Tungsten Alloy Counterweight in Medical Equipment

Tungsten alloy counterweight in medical equipment is high-density balancing component for motion mechanisms, load-bearing structures and balancing assemblies, providing mass compensation, center-of-gravity adjustment and motion balance. CTIA's tungsten alloy counterweight uses W-Ni-Fe or W-Ni-Cu tungsten alloy containing 90%–97% tungsten, with a typical density of 16.5–18.8 g/cm³, allowing the required counterweight mass to be concentrated within limited installation space.

1. Features of CTIA's Tungsten Alloy Counterweight in Medical Equipment
(1) High Density, Compact Size: Tungsten alloy typically has a density of 16.5–18.8 g/cm³, requiring less volume for the same mass and approximately 2/3 the volume of lead, making it suitable for counterweight structures within space-constrained medical equipment.
(2) Non-Magnetic Option, Magnetic Field Compatibility: W-Ni-Cu tungsten alloy is non-magnetic, with relative magnetic permeability close to 1, making it suitable for medical equipment and motion components sensitive to magnetic field interference.
(3) Precise Dimensions, Complex Structure Compatibility: Precision machining supports miniature, perforated and irregular counterweight structures, with dimensions and tolerances tailored to specific equipment and assembly requirements.
(4) Concentrated Mass, Flexible Balance Adjustment: Counterweight mass and installation position can be tailored to equipment requirements, allowing adjustment of center of gravity and mass distribution for balanced motion mechanisms.
(5) Lead-Free Material, Regulatory Compliance: Tungsten alloy is lead-free and can meet material requirements for medical equipment.

2. Applications of Tungsten Alloy Counterweight in Medical Equipment
(1) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Equipment: Used for motion components, load-bearing mechanisms and balancing assemblies, where non-magnetic W-Ni-Cu counterweights help minimize magnetic interference.
(2) Computed Tomography (CT) Equipment: Used for rotating mechanisms, load-bearing components and motion structures to provide local mass compensation and rotational balance adjustment.
(3) Radiotherapy Equipment: Used for treatment heads, rotating mechanisms and motion components to adjust mass distribution and center of gravity.
(4) Medical Robots: Used for robotic arm joints, end-effectors and precision motion components to optimize mass distribution and motion inertia.
(5) Surgical and Diagnostic Equipment: Used for positioning mechanisms, motion platforms and load-bearing structures to provide mass compensation and center-of-gravity adjustment within limited installation space.
(6) Portable Medical Equipment: Used for small motion components and internal structures requiring compact counterweight configurations.
