To maximize industrial robot performance – and the performance of subsystems like robotic motors, actuators, and end effectors – it’s essential to use a seal that guards against leakage and ingress while promoting consistent, accurate movement. In this presentation, we examine the relationship between seal choice and robot performance, and address important robotic sealing...
As the adoption of industrial robot technology continues to grow, so does demand for robots that can operate longer between maintenance cycles with higher levels of consistency and accuracy. To meet this demand, engineers are paying closer attention to the robotic sealing and connecting components they choose for their designs. By using custom-engineered components,...
In valves used to manage cryogenic LNG, typical seals can shrink and extrude. This can lead to costly, and often catastrophic leakage. In the podcast episode below, we’ll explore common complications in cryogenic applications and how to optimize your cryogenic seal design. Cryogenic Sealing Challenges One of the greatest obstacles to effective cryogenic sealing...
If you’re developing an electrical connector for a defense or commercial aviation application, contact springs can help address any size, weight, and power (SWaP) consumption challenges you may face. Our Bal Spring® is at work in some of today’s most advanced land, sea, and air platforms. It has been helping designers like you achieve...
Electrical connectors often employ separate mechanical latching and EMI/RFI shielding components, which adds to their size and weight. In the presentation below, we’ll discuss how contact springs can deliver significant benefit for use in electrical connector applications by reducing size, weight and power consumption challenges. Electrical Connector Design Challenges Electrical connectors consist of a...
To maximize gimbal performance, it’s essential to use a gimbal seal that protects your equipment in harsh environments and enables precision targeting in extreme conditions such has high speed, high vibration, and adverse weather conditions. With the Bal Seal® spring-energized seal, you can finally achieve the elusive balance between friction and sealing effectiveness. Our...
Our Bal Seal® spring-energized seals are custom-engineered for HPLC plunger pumps, providing reliable service at pressures from aspiration to 20,000 psi (1379 bar) at 70 ºF (21 ºC), while providing superior protection against contamination. Download our HPLC plunger pump application bulletin to learn more. What is HPLC? High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a technique...
Seals play a critical role in the accurate and proper functioning of HPLC and UHPLC pumps. Various factors can impact the success of HPLC pump sealing, so it helps to understand how the type of liquid chromatography you’re working with can affect seal design recommendations. The presentation below will provide a brief overview of:...
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...
