Small Components, Big Performance Advantages
Although they’re often measured in millimeters, Bal Seal Engineering’s proven, precise seals, springs, and electrical contacts have a profound impact. They make medical implantables smaller and more functional, they simplify surgical device design, and they improve the accuracy of diagnostic instruments. They even protect spacecraft – like NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance – from environmental conditions that are literally out of this world.
Bal Seal® Spring-Energized Seals
Custom-engineered Bal Seal® spring-energized seals set new standards for performance and reliability in rotary, reciprocating, oscillating, and static/face service. They combine material science with innovative geometries and wear-reducing canted coil spring energizer technology to extend the life of your designs.
Bal Spring® Canted Coil Springs
Compact, versatile Bal Spring® canted coil springs are a proven solution for mechanical connecting, electrical conducting, and EMI/RFI shielding challenges. The size, simplicity, and multifunction capabilities of canted coil springs can help you reduce system complexity and weight while improving functionality.
Bal Contact® Electrical Contacts
Bal Contact® solutions effectively manage high, medium, and low current with minimal heat rise in a wide range of applications. Made from standard or implantable-grade/biocompatible metals, electrical contact springs can also be supplied in a system with seals for dielectric isolation.
