Dynamic seals are used in many areas of robotics, including motors, actuators, and end effectors. But one of the most critical applications is in the robotic arm, which typically performs repetitive tasks in assembly, packaging, and other industrial operations. In most robotic platforms, the arm gets the work done, and it’s often subject to...
The seal you choose for your medical ventilator design or retrofit can have a big impact on its performance. And a custom-engineered seal, one that’s designed to meet your exact requirements, can significantly improve service life, accuracy, and consistency. This short but informative presentation examines the relationship between seal choice and the performance of...

It can provide reduced maintenance, lower operating costs, and biocompatibility & FDA compliance. Bal Seal® spring-energized seal improves performance and accuracy in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis machines...
Looking for a secret weapon that’ll take your multi-channel pipettor design to the next performance level? Check out this short video, and you’ll learn how a custom-engineered Bal Seal® spring-energized seal, with its optimal balance of low friction (<2 lbs) and sealing effectiveness, can promote more accurate, consistent volume delivery for >100,000 cycles. You’ll...
In arrays with 1 to 384 channels, multi-channel pipettors draw a slight vacuum to pull and dispense liquids at very precise volumes into a designated container, increasing the reproducibility and speed of tests and trials. Inaccurate dispensing can invalidate tests, resulting in lab downtime and lost profit.
To achieve big improvements in the performance of your industrial valves, you need to consider every little design detail. Right down to the seal. That’s why we’ve produced this short video. It offers some pointers on choosing seals for isolation, butterfly, ball, gate, and other valve types. It also addresses some common causes of...
