Beam Couplings

Why choose a Ruland beam coupling?

• Higher torsional rigidity compared to commodity style single-beam couplings.
• Unique balanced clamp screw design reduces vibration while the cross cut increases clamping ability.
• Machined from a single piece of aluminium or stainless steel with multiple spiral cuts for higher torsional stiffness and torque capabilities.
• Accommodates parallel misalignment, angular misalignment and axial motion.
• Two sets of cuts around centre member better accommodate parallel misalignment then single beam couplings.
• Four beam and six beam couplings offered.  Four beam couplings are more flexible with lower bearing loads. Six beam couplings have increased torque capacity and higher torsional stiffness.
• Aluminium couplings made from type 7075 aluminium for longer life.
• Stainless steel couplings offered for greater torque capacity.
