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 while transmitting torque. It is commonly used in encoders, stepper motors, and precision positioning equipment across industrial automation, packaging, and robotics applications.

What are the specifications of the Ruland RLC8-4-2-A slit coupling?

The Ruland RLC8-4-2-A is a long clamp-on slit coupling with a 1/4 in bore diameter 1 and a 1/8 in bore diameter 2. Its overall length is 25/32 in. This inch-series coupling is designed for zero-backlash torque transmission and accommodates parallel, angular, and axial misalignment.

Where to buy Ruland Manufacturing couplings in worldwide?

3G Electric supplies Ruland Manufacturing couplings like the RLC8-4-2-A to customers worldwide. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your facility. Contact our team for a quote and lead time on this precision coupling.

How to select the correct Ruland slit coupling for my 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 type (parallel, angular, axial). For the RLC8-4-2-A, ensure one shaft is 1/4 in and the other is 1/8 in. Consult Ruland's technical data for load ratings.
