In valves used to manage cryogenic LNG, typical seals can shrink and extrude. This can lead to costly, and often catastrophic leakage. In the podcast episode below, we’ll explore common complications in cryogenic applications and how to optimize your cryogenic seal design. Cryogenic Sealing Challenges One of the greatest obstacles to effective cryogenic sealing...
To maximize gimbal performance, it’s essential to use a gimbal seal that protects your equipment in harsh environments and enables precision targeting in extreme conditions such has high speed, high vibration, and adverse weather conditions. With the Bal Seal® spring-energized seal, you can finally achieve the elusive balance between friction and sealing effectiveness. Our...
Our Bal Seal® spring-energized seals are custom-engineered for HPLC plunger pumps, providing reliable service at pressures from aspiration to 20,000 psi (1379 bar) at 70 ºF (21 ºC), while providing superior protection against contamination. Download our HPLC plunger pump application bulletin to learn more. What is HPLC? High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a technique...
Seals play a critical role in the accurate and proper functioning of HPLC and UHPLC pumps. Various factors can impact the success of HPLC pump sealing, so it helps to understand how the type of liquid chromatography you’re working with can affect seal design recommendations. The presentation below will provide a brief overview of:...
Design engineers have long employed gimbals, pods, and pan-tilt systems as a means to protect payloads. But gimbal design requirements are being driven by advances in technology, requiring increased precision and pointing stability. The Gimbal Seal Dilemma Gimbals rely on good sealing design and engineering to ensure that they are able to...
To perform at peak accuracy, the sensitive electronics inside gimbals and pods must be protected from the temperatures, pressures, and media they can encounter in air and space, on land, and at sea. This infographic will show you how the right seal can help you optimize sealing effectiveness in your gimbal and pod design,...
