Rigid couplings
16 June 2014
Offering precision honed bores, anti-vibration hardware, and opposing hardware on two-piece styles to ensure superior fit, alignment, and holding power, rigid couplings from Ruland are available in a wide variety of sizes, styles, and materials to suit the needs of packaging applications.

The couplings are said to be ideal for shaft to shaft connections and precise servo driven applications found in packaging as they do not introduce misalignment, vibration, or bearing noise into the system.
Straight bore rigid couplings from Ruland have precision honed bores for better fit, torque transmission, and alignment. The cross cut design accommodates slight deviations in the size of the shafts being connected for proper fit.
