Eclipse Engineering “On the Move”

Cliff • Jul 09, 2010

After 11 years in beautiful downtown Broomfield Colorado, Eclipse has finally moved to a permanent home.

Eclipse Engineering started out in an expansive 1750 Sq ft facility on Industrial Lane in 1999. At the time I thought of renting out some of the space as it seemed too big for our needs. In 2001, we purchased the soft seal side of Jemco Seal. Jemco was primarily a Colorado business and with that acquisition, we nearly doubled in size causing us to increase our floor space.

With our lease up, and the real estate market being what it was, we purchased a building in Erie, Colorado. We moved into a space a bit larger than before with the opportunity to expand 3 fold.  The Building is located “in the country” with a great view of the Front Range Colorado Rockies. We also are located at the Erie Airport, so if you want to fly in to visit, you could taxi up to the back door.

Your support over the past 11 years has allowed us the opportunity to continue to grow and better serve you.

Like any move, it always looks a lot better after the fact. We are still in the throes of re-building and improving our infrastructure. I’m guessing another 5 months or so ought to get us moved in. Until then, it seems every day we move something else.

At the same time we are increasing the number of operations we perform in house, allowing us to better serve your immediate needs.

Eclipse has built its business on responsiveness to the market place.  While we realize you have a choice in purchasing product, our goal is to make the decision a delightful experience working with us.

Thank you again for you support over the last decade.

Seal Terminology 101
By Doug 03 Oct, 2022
While the average person can probably recognize a rubber O-Ring, knowledge of advanced sealing devices remains a largely obscure field of knowledge. Eclipse is here to be the subject matter experts and guide you to the best sealing solution, but being familiar with some basic seal terminology will aid us in the process. The ability […]
Sealing 15,000 PSI at 300°F With a Large Extrusion Gap
By Doug 10 Aug, 2022
Eclipse serves dozens of industries and provides sealing solutions for applications on, off, and below the surface of the planet.  Each application has its own set of challenges whether it be manned space flight, surgical medical instruments, or high-volume automotive components. One industry that continually presents Eclipse with challenging sealing conditions is oil and gas. […]
Fillers That Improve PTFE’s Performance
By Doug 30 Jun, 2022
PTFE was discovered in the 1930s as an accidental byproduct of chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant production. It’s a synthetic compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine — a fluorocarbon. Its many unique properties make it highly attractive as a seal material. It possesses one of the lowest friction coefficients of any known material, is nearly 100% chemically […]
Cantilever V-Spring
By Doug 19 Apr, 2022
Shortly after the discovery and use of PTFE as a seal material, the need for a secondary energizing method became apparent.  Unlike rubber or urethane which possess elastic and spring-like properties, PTFE will not return to its original state once deformed. This is obviously not a desirable trait for sealing material, especially in dynamic sealing […]
