Performance requirements for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) equipment—including clinical, hematology, and urine analyzers—are outpacing capabilities. Increasingly, the IVD industry is seeking equipment that lasts at least three years or more compared with the existing standard one-year maintenance program. This demand for extended service life and less-frequent maintenance cycles is forcing design engineers to take a closer look...
Dialysis machine design is critical- nearly 3.4 million patients worldwide require regular dialysis treatment. These machines filter blood outside the body while controlling temperature, dialysate levels, and circulation.
Downhole tools and equipment are crucial to the success of the drilling process. These tools help monitor and direct the drill string. They also reach great depths, and cover long distances. Read through this presentation for information on how to improve sealing performance in these downhole tools.
Foothill Ranch, Calif. – U.S.A. – September 17, 2019 – An updated technical catalog published by Bal Seal Engineering provides designers with detailed information about how spring-energized seals can be used to address rotary sealing challenges. The 32-page catalog, titled “Bal Seal® Spring-Energized Seal Solutions for Rotary Applications,” describes how the company’s broad range...
If you’re looking for ways to improve the performance and reliability of your downhole tool designs, you need to check out this short video. In just thirty seconds, you’ll learn how the Bal Seal® spring-energized seal helps deliver longer service life and reliable performance in LWD, MWD, mud pulsers, rotary steerables, and other critical...
When designing aviation, space, and defense equipment, finding the elusive balance between low friction and sealing effectiveness is critical to maintain high equipment performance. Check out this short presentation, where we leverage more than 60 years of application engineering experience to share common design mistakes and pitfalls to avoid as you prepare to seal...
Rotary seals are a critical link in the success of rotary steerables, tractor tools, MWD/LWD tools, and mud pulsers. This equipment allows engineers to monitor and direct the drill string, and if they fail it can mean lost profit and stalled well development.
Gimbal seals protect sophisticated radar, targeting, and imaging equipment in harsh environments. Some of these environments occur in aircraft, shipboard, and land-based applications. In this document from Bal Seal Engineering, we examine which features and benefits are necessary in effective gimbal seals. Specifically, we’ll take a look at how the Bal Seal® spring-energized seal...
Our Rotary Seal Catalog provides information on custom-engineered high performance PTFE rotary lip seals.
Spring-energized seals are critical components in aviation, space, and defense design. It’s the sealing solution that balances friction and sealing effectiveness so your equipment meets performance standards and increases uptime.
