This article will advise on high pressure liquid chromatography pump design considerations that can help engineers meet industry pressure demands of 20 000psi and above. Challenges of Designing a High Pressure Pump For the past three decades designers of critical liquid chromatography (LC) pumps have been witnessing a steady increase in demand for machines...
Enhancing Precision: The Critical Role of Effective Sealing in Powered Surgical Tools In the high-stakes world of surgery, precision and reliability are paramount. Imagine a surgeon delicately performing a procedure with a powered surgical tool—a scene where every movement, every incision, can be a matter of life and death. From electric drills to ultrasonic...
The market for military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also commonly referred to as unmanned aerial systems (UAS), has seen major growth over the past decade. As a critical element of defense, UAV and UAS systems place a high priority on reliability. Ensuring that reliability means that critical factors such as friction and leakage are...
The Bal Seal® spring-energized seal provides superior sealing performance in a range of pressures, temperatures, and media. This is ideal when designing a pump for clinical chemistry analyzers because it will prevent leaking and prolong service life. Check out the infographic below to learn about potential issues you may face when designing a clinical...
Designing clinical chemistry analyzers that deliver consistent, long-term service, efficiency, and accuracy is one tough job. But choosing the right seal can make it a lot easier. That’s why we’ve prepared the short presentation below. It examines the relationship between seal selection and the performance of hematology, urinalysis, and other analyzer types. Additionally, it...
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...
Designing a valve that performs consistently in the cryogenic temperatures, high pressures, and thermal cycling of LNG is one tough job. But choosing the right cryogenic seal can make it a lot easier. The presentation below examines the relationship between seal choice and LNG valve performance, and it addresses important design criteria, such as...
The top 2 reasons for failure in LNG (liquefied natural gas) valves are low temperatures and high pressures. To defend your designs against them, it is essential to incorporate the right type of cryogenic seal into your valve design. The infographic below identifies the unique challenges of sealing in cryogenic valves, and reveals important...
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,...
