Bal Seal® spring-energized reciprocating seals

We offer numerous designs and materials uniquely suitable for a wide range of reciprocating applications. Our seals offer a high degree of chemical compatibility, and they are capable of handling viscous and abrasive fluids. The low-friction seals are energized with a Bal Spring® canted coil spring that compensates for lip wear, thermal cycling and tolerance variations. 

High Pressure Seal Applications

For demanding ultra high pressure applications, we offer the Enduris™ high-pressure sealing system. Enduris is the first seal proven to deliver consistent, long-term performance in at pressures of 22,000 psi and higher.
