In the field of medical technology, closed-loop active implantables have revolutionized the way we approach the treatment of various medical conditions. These remarkable devices, such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, and neurostimulators, rely on intricate systems to function properly. One crucial component that often goes unnoticed but plays a pivotal role in their operation is...
Design engineers have long employed gimbals, pods, and pan-tilt systems as a means to protect payloads. But gimbal design requirements are being driven by advances in technology, requiring increased precision and pointing stability. The Gimbal Seal Dilemma Gimbals rely on good sealing design and engineering to ensure that they are able to...
To perform at peak accuracy, the sensitive electronics inside gimbals and pods must be protected from the temperatures, pressures, and media they can encounter in air and space, on land, and at sea. This infographic will show you how the right seal can help you optimize sealing effectiveness in your gimbal and pod design,...
Watch this short video and see how a Bal Seal® spring-energized seal, with its extremely low coefficient of friction and wear-regulating canted coil spring energizer, enables more accurate, stiction-free oscillating and rotary operation. With our seal, you’ll finally be able to reduce friction and meet strict torque requirements.
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,...
