Tungsten Alloy Rod in Gyroscope Counterweight

Tungsten alloy rod refers to high density tungsten alloy rod designed for gyroscope counterweight in precision inertial navigation and attitude control systems. Manufactured via powder metallurgy processes, its density reaches 16.5-18.8 g/cm³, delivering precise mass adjustment within limited space to effectively meet exact weighting and dynamic balancing requirements for gyroscope rotors, gimbals, and sensitive components. CTIA's tungsten alloy rod features high density, high strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and excellent dimensional stability. Serving as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional lead balance weights, it is widely used in counterweight systems for aviation, aerospace, marine, missile, and high-precision industrial gyroscopes.
