Technology Upgrades

admin • Oct 22, 2012

And the times they are a changin’

This morning we met with the construction crew running our new phone and internet lines and poles are going in the dirt today. Over the next week, ground construction will occur around our property to run business class lines that will support virtually unlimited phone growth for Eclipse as we move into the future. In addition to these telephone upgrades we will be gaining a 30X boost in our internet speeds! These changes are sorely needed and there are many new and exciting technology projects that we have on the horizon to help our productivity here and attempt to keep up with the ever growing world of technology. Of course the goal of these changes it to better serve our customers and make our employees more efficient and able to increase their workload both in and out of the office.

Today’s businesses are not only expected to be reachable at all times, but also productive. That will be one of the largest efforts we undertake with these new capabilities. With our ever increasing sales and traveling engineering staff, we are excited about the opportunity to keep these people out in the field more, while still having access to all of the information that they need when they’re away from the office.

We may not be the biggest name in the game, but we sure are growing and finding better ways to serve you, the customer. After all, shouldn’t that be what it’s all about?

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 […]
