Spring materials include MP35N® and Pt-lr 80/20.
Bal Seal KC31X Seal Series - Incorporating a metal-locking-ring retention system, and resistant to surgical, sterilization and oral fluids plus bearing grease, the KC31X Series is used in medical devices such as orthopedic burring tools and dental hand drills.
PTFE Rotary Seal Line - With its five major design profiles, this line of compact rotary seals is designed to cover an array of operating PV conditions in analytical device applications. A patented canted-coil design increases seal performance/life, while a metal retaining ring enables secure, low-insertion force installation.
