Tungsten Alloy Crankshaft Weight

Tungsten alloy crankshaft weight, also known as tungsten alloy crankshaft balancing, is made from our tungsten heavy alloys. Crankshaft balancing is important to high performance engines in racecars, aircrafts and others. High density tungsten is perfect for crankshaft balancing with limited size and space.

For some engines it is necessary to provide tungsten alloy crankshaft weight for the reciprocating mass of each piston and connecting rod to improve engine balance. These are typically cast as part of the crankshaft but, occasionally, are bolt-on pieces. While counter weights add a considerable amount of weight to the crankshaft, it provides a smoother running engine and allows higher RPM levels to be reached.
