Bal Seal® large diameter spring-energized seals

Our Bal Seal® spring-energized large diameter seals offer big performance advantages in critical equipment. Designed to handle slow-speed rotary and reciprocating applications, our one-piece seals provide OEM designers and end users with excellent resistance to wear, extrusion and chemicals — all of which translates into more uptime and profitability. Our low-friction seals are energized with a Bal Spring® canted coil spring, which promotes even wear and prolongs service life.
