Eclipse in Print

admin • Jul 23, 2013

Thanks to our neighbors, Eclipse was given the opportunity to create our first ever print advertisement to be featured in the very first issue of Spirit of Flight Center Magazine. The Spirit of Flight Center is a local museum dedicated to the display of rare aviation artifacts. If you have a love for aviation and are in Colorado, it’s definitely something fun to see.

In our ad, we decided to feature a very simple image to outline exactly what we specialize in here at Eclipse. That focus was on custom designs for high tech applications, exactly to meet the needs of our customers. Hopefully you enjoy our ad, and don’t forget to stop by the museum and pick up your copy of the magazine!

7 Best 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 […]

Should You Use a Cantilever V-Spring? Here Are the Pros and Cons

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 […]
