Bal Seal Engineering: Custom Seals, Springs & Connectors

Bal Seal Engineering’s three core product lines deliver complete solutions for critical applications. Our spring-energized seals, canted coil springs, and electrical connectors share the same advanced spring technology, providing superior performance across aerospace, medical, and industrial applications.

Proven

Trusted by engineers and OEMs to protect critical equipment used everywhere, from deep sea to deep space.

Versatile

Delivers superior rotary sealing, reciprocating sealing, oscillating, static, and face sealing performance across all applications. Custom seal sizes range from 0.020 in. to 120 in. ID for precision sealing applications.

Custom spring-energized PTFE seals combining advanced polymer materials with canted coil spring technology for superior sealing performance.

High-performance

Promotes even jacket wear and resists breakdown to extend seal service life by up to 150% over standard sealing solutions.

Predictable

Combines custom PTFE polymers, backup elements, and locking rings with wear-regulating spring energizers to resist extrusion and provide more uptime, less maintenance.

Adaptable

Compensates for large tolerances and surface irregularities, ensuring multi-point electrical contact for improved reliability, longer equipment life.

Precise

Enables accurate control of insertion and removal forces, from just a few ounces to 1000s of pounds.

Canted coil springs providing consistent force for sealing and mechanical connecting applications, efficiently managing electrical current in conducting applications, and protecting sensitive electronics from the harmful effects of electromagnetic interference, or EMI. Performing across wide temperature ranges.

Multi-functional

Mechanically connects, conducts current, grounds, and shields against EMI/RFI. Simplifies designs, reduces weight, and even dissipates heat.

Robust

Maintains consistent insertion and removal forces over 1000s of cycles. Resists compression set better than fingerstock, mesh.

Ultra-Reliable

 Canted coil spring technology ensures multi-point electrical connectivity and redundant power/signal paths. Compensates for tolerance variations and exhibits extremely low contact resistance throughout operational life.

Compact

Employs springs from 0.5mm (.020 in) and housings with pitch of ~2mm.  Supports smaller, more functional devices.

Spring-loaded electrical connectors that employ canted coil spring technology for reliable multi-point connectivity in demanding environments.

Proven

Used in millions of medical implantable devices worldwide, it’s the designer’s choice for applications that simply cannot fail.

Flexible

Can be supplied with pre-tested seals, creating a turnkey system that eliminates sourcing and speeds product development.
