Ruland Bellows, 15mm Outside Diameter, 3 mm, 5 mm Bore, 27.3mm Length Bellows Coupling

The RS PRO series of carbon film axial leaded resistors offer excellent long term stability and feature standard solder-plated copper leads. The carbon film is the most common axial leaded resistor which is used for applications where a very good tolerance and temperature coefficient are not necessary.

Available in resistances from 1 Ohm to 9.1 mOhm
0.25W power rating
5% tolerance
Resistor body 2.3 mm in diameter, 6.3 mm in length
Carbon film construction
Long-term stability
Solder plated copper leads

Carbon composition resistors are made from a moulded carbon powder that has been mixed with a phenolic resin to bind and create a uniform resistive body. It is then surrounded in an insulating case after attaching end leads.

The power rating of a resistor describes the amount of power that the resistor can dissipate safely.

Each of the colour bands has a specific meaning. The first two colours give the base value of the resistor, the next gives the multiplier and the final band the tolerance. If a resistor has five bands, it is a more precise resistor, in which the first three bands represent the base values, and the fourth and fifth represent the multiplier and tolerance respectively.

RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice. Trusted by engineers all over the world, every part of every RS PRO product has been rigorously tested against demanding industry standards; they’re only given the RS PRO Seal of Approval if we’re confident of their exceptional quality, which means you can be confident too.

The Ruland High stiffness D-Bore bellows coupling allows for positive drive in applications where the coupling can not slip. It has fewer convolutions than comparably sized high misalignment styles allowing for increased torsional stiffness making it the ideal choice for precision positioning applications. It is comprised of two anodized aluminium hubs and a stainless steel bellows for lightweight and low inertia.

RoHS3 and REACH compliant
Balanced design for reduced vibration at high speeds up to 10000 RPM
Hardware is metric and tests beyond DIN 912 12.9 standards
Thin walls of the bellows are able to flex while remaining rigid under torsional loads

A comprehensive range of high stability carbon film resistors qualified and tested to the requirements of IEC 115 and IEC 115-2. The ruggedised welded cap and lead method of manufacture provides a considerable strength and resistance to damage. The coating materials and the colour bands are epoxy resin and are highly resistant to solvents, abrasion and chipping. Improvements in materials and processing have allowed the rated power to be improved. Excellent stability against changes in load conditions or moisture levels, with a low noise level and high reliability make these carbon film resistors suitable for a wide range of applications. Rated at 70°C in free air mounted horizontally. Climatic category 55/155/56.
