include keyways and step bore sizes. This expansion gives designers a wider variety of standard short rigid coupling options for applications with space or weight restrictions — or where designers prefer a simplified assembly with fewer screws than traditional rigid couplings. Many servo-driven applications…
JW Winco releases new precision couplings
Like all mechanical parts, shafts are subject to manufacturing and assembly tolerances that generally cannot be entirely eliminated even with extensive technical measures. Without compensation of these mechanical deviations, they can cause vibrations, noises, and stiffness — eventually reducing the lifespan of the connected units. The standard part professionals at JW Winco tackled these problems…
How to avoid coupling failures?
Written by William Hewitson, President Ruland Manufacturing Co., Inc. Mechanical couplings have a principal use in the connection of rotating shafts for the transfer of rotary motion and torque. As with all mechanical devices, a coupling must match its intended purpose and application parameters including various performance, environmental, use, and service factors. When selected…
New quick-release couplings from JW Winco: A connection that won’t let go
To reduce the time involved in setting up equipment and production lines, JW Winco, the standard parts specialist, has incorporated a new coupling in its product portfolio. With the GN 1050 quick-release coupling, components can now be quickly and securely connected to a machine or device with a simple click. Quick-release couplings are frequently used…

BKS Series Welded Bellows Couplings from R+W
R+W America’s BKS series of stainless steel, welded bellows couplings are up to 1/3 shorter in length, reducing moment of inertia and saving space. Manufactured in Germany, the BKS makes use of 1.4301 (304) stainless steel hubs, precision machined to a high level of concentricity. Laser welded while mounted onto a common shaft to guarantee…
Non-spill Quick Disconnect Couplings
Non-spill couplings enable leak-free connection and disconnection of critical fluid lines in liquid cooled servers, chillers and other electronic systems, without the risk of drips or spills. Available for tubing ID ranges from 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) to ¾ in. (19.0 mm), plastic and metal connectors alleviate concerns inherent in handling fluids in the vicinity…
