  The Kibble balance is a precision instrument for realizing the mass unit, the
kilogram, in the new international system of units (SI). In recent years, an
important trend for Kibble balance experiments is to go tabletop, in which the
instrument's size is notably reduced while retaining a measurement accuracy of
$10^{-8}$. In this paper, we report a new design of a tabletop Kibble balance
to be built at Tsinghua University. The Tsinghua Kibble balance aims to deliver
a compact instrument for robust mass calibrations from 10 g to 1 kg with a
targeted measurement accuracy of 50 $\mu$g or less. Some major features of the
Tsinghua Kibble balance system, including the design of a new magnet, one-mode
measurement scheme, the spring-compensated magnet moving mechanism, and
magnetic shielding considerations, are discussed.
