Tungsten Alloy Sphere for Counterweight

Tungsten Alloy Sphere for Counterweight

Tungsten alloy sphere counterweights are incorporated into the pitch control system of many propeller designs as a fail-safe device to prevent over speeding. What's more, tungsten heavy alloy is incorporated into the rotating flywheels of gyroscopic controls for the storage of kinetic energy. Tungsten alloy counterweights are used for adjusting the center of gravity of the triangle and the frequency of oscillation of the laser beams. Bucking bars made of tungsten heavy alloy are ideal for vibration-damping applications with high density.

Usually, space for the counterweight is limited, so the need of heavy but small objects is great. Tungsten alloy sphere, with the density of 16.5/ cm 3 to 18.5/m3 about 50 percent higher than lead and much higher than steel, is ideal for counterweight. Tungsten alloy counterweight as sphere can prolong the life of itself because of its wear resistance and round shape. In addition, lead is toxic while tungsten alloy sphere is environmentally friendly.

Tungsten Alloy Sphere Application

Due to its special properties, tungsten alloy sphere use in the counterweight, fishing weight, counterweights, etc. Chinatungsten has more than 20 years of experience in manufacturing tungsten alloy counterweight as sphere. We have tungsten alloy sphere to many different overseas customers and manufactured various parts of tungsten alloy counterweight always meeting specific designs requirement. Tungsten alloy sphere are usually supplied in bulk quantities.

Advantages of Tungsten Alloy Counterweight as Sphere

Tungsten alloy sphere provides a safer alternative to lead, and their higher density enables them to hold their shape better, even under extreme conditions. While uranium offers comparable density, its volatile nature and the special licensing requirements needed for radioactive materials make working with it difficult. Chinatungsten offers a variety of high-density alloys, available as ROTF (Rough, Oversized to Finish) material, bars, tungsten alloy sphere, tungsten alloy counterweight, tungsten alloy plates or rods. We also have extensive machining capabilities, allowing us to provide crankshaft weights in standard sizes or custom products finished to your exact specifications.
