Ruland OD26/41-NL Oldham Coupling Disk Nylon 11 1-5/8″ (41.3mm)

Description

Product Overview

The Ruland OD26/41-NL Oldham coupling disk is engineered for demanding power transmission tasks where precision, durability, and noise reduction are paramount. Constructed from high‑performance Nylon 11, the disk provides inherent vibration damping, reducing wear on adjacent components and extending overall system life. Its zero‑backlash balanced design ensures smooth torque transfer, even at rotational speeds reaching 4,500 RPM. The disk features a 1‑5/8″ (41.3 mm) outer diameter, compatible with a wide range of hub configurations, and is sized to fit both inch and metric bore standards. The proprietary hub machining process creates a seamless interface between the hub and disk, minimizing friction and maximizing longevity. With a compact footprint of 3 × 1.5 × 0.6 inches and a lightweight profile of just 0.32 ounces, this coupling disk integrates effortlessly into tight spaces while delivering robust performance.

Usage

Designed for industrial and scientific environments, the Ruland Oldham coupling disk excels in applications such as conveyor systems, gear drives, pumps, and high‑speed machinery where alignment tolerances can vary. Its ability to accommodate up to 10 % parallel misalignment makes it ideal for installations where shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies are common. The nylon construction also provides excellent chemical resistance, allowing use in environments with exposure to oils, solvents, and other aggressive substances. Whether deployed in manufacturing plants, material handling equipment, or custom automation rigs, this coupling disk offers reliable torque transmission while acting as a mechanical fuse that protects downstream components from overload conditions. Users can pair the disk with a variety of hub options—including clamp, set‑screw, keyed, or keyless designs—to tailor the solution to specific mechanical requirements.

FAQ

What size hub does the OD26/41-NL disk fit?

The disk is designed for a 1‑5/8″ (41.3 mm) outer diameter and can be paired with inch, metric, keyed, or keyless hub configurations, providing flexibility for various shaft sizes.

Can the coupling handle shock loads?

Yes. The coupling acts as a mechanical fuse, protecting downstream equipment by slipping under torque overload conditions, which helps prevent damage from sudden shock loads.

Is the nylon material suitable for harsh chemical environments?

Nylon 11 offers excellent chemical resistance, making the coupling suitable for applications where exposure to oils, solvents, or other aggressive substances is expected.

What is the maximum misalignment the coupling can tolerate?

The coupling can accommodate up to 10 % parallel misalignment relative to the hub outer diameter, allowing for significant shaft offset without compromising performance.

Does the product comply with environmental regulations?

Yes, the Ruland OD26/41-NL coupling disk is RoHS3 and REACH compliant, ensuring it meets strict environmental and safety standards.
