What Is Tungsten Alloy Crankshaft Balancing?
Tungsten alloy crankshaft Balancing, sometimes casually abbreviated to crank, is the part of an
engine, which translates reciprocating linear piston motion into rotation. A crankshaft is a part
that connects to the piston rods and the flywheel of a car. It changes the motion of the pistons
to power the vehicle. The crankshaft is the part that will makes the piston motion rotate. This
engine part connects to the flywheel, and uses crank throws that connect the connecting rods to
the cylinders.
How Does Crankshaft Balancer Work?
The rods and bearings connects the piston to crankshaft, when the piston moves up and down, then
it is moved as describing a circle by the rods and bearings, then, it is rotating..
Advantages for Tungsten Alloy Crankshaft Balancer
It is necessary to provide counterweights for the reciprocating mass of each piston and connecting
rod to improve balance in engines, and these are typically cast as part of crankshaft. Lead is
cheap but the density is much lower than tungsten heavy alloy, and it is not environmental friendly,
as for steel, tungsten alloy is more than twice the density of it, so compared with other materials,
it is certainly considered t as the most appropriate crankshaft material for its properties as
follows:
*Small volume but high density
*Excellent hardness
*Superior wearing resistance
*Good corrosion resistance
*Wonderful Shock resistance
*High melting point
*High temperature resistance
*Environmental friendly
Therefore, tungsten alloy crankshaft parts can be used as counterweight in machines and vessels as
well as aircraft, ships, yachts, space shuttles and anywhere need much heavy but little space,
tungsten alloy crankshaft is widely used in high-performance engines (automobile, racing car, motor,
fan, diesel, truck, yacht, jet, fan etc.)
We specialize in manufacturing and supplying WHA (tungsten heavy alloy) for almost 15 years. Our
professional knowledge and experience in tungsten alloy crankshaft assures our products with high
quality (in accordance with ASTM B 777-99 , which could be found at tungsten alloy grades) and
competitive price. We supply not only standard crankshaft, but also manufacture according to your
specific requirements.
