Product Description

The RULAND MANUFACTURING Bellows Coupling (MPN BC16-8MM-1/4"-A) is a clamp-on bellows shaft coupling for round shafts, featuring an 8 mm bore diameter 1 and a 1/4 in bore diameter 2 with a 1 in coupling outside diameter. It is constructed from stainless steel and has an inch to metric bore configuration with same bore dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RULAND MANUFACTURING BC16-8MM-1/4"-A bellows coupling used for?

This clamp-on bellows shaft coupling connects two rotating shafts with different bore sizes—8 mm and 1/4 in—in precision motion control applications. It compensates for misalignment while transmitting torque, commonly used in servo motors, encoders, and linear actuators in industrial automation.

What are the specifications of the RULAND MANUFACTURING BC16-8MM-1/4"-A bellows coupling?

The coupling has an 8 mm bore diameter 1 and a 1/4 in bore diameter 2, with a 1 in outside diameter. It is made of stainless steel, features a clamp-on design for round shafts, and has an inch-to-metric bore configuration with same bore dimensions. The manufacturer part number is BC16-8MM-1/4"-A.

Where to buy the RULAND MANUFACTURING BC16-8MM-1/4"-A bellows coupling worldwide?

3G Electric supplies the RULAND MANUFACTURING BC16-8MM-1/4"-A bellows coupling worldwide. As a global industrial equipment distributor since 1990, we handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your location. Contact us for availability and lead time.

How to install a RULAND MANUFACTURING clamp-on bellows coupling?

To install, clean both shaft ends and the coupling bores. Loosen the clamp screws, slide the coupling onto the shafts, align the equipment, then tighten the screws evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Ensure shafts are within specified misalignment limits to avoid damaging the bellows.
