Beam couplings for encoder feedback systems

The multiple cut pattern accommodates angular misalignment and axial motion, but is particularly advantageous when parallel misalignment is present.

All clamp-style flexible couplings from Ruland have a balanced design. Balancing allows for operation at higher rpm with reduced vibration. Standard bore sizes are available in inch, metric, and inch to metric combinations ranging from 3/32 inch to ½ inch and 3 mm to 12 mm. Larger bore sizes, keyways, and anodizing are among the options available by special order.

P and MW Series beam couplings are part of Ruland’s complete line of clamp-style shaft collars, precision honed rigid couplings, and zero-backlash couplings including beam, bellows, disc, jaw, and oldham styles. All products are RoHS2 and Reach compliant.
