Precision Lead Weights & Counterweights / Bleigewichte

Custom-made precision lead weights for industrial applications

MTH Metall-Technik Halsbrücke GmbH & Co. KG develops and manufactures precision-moulded lead weights for a wide range of industries and applications. Our product spectrum includes balancing weights, trim weights, counterweights and other customer-specific weight solutions made from lead.

Thanks to the high density of lead, compact components can provide a high mass even where installation space is limited. This makes lead particularly suitable for applications where precise weight distribution, balancing or a low centre of gravity is required.

MTH supports customers from the initial idea and design through to the finished weight. Depending on geometry, quantity and technical requirements, we combine different manufacturing technologies, including:

• Lead casting and precision casting
• Pressing and forming
• CNC machining
• 3D waterjet cutting
• Bonding with steel or aluminium components
• Lead welding and joining
• Surface finishing and coating
• Final assembly of components and subassemblies

Our extensive experience in lead processing enables us to manufacture both simple and highly complex geometries. Modern CNC equipment also allows us to achieve tight tolerances for demanding technical lead products.

Typical applications include:

• Balancing weights
• Trim weights
• Counterweights
• Machine and equipment weights
• Weights for moving systems and mechanisms
• Customer-specific precision weights
• Integrated weight assemblies combining lead with steel, aluminium or other materials

We manufacture prototypes, individual parts as well as small and large series, depending on customer requirements. MTH’s certified quality management according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and modern material analysis support reliable and reproducible production quality.

Our particular strength lies in customized solutions. Customers define the required weight, installation space and function, while MTH contributes its expertise in lead-compatible design, material selection and manufacturing.

Where appropriate, we can also integrate the lead weight into a complete component or assembly, reducing the number of interfaces for the customer.

From the required mass and installation space to the finished precision weight – development and manufacturing from one source.
