On October 6th, 2021, we’ll be kicking off our DesignLive webinar program with a free 30-minute session on sealing for medical devices. If you’ve been looking for ways to improve the performance and reliability of a surgical tool, pump, or any other type of medical device, you’ll want to register and mark your calendar...
Recently, a seasoned mechanical engineer at Motiv Space Systems told us, “When I work with you, I don’t have to think about seals.” That’s music to our ears, because it means we’re helping designers stay focused on bigger things – like landing a rover on Mars. But maybe you’re not quite ready to let...
In electronics manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceutical, medical, aerospace, and other industries, robots are programmed to perform dangerous, dirty, and/or repetitive tasks. Seals, which are used to protect arms, end effectors, actuators, and other parts, play a critical role in efficient robot operation. We’ve created this quick-reference graphic to help you choose seals that can...
In this session, originally presented on August 6, 2020 during the TechTalk segment of Informa’s BIOMEDevice virtual show, Bal Seal Engineering Business Development Director David Fogel talks about how components (including seals, springs, and contacts) represent “hidden opportunities” for performance improvement in surgical robot designs. He explores how they can be leveraged to...
In the valve engineering process, seal selection is critical. In fact, it can mean the difference between a good design, and a great one. That’s why we’ve created this short presentation. It examines the relationship between seal choice and valve performance, and it addresses important design criteria, such as hardware surface finish and seal...
If engineering challenges are keeping you from getting more out of your ventilator designs or retrofits, our Bal Seal® spring-energized seal could be just the solution you’re looking for. Check out this short video to find out why. The Bal Seal® meets requirements for biocompatibility (USP Class VI, ISO 1993-5) and auto-ignitability, while minimizing...
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical ventilators are playing a vital role in patient survival and recovery. It has never been more important to keep these machines running longer and more reliably. Choosing the right seal for design or retrofit can make a difference.
This short presentation examines the relationship between seal choice and pipettor equipment performance, and it addresses important design criteria, such as hardware surface finish and seal geometry. It also suggests some ways to avoid common sealing mistakes that can cost you time, money, and market share. Selecting Seals for Better Pipettors from BSEmarketing
Designing For Improved Semicon Equipment Performance from BSEmarketing Designing semiconductor equipment that maintains high levels of precision, speed, and uptime is one difficult job. With interference and contamination constantly threatening the success of your designs, selecting the right electrical conducting and EMI/RFI shielding components is critical.
