Encoder Applications
Beam Coupling for Encoder Feedback Systems
Ruland manufactures beam couplings designed specifically for encoder feedback systems. These couplings offer high misalignment capabilities with low bearing loads and are torsionally stiffer than single beam couplings allowing for greater accuracy and repeatability.
Encoder Solutions from Ruland: Four Beam Couplings
Ruland four beam couplings are designed for encoders that require a coupling with high flexibility and accuracy. They are torsionally stiffer than commodity style single beam couplings for better performance in applications where precise measurement of motion is required.
Motion Control Couplings with Inch to Metric Bores
Motion systems often utilize a metric servo or stepper motor driving an inch ball screw, lead screw, or encoder. Coupling selection is a difficult task which becomes more challenging when inch to metric bore combinations are needed. Ruland now offers motion control couplings with inch to metric bores from stock to allow engineers to select the style that best fits their application.
Oldham Couplings for Encoder Feedback Systems
Ruland oldham couplings are flexible and accurate making them ideal for encoder feedback systems. Oldham couplings operate with zero-backlash and can accommodate large amounts of parallel misalignment with low bearing loads.
Encoder Systems
Ruland encoder couplings are an ideal fit for precision sensor and encoder applications, which require a coupling that is both flexible and accurate. P- and MW-Series encoder couplings are designed to be torsionally stiffer with less wind-up than commodity style single beam couplings for increased performance and accuracy.
