Ruland OD8/13-AT Oldham Coupling Disk.

Ruland OD8/13-AT is an Oldham coupling disk designed to fit hubs with an OD of 0.500″ (12.7mm).

It is a component of a three-piece design consisting of two anodized aluminum or stainless steel hubs press fit onto a center disk.

This three-piece design allows for a highly customizable coupling that easily combines clamp or set screw hubs with inch, metric, keyed, and keyless bores.

OD8/13-AT is made from acetal for zero-backlash and high torsional stiffness.

Oldham couplings can accommodate all forms of misalignment and are especially useful in applications with high parallel misalignment (up to 10% of the coupling OD).

They operate with low bearing loads protecting sensitive system components such as bearings and have a balanced design for reduced vibration at speeds up to 6,000 RPM.

OD8/13-AT is RoHS3 and REACH compliant.

Ruland OD8/13-AT Oldham Coupling Disk

Carefully made by Ruland in Marlborough, MA, Oldham couplings are comprised of two hubs pressed fit with either an acetal or nylon disk.

Oldham couplings disengage if the disc breaks, acting as a mechanical fuse.

Well-suited for handling large amounts of parallel misalignment.

Acetal Oldham coupling inserts are zero-backlash and electrically isolating. Maximum is 4,500 RPM. RoHS and Reach compliant.

Also called a Oldham coupling insert, disk, or disc.

Installation Instructions

Align the bores of the coupling on the shafts that are to be joined and determine if the misalignment parameters are within the limits of the coupling.(Angular Misialignment: 0.5 deg, Parallel Misalignment: 0.004 in (0.10 mm ), Axial Motion: 0.002 in (0.05 mm )
Rotate the hubs on the shaft so the drive tenons are located 90° from each other.
Place a torque disk so one groove fits over the drive tenons of a hub and center the disk by hand.
Insert a shim with the thickness of the coupling’s axial motion rating into the groove of the torque disk.
Slide the tenons of the second hub into the mating groove in the disk until it touches the shim stock.
Fully tighten the screw(s) on each hub to the recommended seating torque using a hex wrench.
Remove the shim stock to leave a small gap between the top of the drive tenons and the torque disk to allow for axial movement.
