Our propeller balance monitoring system (PBMS) leverages our extensive experience in aircraft vibration control. Our system has been providing operators with propeller balancing solutions since 2000 and has been fitted to seven different aircraft types. The system utilizes normal service operation to determine the balance state of the propeller systems, and our dedicated ground terminal software can provide this status to maintainers, provide balance solutions and vibration predictions and allow the operator to maintain the system.
Reduces operating costs compared with carry-on systems
No dedicated ground runs are required
No dedicated flights are required
Data is gathered during normal service operation
No carry-on equipment required, all parts permanently installed
High reliability of components
No parts calibration required
56% reduction in overall vibration levels compared with the standard ‘carry-on’ method of propeller balancing
Balance data is gathered continuously during the normal flight envelope and is readily available
The time taken to balance a four-engine aircraft is less than 1 hour
No test flight or dedicated ground runs are required
