Tungsten Alloy Radiotherapy Equipment Counterweight
1. What's Tungsten Alloy Radiotherapy Equipment Counterweight?
Tungsten alloy radiotherapy equipment counterweight is mass-compensation component mainly used in the gantries, cantilevers, and auxiliary movement mechanisms of medical Linear Accelerators (LINAC), Gamma Knife systems, and proton and heavy-ion therapy equipment. CTIA's tungsten alloy counterweight features high density, concentrating substantial mass within limited installation space and improving gravitational balance and operational stability through controlled counterweight mass and positioning.
2. Features of CTIA's Tungsten Alloy Radiotherapy Equipment Counterweight
(1) High Density, Minimal Space Occupancy: With a density of 16.5–18.8 g/cm³, it is suitable for compact counterweight installation spaces in radiotherapy equipment gantries, treatment heads, and cantilevers.
(2) Safe and Lead-Free, Replacing Conventional Lead Counterweights: It contains no lead, reducing the use of heavy metals in medical equipment counterweights.
(3) Dual Function, Counterweight with Radiation Attenuation: It offers good radiation attenuation capability, allowing certain structures to combine mass compensation with radiation shielding functions.
(4) Flexible Structures, Easy Precision Installation: Available as tungsten alloy blocks, rods, rings, plates, and irregular parts, with machining options such as drilling and slotting.
(5) Selectable Alloy Systems, Meeting Different Equipment Requirements: W-Ni-Fe offers good overall mechanical properties, while W-Ni-Cu has low magnetic response, allowing selection according to equipment structure and magnetic environment.
3. Applications of CTIA's Tungsten Alloy Radiotherapy Equipment Counterweight
(1) Linear Accelerators: Used for mass compensation in rotating gantries, treatment heads, and related support structures to improve overall gravitational balance.
(2) Gamma Knife Systems: Used for mass balancing of gantries, radiation source supports, and movement structures.
(3) Proton and Heavy-Ion Therapy Equipment: Used as counterweights in rotating gantries and support structures to optimize mass distribution.
(4) Image-Guided Radiotherapy Equipment: Used for imaging components and auxiliary support structures to improve movement stability.
