Eclipse Spring Energized Seals

admin • Sep 12, 2012

Eclipse Engineering began manufacturing Spring Energized seals in 2005

Today, we supply Spring Energized seals with ID’s as small as .065” to in excess of 3 feet or larger. We offer Cantilever, Canted Coil, Helical and Garter Spring energized designs.

This technology has allowed us to always offer the most appropriate solution to your sealing needs, regardless of the conditions or environment the seal will be operating. Through our broad range of utilized jacket materials we can seal virtually any media environment.

At Eclipse, we feel speed of response is a clear advantage to our customers. Eclipse can turn many prototype applications around with finished product in 2 weeks and in emergency situations, we can even shave the time down to a few days. We’re able to offer this service because we carry a wide array of raw materials, including our spring stock in Stainless, Hastelloy, and Elgiloy.

When the need arises, please call our engineering department to discuss your application.

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 […]
