Aircraft Counterbalances

Tungsten alloy counterbalance weights for fixed and rotary wing aircraft have been used for many years.  WHA weights, unlike lead which creeps under its own weight at room temperature, can be securely fastened to aerostructures.  In contrast to DU weights, WHA weights are free from SCC concerns, special licensing requirements, environmental issues, and the negative public response to having many pounds of radioactive material routinely flying overhead.  WHA weights are typically machined from near net shape blanks to precise tolerances and provided with a protective coating to the customer's specification.  This is an application where a coating is highly recommended to resist corrosion from temperature and moisture cycling, de-icing fluids, aggressive aircraft cleaning fluids, and galvanic contact with fasteners and the airframe.  Class 1 or 2 WHAs are most commonly used.

Advantages of Tungsten Alloy As Counterweights

 Balance weights or Counterweights for yachts, sailboats, submarines etc.
 Advantages of tungsten alloy as counterweights:
- High density up to 18.5 g/cm3.
- up to 65% denser than Lead.
- up to 130% denser than Steel.
- Mechanical properties to suit either dynamic or static locations.
- Weakly ferro magnetic.
- Non-magnetic, if specifically required.
- Alternative to Lead.
- Non-Toxic.
- Corrosion resistant.
- Easily machined.
- Easily mechanically joined, brazed or shrunk fit to other materials.
- Equivalents to most commercial specifications available.

Tungsten Alloy Sailboats Counterweights

Tungsten alloy weights used for the design of aircraft control surfaces, the aircraft's rotor blades,guidance platforms and vibration. To vibration, for example, tungsten alloy weights used in the rotating system, such as automobile tires, to reduce vibration. Vibration measurements do not need any weight can determine the bearing point. Tungsten alloy counterweight on the opposite bearing point to balance the load, to reduce or eliminate the vibration.

tungsten alloy aerospace weight

Account at the design of aerospace and defense industries that require high density, good mechanical strength, easy processing of the material, the tungsten alloy is the best choice.The high-density tungsten alloy products greatly reduces the physical size of components. This makes it much easier to control weight distribution, increasing the sensitivity of the control mechanism. When a lot of material needs to be placed in a small space, the tungsten alloy to become the best materials.

Counterweight for aerospace industry

Probably the most well known application for tungsten alloy counterweights is the aerospace industry, where weights and counterweights are often required to be housed in restricted areas. With significant reductions in size possible, this in turn, leads to greater control of weight distribution. These components can increase the sensitivity of control mechanisms and keep the forces required to operate flight controls within acceptable limits.

tungsten alloy weight

Tungsten is an ideal, environmentally friendly, and used to replace more and more been labeled as the environmental hazards of toxic lead weights. Tungsten has the characteristics of high density and small size. Tungsten alloy weights for a variety of sports equipment, such as: fishing sinker, golf weights, darts rod.
