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...
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...
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...
When you fasten parts of your retractors, fusion and fixation systems, debridement tools, joint replacement systems, and other medical instruments/devices with canted coil springs, improved cleanability and functionality can be achieved. Check out this short presentation, and learn how you can use the spring to deliver robust, reusable designs that work better. Using Canted...
Bal Seal Engineering, Inc. is a global provider of custom-engineered sealing, connecting, conducting, and EMI/RFI shielding solutions for medical devices. Our core technology, the Bal Spring®, is a versatile component that functions independently or in combination with precision polymer sealing and metal retaining elements to enhance the performance and reliability of surgical instruments, orthopedic...
The engineers of today are designing medical devices for the surgeons of tomorrow. So why use yesterday’s components? Our spring outperforms ball detents, clips, and other outdated fastening technologies, and its ability to conduct electricity and shield against EMI enables you to do more with less. Best of all, the Bal Spring is verified...
The Bal Spring® canted coil spring is a 3-in-1 solution to mechanical connecting, electrical conducting and EMI/RFI shielding challenges in equipment used for semiconductor fabrication and testing.
Designing For Improved Semicon Equipment Performance from BSEmarketing Designing semiconductor equipment that maintains high levels of precision, speed, and uptime is one difficult job. With interference and contamination constantly threatening the success of your designs, selecting the right electrical conducting and EMI/RFI shielding components is critical.
