Industrial Equipment

For more than 60 years, designers and manufacturers of industrial equipment have trusted our custom-engineered springs and seals to provide superior performance in the most demanding environments. In applications ranging from paper manufacturing to food processing, semiconductor fabrication to industrial robotics, our products help improve uptime and promote technological advances.

Products for Industrial Equipment

Bal Seal® Spring Energized Seal

Our seals are precision-machined from PTFE and other premium polymers, and they’re engineered to deliver longer service life and more equipment uptime. Their spring energizers ensure even, consistent wear, and their jacket materials can be customized to meet specific requirements in rotary, reciprocating, oscillating, and static applications.

Product Features

Controllable friction forces
Excellent media and temperature resistance
Wear-regulating spring energizer

Bal Spring® Canted Coil Spring

Our spring mechanically fastens, conducts electricity, and shields sensitive electronics from EMI/RFI. Its independent coils, which serve as multiple contact points for optimal current carrying capability, ensure consistent, reliable connection—even under shock and vibration.

Product Features

Superior conductivity & power density
Multifunctional for lighter, simpler designs
Customizable insertion/removal forces

Industrial Automation Applications

Robotic Joints

The low friction and wear resistance of Bal Seal® spring-energized seals help promote repeatability and accuracy over long periods.

End Effectors / Grippers

Bal Spring® canted coil springs latch and lock tools with repeatable, engineered forces, while ensuring reliable current delivery to motors.

Dispensing Equipment

Bal Seal® spring-energized seals made from FDA compliant materials maintain consistent pressure and precision.

Mixer Seals

Bal Seal® spring-energized seals protect motors from ingress of fluids and debris, and they seal in lubricants to prevent contamination.

Semiconductor Processing & Testing Applications

Cable Connectors

Bal Spring canted coil springs mechanically latch and shield against EMI/RFI in connectors, simplifying design and use.

PVD Chambers & Plasma Etch Equipment

Bal Spring® canted coil springs, installed around process chamber doors, offer excellent shielding against EMI/RFI.

Industry Achievements

Keeping It Clean

In PVD, plasma etch, and other operations, our Bal Seal® sheds less and reduces potential contamination for better yield. Our Bal Spring® stops EMI from affecting precise deposition processes.

Pouring the Drinks

Managing >10,000 gallons per hour, our seals keep industrial dispensing equipment productive and precise. Their FDA compatible jacket materials make them safe for use in all types of food service equipment.

Industrial Achievements- Drive Components in Extreme Pressure

Diving Deep

At 4,000 feet below sea level, ROVs are subjected to 1,700 psi. With their customizable materials and geometries, our seals protect drive components in these extreme pressures, and help designers reach new depths.
