Tungsten alloy gyro rotor is a key component of the aircraft heading gyroscope. It has high requirements in manufacturing and mechanical performance.

Tungsten alloy gyro rotor counterweight, made of tungsten heavy alloy, is an important component of an aircraft heading gyroscope. It plays a role in balancing the heading and controlling the direction. The main components of an aircraft heading gyro are azimuth gyroscope, gyro rotor and outer ring shaft. 

 

When tungsten alloy gyro rotor rotates at high speed, the rotation axis and the pitch scale ring mounted on the outer ring stabilized in a certain direction that depends on the gyro stability. When the plane turns, the angle between the instrument shell and the marking along the plane relative to the heading scale ring is the change angle of the aircraft's course. Azimuth gyroscope cannot find the geographical position itself, the location of the aircraft to the north with the rotation of the earth and the movement of the aircraft is continue to rotate relative to the inertial space, so it shall point gyro axis correction at any time, to correctly measure the aircraft heading angle.

 

 

As a key component of an aircraft heading gyroscope, tungsten alloy gyro rotor has high requirements for its manufacturing and mechanical performance. In terms of manufacturing accuracy, it needs high accuracy  for aviation components. To achieve this, the machinability of metals should be taken into account. By sintering process, Tungsten alloy can have high dense. Tungsten alloy has good machinability and a strong advantage in accuracy requirements. The gyro rotor has to run for long periods of high speed,which is a great test for the mechanical properties of the rotor.

 

Tungsten alloy is the ranks of non-ferrous metals. It has high density,  and high hardness. Therefore, it has high wear resistance and high temperature resistance, and it can be used for a long time even in high speed rotating environment. Compared with other materials, tungsten alloy has remarkable advantages in density, hardness and wear resistance. It is the best material for manufacturing tungsten alloy gyro rotor.
