The bellows couplings feature a balanced design to reduce vibration in high rpm applications of up to 10,000 rpm.



Ruland Manufacturing Co. (Marlborough, MA), Inc. offers bellows couplings for highly accurate performance in motion control applications. Bellows couplings combine stainless steel bellows and aluminum hubs. The combination of aluminum hubs with the bellows results in an extremely lightweight, low inertia coupling. Additional features include:

  • A balanced design to reduce vibration in high rpm applications of up to 10,000 rpm.
  • A construction of stainless steel.
  • Uniform thin walls.
  • Low bearing loads that remain constant at all points of rotation.
  • Accomodates parallel misalignment, angular misalignment and axial motion.
  • Offered in 6 sizes with set screw or Nomar clamp style hubs and straight or step bores ranging from 1/8" to 1" in the inch series and 3 mm to 25 mm in the metric series.
