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...
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.
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...
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...
In the valve engineering process, seal selection is critical. In fact, it can mean the difference between a good design, and a great one. That’s why we’ve created this short presentation. It examines the relationship between seal choice and valve performance, and it addresses important design criteria, such as hardware surface finish and seal...
