Ruland Manufacturing

Eighty years is a long time to be in business, and at Ruland we are proud to have reached that milestone in 2017. It all began in 1937 when 20-year-old Fred F. Ruland bought two screw machines at a junkyard for $50 each and merged the parts into a working unit.

In the mid-1970s the decision was made to devote all of their expertise to a product line, shaft collars and couplings. They had been making these products for nearly 40 years on a custom basis and had already developed a number of proprietary processes to ensure that they met application requirements. Soon, Ruland was known for having the best looking, best performing shaft collars and rigid couplings available.

Innovation and careful manufacturing continued thereafter and more proprietary processes such as special surface treatments, anti-vibration coupling hardware, and precision honing were developed to improve product appearance and performance. Product line expansion and a commitment to same day delivery led to a reputation for availability and service.

Their commitment to the values which brought 80 years of excellence continues. In the past several years we have expanded our line of metric shaft collars and added metric rigid couplings, step bore rigid couplings, and motion control couplings. All of these products are thoughtfully designed and carefully made in the tradition that makes us proud.
