Robotic applications of Bal Seal Engineering line of seals, springs and contacts.
Precision machined from FDA compliant polymers and available in space-saving sizes, The Bal Seal® helps surgical robot designers meet the demand for smaller machines that deliver more precise haptic sensing and feedback. Our seal combines very low friction jacket materials with innovative geometries and a wear-reducing energizer to deliver superior sealing effectiveness AND smooth,...
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.
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...
Selecting the appropriate sealing solution is critical to ensure the robot performs as expected. For example, in many of our applications, we must balance friction requirements with sealing effectiveness. Do you have examples of robotic applications in which your products are used and what design challenges they address? Bal Seal Engineering, Inc. has...
Designing a robot that delivers consistent, long-term service and accuracy in demanding industrial environments is one tough job. But choosing the right seal can make it a lot easier. That’s why we’ve prepared this short presentation for you. It examines the relationship between seal choice and robot performance, and it addresses important design criteria,...
Providing superior protection against leakage and contamination in arms, drives, end effectors, and other robot applications, the low-friction Bal Seal® also eliminates stick-slip and promotes consistent, accurate movement. A proven solution for mechanical connecting, electrical conducting, and EMI/RFI shielding challenges, the Bal Spring® reduces system complexity while improving functionality.
