Watch this short video and see how a Bal Seal® spring-energized seal can help you meet the demand for smaller surgical robots with more precise haptic sensing and feedback capabilities. With its low friction FDA compliant jacket material, innovative geometry, and wear-reducing energizer, Bal Seal® delivers superior protection against leakage while promoting smooth,...
It’s not always easy to see the link between seals and overall equipment performance. But it’s there. We’ve designed this infographic to illustrate how the right seal can help designers answer the demand for smaller, more precise robots that amplify surgeon performance and improve patient outcomes.
At Bal Seal Engineering, we help designers reach new heights and achieve out-of-this-world objectives in space exploration and orbital satellite installation. We’re proud of our contributions to the success of countless critical missions, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. These days, NASA isn’t the only organization with its eye to the skies....
If you missed our DesignLive Medical webinar when we hosted it on October 6, 2021, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. You can check out this 30-minute, information-packed session for designers of surgical tools, pumps, and other critical equipment on your own time. Highlights include: Reducing friction for longer device life Choosing the right...
The Bal Seal provides consistently low friction for more than 1 million cycles to meet demanding PM requirements. Precision-machined from PTFE or polyethylene materials, our seal is compatible with the wide variety of solvents and buffers used in (U)HPLC equipment. The seal’s Bal Spring energizer, with its individual canted coils, provides consistent force that...
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...
We’re an engineering company, and we share your love for breaking things down to their most essential elements. After all, what better way is there to learn about form, function, and potential performance limitations? That engineering mindset is what motivated us to create and launch a new website feature dedicated to seal materials....
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...
You’re constantly challenged to design life-saving dialysis machines that run longer and more reliably while delivering precise levels of dialysate. The Bal Seal® spring-energized seal can help. 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...
