Product Description

The RULAND MANUFACTURING BC16-8-6-A is a clamp-on bellows shaft coupling for round shafts, constructed with stainless steel bellows and aluminum hubs. It features different bore dimensions: a 1/2-inch bore diameter on one side and a 3/8-inch bore diameter on the other, in inch sizing. This motion control coupling is designed for applications requiring zero backlash and high torsional stiffness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a RULAND MANUFACTURING BC16-8-6-A bellows coupling used for?

The RULAND MANUFACTURING BC16-8-6-A is a clamp-on bellows shaft coupling used in motion control applications requiring zero backlash and high torsional stiffness. It connects two round shafts with different bore diameters (1/2 in and 3/8 in) in inch sizing, common in precision positioning and servo systems.

What are the specifications of the RULAND MANUFACTURING BC16-8-6-A?

The BC16-8-6-A has a 1/2 in bore diameter on one side and a 3/8 in bore diameter on the other, with inch sizing. It features stainless steel bellows and aluminum hubs, and is designed for zero-backlash motion control. The manufacturer part number is BC16-8-6-A.

Where to buy a RULAND MANUFACTURING BC16-8-6-A worldwide?
