Sealing solutions custom-engineered by Bal Seal Engineering, Inc. continue to ensure the safe and reliable operation of a broad range of military and aerospace/defense equipment. This brief animation highlights just a few examples. In the first sequence, Bal Seal's low-friction spring-energized seal protects sensitive optoelectronics inside a helicopter gimbal, or "pod." The second sequence illustrates how custom face seals, energized with precision Canted-coil™ springs, keep the optics in a rifle scope from getting damaged by seawater and harsh environmental conditions. And in the final sequence, a Bal Seal K-Series™ seal within the aileron actuator of a Reaper UAV keeps lubricants in and contaminants out.
