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.
With the Bal Spring canted coil spring, you can achieve a higher level of protection for your semicon processing and test equipment designs, while improving yield and simplifying maintenance for your end user. Our spring lets you do more with less—effectively shielding against EMI, managing high current with low heat rise, and latching components...
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...
We’ve developed some great new resources for electrical contacts in heart assist devices, and we’d like to share them with you. If any of these get you thinking about how our Bal Conn® and SYGNUS® contacts could help you improve the performance and reliability of your VAD, pMCS, or catheter device, just call or...
Creating heart assist devices that help bridge the gap between short and long term care is a tough job. But choosing the right electrical contact can make it a lot easier. That’s why we’ve prepared this short presentation for you. It examines the relationship between electrical contact selection and the performance of VAD, pMCS,...
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...
The Bal Conn® electrical contact and the SYGNUS® implantable contact system deliver low electrical resistance (as low as 10 milliohms in some sizes) and minimal heat rise for maximum power efficiency and patient safety. Our components are helping designers redefine “temporary” circulatory support by enabling implantation for longer recovery periods.
