Oldham Coupling Applications
Backlash-free Couplings for High-Tech Applications
For high technology applications such as test and measurement, inspection, liquid handling, semi-conductor, solar panel production equipment, print and packaging automation as well as medical devices, Ruland manufactures a variety of components including oldham couplings and beam couplings.
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.
Oldham Couplings for Motors
Design engineers must consider a variety of options when specifying a motor system. Stepper motors, servo motors, and encoders have different performance requirements that guide coupling selection. Oldham couplings are zero-backlash, forgiving, electrically isolating, and well-suited for stepper motor and encoder applications.
Oldham Couplings for Printing Applications
Ruland manufactures zero-backlash oldham couplings that accommodate high amounts of parallel misalignment with low bearing loads and have a balanced design for reduced vibration at higher speeds. Print equipment manufacturers benefit from the combination of flexibility and accuracy of motion. The three-piece design allows for in place servicing without machine disassembly, a useful feature for removing or changing out rollers.
Oldham Couplings for Semiconductor Applications
Need a zero-backlash coupling that can accommodate high amounts of parallel misalignment while maintaining the accuracy needed for semiconductor equipment? Ruland manufactures oldham couplings for semiconductor applications including test, measurement, wafer handling, etching, grinding, and pick and place equipment.
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.
