4 Advantages Over Steel or Lead Weights
-
Space Efficiency
Achieve equivalent mass in 30% smaller volumes.
Example: A 5kg tungsten weight fits in 60mm³ vs. 85mm³ for steel. -
Zero Maintenance
Non-porous surface resists oil, coolant, and debris buildup. -
Safety Compliance
Meets OSHA standards for workplace material handling. -
Long-Term ROI
10+ year service life with no degradation in performance.
FAQs About Tungsten Buffer Weights
Q: Can tungsten weights be used in magnetic applications?
A: Yes – non-magnetic grades are available for MRI or sensor-sensitive environments.
Q: What mounting options exist?
A: Pre-threaded holes (M4-M20), slots, or custom dovetail designs.
Q: How do I clean tungsten buffer weights?
A: Simple wipe with isopropyl alcohol – no special coatings required.
