R


uland Manufacturing has acquired the assets of RoCom Couplings, a Santa Maria, California-based company specialising in beaming technology, including beam couplings, machined springs, and custom beamed components. The acquisition expands Ruland’s beam


coupling offerings and enhances its manufacturing capabilities to better serve customers requiring precision-engineered flexible couplings and custom machined solutions. By integrating RoCom’s expertise with


Ruland’s advanced manufacturing processes and stringent performance standards, Ruland customers will benefit from a broader selection of beamed solutions, while RoCom customers will see improved lead times and service. RoCom customers will also have access to Ruland’s expansive product line including: shaft collars, rigid couplings, six other styles of servo couplings, and universal joints. “This acquisition strengthens our ability to provide high-quality beam couplings and
