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...
If engineering challenges are keeping you from getting more out of your ventilator designs or retrofits, our Bal Seal® spring-energized seal could be just the solution you’re looking for. Check out this short video to find out why. The Bal Seal® meets requirements for biocompatibility (USP Class VI, ISO 1993-5) and auto-ignitability, while minimizing...
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical ventilators are playing a vital role in patient survival and recovery. It has never been more important to keep these machines running longer and more reliably. Choosing the right seal for design or retrofit can make a difference.
This short presentation examines the relationship between seal choice and pipettor equipment performance, and it addresses important design criteria, such as hardware surface finish and seal geometry. It also suggests some ways to avoid common sealing mistakes that can cost you time, money, and market share. Selecting Seals for Better Pipettors from BSEmarketing
Looking for a secret weapon that’ll take your multi-channel pipettor design to the next performance level? Check out this short video, and you’ll learn how a custom-engineered Bal Seal® spring-energized seal, with its optimal balance of low friction (<2 lbs) and sealing effectiveness, can promote more accurate, consistent volume delivery for >100,000 cycles. You’ll...
In arrays with 1 to 384 channels, multi-channel pipettors draw a slight vacuum to pull and dispense liquids at very precise volumes into a designated container, increasing the reproducibility and speed of tests and trials. Inaccurate dispensing can invalidate tests, resulting in lab downtime and lost profit.
To achieve big improvements in the performance of your industrial valves, you need to consider every little design detail. Right down to the seal. That’s why we’ve produced this short video. It offers some pointers on choosing seals for isolation, butterfly, ball, gate, and other valve types. It also addresses some common causes of...
