Medical Applications
Clamp Style Shaft Collars for Medical Equipment
Clamp style shaft collars from Ruland are commonly used as guides, spacers, and stops or for component alignment. Medical equipment manufacturers benefit from the tightly controlled face to bore perpendicularity of Ruland shaft collars (TIR of = .002” or .05mm) which is critical when the collar is used as a load-bearing face or for aligning components such as bearings or gears.
Hygienic Shaft Collars for Medical Equipment
Need a hygienic shaft collar that helps protect medical equipment from excess bacteria buildup? Ruland offers 303 and316 stainless steel shaft collars as well as patent pending washdown shaft collars to meet the varying levels of bacteria protection necessary in medical equipment such as cell and blood analyzers, microscopy, chromatography, pipetting, diagnostic imaging and patient positioning.
Rigid Couplings for Medical Imaging Equipment
Ruland rigid couplings are an excellent choice for medical imaging equipment such as X-ray scanners, MRI machines, and CAT scan machines. Despite having slightly different application needs these machines require a coupling that is non-magnetic, has high torque capabilities, and is zero-backlash.
Rigid Couplings for Medical Applications
Ruland offers rigid couplings for a wide variety of medical applications including test and measurement, imaging, patient positioning, and liquid handling such as chromatography and drug discovery.
Beam Coupling for Machine Vision Systems
Machine vision systems demand precision components capable of handling frequent starts and stops. Ruland manufactures zero-backlash beam couplings capable of handling the difficult requirements of machine vision systems used industries such as semiconductor, medical, solar, and packaging.
Beam Couplings for Medical Applications
Ruland beam couplings are zero backlash, have high torsional stiffness and accommodate misalignment making them well suited for encoder, tachometer, and light duty power transmission applications commonly found in medical equipment. They are designed to ensure low bearing loads and balancing for reduced vibration at higher speeds.
Servo Couplings for Medical Applications
Ruland manufactures a diverse line of servo couplings to provide solutions for medical applications such as test and measurement, imaging, patient positioning, pharmaceutical, and liquid handling such as chromatography and drug discovery.
