Bal Seal Solutions for Aircraft Applications

This animation features the use of Bal Seal Canted-coil spring and PTFE seal combinations, Bal Shield EMI shielding spring elements, and Bal Contact electrically conductive springs in five different aircraft applications The first segment begins by zooming into the aircraft's fuselage to reveal a set of four channels, or "gutters" used to hold cables in place along the interior The gutter sections, which are spaced to afford for expansion and contraction of the fuselage caused by fluctuations in temperature and pressure, are tethered by conductive cables that are held in place with precision-engineered Canted-coil springs As the animation progresses, the viewer is transported to the cabin area, where a passenger uses the touch screen on an in-flight entertainment system Behind the screen, a data cable is shielded against electromagnetic interference EMI by a Bal Shield spring element Other segments of the animation illustrate the performance of Bal Seal PTFE seal and spring combinations in a windscreen wiper motor assembly and a hydraulic pressure overflow tank within the landing gear assembly

  • Clever Seam Design Makes the Coiled Pin Perfect for Hinges One of the more efficient ways to make a hinge uses coiled spring pins. These are manufactured with a seam which is better for hinges than the gap or slot of slotted spring pins. The seam is inherent to coiled pins because they are rolled with more than one wrap of material. This white paper [...]
  • Encoder Outputs Shouldn’t Fail Seems obvious, doesn’t it, that the heartbeat of your process shouldn’t stop, leaving you without speed or distance feedback? If you wanted open loop performance, you wouldn’t have installed an encoder at all! But outputs do stop working, for many OEMs and industrial users, leaving them with a complex troubleshooting problem: Where did their encoder [...]
