Ruland Manufacturing and Belden Universal have agreed to further cooperation by offering universal joints from Belden through Ruland¡¯s eCommerce platform. Ruland will stock and make to order a wide variety of friction- and needle-bearing universal joints in alloy and stainless steel. The addition of universal joints gives Ruland a more complete power transmission offering to complement its existing line of zero-backlash couplings including rigid, beam, bellows, controlflex, disc, jaw, slit, and oldham couplings.
The universal joints will be available through Ruland¡¯s eCommerce platform, giving users access to 2D and 3D CAD files, full product specifications, live chat t
ech support with application specialists, pricing and availability. Along with inventory on the most common sizes, Ruland will use its flexible manufacturing capabilities to make to order non-inventoried products to give Ruland and Belden customers greater than industry standard service levels.
¡°Ruland and Belden have jointly owned an office in Germany, PTMotion, for more than ten years. This is a natural expansion of our relationship together to provide a more expansive product range for Ruland customers,¡± says Bill Hewitson, president of Ruland.
Nick Sainati, general manager of Belden, comments, ¡°Belden is excited to cooperate more closely with Ruland and have them as a distribution and remanufacturing partner for our standard universal joints.¡±
