What is the PBS-4100 system, and what does it do?
The PBS-4100 system is an engine vibration diagnostics tool, which can be used to: • Quickly measure engine vibration levels • Quickly identify sources of vibration • Accurately guide repair decisions • Quickly calculate trim balancing solutions • Store engine vibration data The PBS-4100 portable trim balancing system is designed to save engine maintenance teams time and money. The PBS-4100 will quickly measure engine vibration levels to determine if the readings are within desired limits. Next, the PBS-4100 system will identify if the vibrations are caused by the engine’s fan or turbine, or from other sources. When the source of vibration is identified to be the fan or the low-rotor, the PBS-4100 system determines the optimum set of trim balancing weights required to reduce the vibrations (trim balancing). The PBS-4100 equipment also stores engine vibration data to permit printing, data reviews and continuous tracking of engine performance. By quickly solving vibration problems, the P
