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. We may find the details at http://wikipedia.jaylee.cn/ (Thanks Wikipedia show us the details of what is crankshaft and how the engine works).

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.)
