Energy Management

Around the world, designers and manufacturers of equipment used to produce, store, and distribute energy trust our springs and seals to provide superior performance in the most demanding environments.

Products for Energy

Bal Spring® Canted Coil Spring

Our spring mechanically fastens, conducts electricity, and shields sensitive electronics from EMI/RFI. Its independent coils, which serve as multiple contact points for optimal current carrying capability, ensure consistent, reliable connection—even under shock and vibration.

Product Features

Superior conductivity and power density
Compact, space-saving profile
Multifunctional for lighter, simpler designs
Customizable insertion/removal forces

Bal Seal® Spring Energized Seal

Our seals are precision-machined from PTFE and other premium polymers, and they’re engineered to deliver longer service life and more equipment uptime. Their spring energizers ensure even, consistent wear. Their jacket materials can be customized, and elements (such as locking rings and backups) can be added to meet specific requirements.

Product Features

Controllable friction forces
Excellent media and temperature resistance
Wear-regulating spring energizer

Oil & Gas Applications

Progressive Cavity Pumps

Bal Seal® LKS seals prevent potential mechanical and environmental damage by providing effective, predictable sealing.

Perforating Guns

In oil and natural gas fracking, Bal Spring® canted coil springs ensure reliable, consistent current flow between tool parts.

Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution Applications

Cable Terminals

Bal Spring® canted coil springs electrically connect lengths of cable at the termination.

Current Transformers

Bal Spring® canted coil springs isolate current and ground components with large mechanical tolerances.

Disconnects

Bal Spring® canted coil springs provide stable electrical contact resistance and connection for rotating parts.

Generators

Bal Spring ® canted coil springs ensure effective electrical contact in the slip ring assembly.

Pitch Drive Gear

Bal Seal® spring-energized seals exclude debris and keep clean lubricants in the wheel bearing.

Cable Connectors

Bal Spring® canted coil springs carry high current and allow for more compact connector package design.

Connectors

Bal Spring® canted coil springs mechanically latch and conduct electricity in connectors.

Energy Industry Achievements

Energy Achievements- Reaching Near-Zero Emissions

Achieving Near-Zero Emissions

Each year, oil and gas operations emit >48M metric tons of methane. Our Bal Seal® helps stop these fugitive emissions by supporting valve designs that surpass API 622, API 641, and ISO 15848 standards.

Measuring Up to NORSOK

The Norwegian Oil Industry Association sets some of world’s toughest standards for oilfield sealing. Our PTFE and PEEK seal materials comply with NORSOK M-710 which evaluates H₂S performance.

Validating With KEMA

Respected test authority KEMA subjected our Bal Spring® to rigorous short-circuit current exposure and cycling. The spring withstood 65,000 amps, confirming our own internal calculations.
