Since 1946, the Name Von Ruden has been significant in the design and manufacture of drive components, beginning with the right angle gear boxes and parallel shaft-mounted reducers.  In 1973, the Von Ruden Company was purchased by Washington Scientific Industries, and the product line was combined with WSI Rol-Seal and Axial Vane hydraulic motors, motor planetarys and brakes.

Today, Von Ruden Manufacturing is a prime source of drive componets, combining the best elements of quality, pricing and delivery in a product line constantly added to and refined to meet ever-increasing performance requirements in every industry.
