Ruland Aluminium 6-Beam Flexible Clamp Coupler 38.1 mm OD 16 mm x 10 mm Bore, 57.2 mm Length, 6000 RPM FCMR38-16-10-A

Ruland FCMR38-16-10-A is a precision-machined flexible coupler designed for mechanical power transmission applications requiring high performance and reliability. Crafted from a single piece of 7075 aluminium bar stock sourced exclusively from North American mills, this coupler offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and low inertia, enhancing dynamic response in servo motor systems.

This six beam clamp-style coupling features two sets of three spiral cuts that increase torque capacity, reduce windup, and enable larger coupling sizes compared to single or four beam designs. Its zero-backlash design ensures precise torque transfer without lost motion, making it ideal for applications involving lead screws and servo motors.

The coupler supports a maximum shaft speed of 6000 RPM and maintains performance under angular misalignment up to 3°, parallel offset of 0.76 mm, and axial misalignment of 0.38 mm. The balanced construction reduces vibration at high rotational speeds, contributing to enhanced system longevity and stability.

Equipped with Nypatch® anti-vibration hardware, the coupler prevents galling and ensures repeatable screw installation with strong holding power. The hardware uses metric M5 screws compliant with relevant standards, supporting reliable mechanical connections.

Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 107°C, making the coupler suitable for a wide variety of industrial environments. The coupler is intended for use in light duty power transmission tasks, including applications such as coupling servo motors to lead screws in automation and mechanical systems.
