Engineering Action Request Forms

admin • August 28, 2012

When  applications present themselves, very often there are details which are overlooked. Eclipse is now introducing our own Engineering Action Request form to get the details of your application in one neat form. Our engineering staff is always available to go over applications over the phone, however quite often, the information on this form can get the ball rolling and allow us to start the design for your application.

These forms have been added to our “Contact” tab with links for both a standard PDF that can be printed for your use, as well as an XLS template that you can tab through and check boxes right on your computer. Links will also be provided at the bottom of this post.

Once these forms are filled out, please feel free to email them directly to your rep, if you know who that is, or you can always email them to the sales@eclipseseal.com address or fax them to 303-635-3005.

We look forward to your new custom applications and thank you for thinking of Eclipse!

Compare canted coil, cantilever, and helical springs to find the right energizer for your PTFE seal.

Aside from ball valve seats or non-contact labyrinth seals, PTFE is rarely used without a secondary energizer. This is due to PTFE’s inelastic nature. Unlike urethanes or elastomers which possess an inherent springiness, PTFE is often considered an “unalive” material. Much like a lump of clay, it will not bounce back once deformed. Especially in dynamic applications, this is not a desirable quality. Fortunately, with the addition of a spring or elastomer energizer, all of PTFE’s excellent attributes can be fully exploited in terms of sealing. Much like the rest of the seal industry, Eclipse utilizes three metallic spring energizer types for the seals we manufacture. Canted Coil, Cantilever V-Spring, and Helical. While each spring type ultimately accomplishes the same task, energizing a PTFE or polymer seal jacket, we’ll see that each type has unique properties better suited to certain applications.  Figure 1 below shows generalized load versus deflection curves for the three spring types. As you can see, each one is quite a bit different, favoring distinct circumstances and applications. Though, we’ll also find out load curves are not only deciding factor when choosing a spring.
