When designing orthopedic and medical devices, engineers often encounter the same basic challenge: they need to connect two mating surfaces in a repeatable, predictable fashion. While this may sound like a straight-forward task, there are hundreds of ways to accomplish it. Among the traditional fastening methodologies are: ball detents snap rings molded c-clamps quick...
If you’re developing an electrical connector for a defense or commercial aviation application, contact springs can help address any size, weight, and power (SWaP) consumption challenges you may face. Our Bal Spring® is at work in some of today’s most advanced land, sea, and air platforms. It has been helping designers like you achieve...
Electrical connectors often employ separate mechanical latching and EMI/RFI shielding components, which adds to their size and weight. In the presentation below, we’ll discuss how contact springs can deliver significant benefit for use in electrical connector applications by reducing size, weight and power consumption challenges. Electrical Connector Design Challenges Electrical connectors consist of a...
Streamlining Neuromodulation Device Design: The Benefits of Turnkey Implantable Connector Systems In the rapidly advancing field of neuromodulation, where innovative solutions hold the potential to transform lives, the importance of efficient and reliable device design cannot be overstated. One critical aspect of neuromodulation device design is the choice of implantable electrical connector components....
At Bal Seal Engineering, we help designers reach new heights and achieve out-of-this-world objectives in space exploration and orbital satellite installation. We’re proud of our contributions to the success of countless critical missions, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. These days, NASA isn’t the only organization with its eye to the skies....
With the Bal Spring canted coil spring, you can achieve a higher level of protection for your semicon processing and test equipment designs, while improving yield and simplifying maintenance for your end user. Our spring lets you do more with less—effectively shielding against EMI, managing high current with low heat rise, and latching components...
Creating heart assist devices that help bridge the gap between short and long term care is a tough job. But choosing the right electrical contact can make it a lot easier. That’s why we’ve prepared this short presentation for you. It examines the relationship between electrical contact selection and the performance of VAD devices....
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.
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...
