The PBS-4100 Portable Balancing SystemMTI Instruments sets a newstandard in aircraft enginemaintenance with the PBS-4100.On the flight line or in the test cellforthe fastest possible “one-shot”balancing and advanced vibrationdiagnostics - the PBS-4100 is theone system that does it all.In use at major airlines worldwidesince 1986, MTI Instrument’sportable balancing systems arerecommended equipment formaintenance of engines built by allmajor manufacturers.Easy to use and supportedby a full selection of accessories,the PBS-4100 saves time and fuelwhile reducing engine overhauls.PBS-4100TMPortable Balancing SystemFast, accurate balancingWhen an engine has a vibration problem, you want tofix it fast. Traditional methods require multiple engineruns, consuming time and fuel. Other “automated”balancing systems require you tomanually enter readings into acomputer or to guess whichspecific balance weights to use.Only the PBS-4100 systemautomatically collects vibrationdata, calculates a precisebalance solution, and determinesthe specific balance weightsrequired – in one shot, after onlyone engine run.The high resolution color screendisplays a diagram of the enginebalance flange, showing theOne easy to read display shows the sizeand location of balance weights to install.sizes, part numbers, and hole locations of weights tobe installed. The process is so simple that time andfuel required for balancing are typically reducedby up to 80 percent.And the balance solution is moreaccurate than can be obtainedconsistently by any other method.In fact, the PBS-4100 systemactually improves its ability tocalculate a quick, accuratesolution every time it is used. Itstores "influence coefficients”from each successive balance runand uses this information to finetunefuture balance calculations.
Expert Balancing at your fingertipsYou don’t need years of experience orknowledge of computers to operate thePBS-4100. A series of clear instructionsand prompts appear on the display toguide you through the balanceprocedure. All data is recorded automaticallyand a full report is generatedand stored. The system even has apractice mode which allows you tofamiliarize yourself with the PBS-4100without running an engine.Easy to use: The PBS-4100 includesmany features that make life easier formechanics and engine troubleshooters.It is rugged, portable and easy toconnect to engine sensors. MTI canprovide cable sets for any type ofPhoto courtesy of Pratt & Whitneyhookup, connecting directly toengine sensors or via aircraftwiring (AVM, ARINC 600connectors, etc.).With its unique tachometer signalconditioning circuitry, the PBS-4100 can accept the unprocessedN1 signal from most engine types.It can also operate with any typeof ground test tachometer. ThePBS-4100 can be used with alltypes of vibration sensors - aportable charge amplifier isavailable if needed. Tachometersand vibration sensors are alsoavailable as auxiliary equipment.Photo courtesy of General Electric Co.The PBS-4100 balances all current engine models and makes;new engine types are easily added.Used with all engine TypesThe PBS-4100 system can beused with any engine type inyour fleet. Select the enginetype from an on-screen menuand the PBS-4100automatically customizes itsscreen display and recalls datafiles for that type. New enginetypes can be added easily.Eliminates guesswork ThePBS-4100 performs all functionsautomatically, eliminatinghuman error that can occurwhen data points are recordedand processed manually.The PBS-4100 also usessophisticated techniques toguarantee that an engine isbalanced using the minimumnumber and size of weights.It even takes previouslyinstalled trim weights intoaccount and will prevent youfrom exceeding themanufacturer’s limit for totalweight.Complete DocumentationCapability All balancingand diagnostic information isstored by engine serialnumber for easy reference.Summary reports indicateinitial and final vibrationlevels at each speed for eachchannel. Detailed reportsprovide complete informationon every balance operation,including data readings, trialweights, and balance solutions.All reports are generated automaticallyand can be used fortrend analysis, record-keepingand management summaries.
