Product Description

The RULAND MANUFACTURING RSS16-8MM-5/16"-A is a short set screw slit coupling with an 8 mm bore diameter 1 and a 5/16 in bore diameter 2, round type, and an overall length of 1 1/64 in. This coupling is designed for motion control applications requiring a zero-backlash, single-piece design with set screw fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Ruland Manufacturing slit coupling used for?

A Ruland Manufacturing slit coupling connects two shafts in motion-control systems, compensating for minor misalignment. It is commonly used in encoders, stepper motors, and light-duty power transmission applications where zero backlash and torsional rigidity are required.

What are the specifications of the Ruland RSS16-8MM-5/16"-A slit coupling?

The Ruland RSS16-8MM-5/16"-A is a short set screw slit coupling with an 8 mm bore diameter 1, a 5/16 in bore diameter 2, and a 1 1/64 in overall length. It features a round body design and is manufactured by Ruland Manufacturing.

Where to buy Ruland Manufacturing slit couplings worldwide?

You can source Ruland Manufacturing slit couplings worldwide through 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your location. Contact us for availability and lead time on the RSS16-8MM-5/16"-A model.

How to select the correct Ruland slit coupling for an application?

To select the correct Ruland slit coupling, match bore diameters to your shaft sizes and confirm overall length fits your space. Consider torque requirements and misalignment tolerance. For the RSS16-8MM-5/16"-A, ensure one shaft is 8 mm and the other is 5/16 in.

Used in

Common applications for RULAND MANUFACTURING

Automated packaging machinery — Ruland beam couplings (e.g., PSR20-8-5-A) for connecting servo motors to conveyor drive shafts.

CNC machine tools — Ruland rigid couplings (e.g., CLX-4-4-A) for precise alignment of ball screw assemblies.

Robotic arm joints — Ruland Oldham coupling hubs (e.g., OSC16-6-A) for accommodating axial motion in end-effector drives.

Pump and compressor systems — Ruland stainless steel shaft collars (e.g., CL-3-ST) for securing impeller shafts.

Printing press rollers — Ruland clamp-on beam couplings (e.g., PCR18-8-8-A) for synchronizing roller rotation with minimal backlash.

Material handling conveyors — Ruland set screw couplings (e.g., PSMR29-7-7-A) for linking gearboxes to drive rollers.
