Friction Bearing Joints Provide Variety for Packaging Solutions

June 30, 2022
Ruland's offerings are available in a variety of sizes, styles and materials.

Friction bearing universal joints are available in a variety of sizes, styles and materials, giving packaging equipment designers the widest range of standard universal joints to choose from. Components are manufactured to tight tolerances for higher accuracy, torque capabilities and durability when compared to commodity-style universal joints. Components are selectively heat-treated and ground for higher strength compared to competitor friction-bearing universal joints, giving them a precise and prolonged life.

Single universal joints are best suited for space-constrained applications with angular misalignment up to 45 deg. Double universal joints are designed for applications with a wide distance between shafts or those in need of extreme angular misalignment accommodation up to 90 deg. The friction-bearing universal joints from can be equipped with nitrile boot covers for abrasion and oil resistance.
