Precision weights used to balance rotating assemblies in X-ray tube rotors for smooth operation and reduced vibration.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Density | ≥16 g/cm³ (for tungsten alloys) | |
| Surface Finish | Ra ≤ 1.6 μm | |
| Weight Tolerance | ±0.1g | |
| Corrosion Resistance | Passivated or coated per ASTM A967 | |
| Operating Temperature Range | -20°C to 150°C |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.

Manufacturer profiles associated with Balance Weights.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
They ensure smooth rotation at high speeds (typically 3,000-10,000 RPM), preventing vibration that can degrade image quality, cause mechanical failure, or reduce tube lifespan.
Yes, they are often designed with threaded or slotted configurations for fine-tuning during dynamic balancing procedures on balancing machines.
Excessive vibration occurs, leading to bearing wear, anode disc damage, reduced X-ray tube life, and potentially blurred or artifact-ridden medical images.
