Engine Vibration and Balancing Principles
What do you think when you’re flying home, cruising at 30,000 feet and the drinks have just been served? Our engineers think about the ripple in the glass. That ripple signals vibration and is an indication that the engine may be in need of a balance. The MTII’s PBS-4100+ Series Turbine Vibration Analyzer/Balancing System was developed to ensure that Turbine engines run as efficiently as possible. Excessive vibration is detrimental for a host of reasons: energy intended for useful output is instead expended on the vibration vibration manifests as acoustic energy (noise), again wasting otherwise useful energy excessive [...]

Handheld Signal Source Generator Principles
The MTI 1510A Portable Signal Generator is a sophisticated two channel battery powered microprocessor controlled direct digital synthesizer. It can generate sine, square, saw tooth and triangle continuous signals on both channels as well as single pulse and odd pulses on the B channel to simulate tachometer output pulses. The main reason for two channels is to be able to create a phase shift in the A to B output signals as may be encountered in a piece of rotating equipment such as a jet engine. The A channel also has the ability to simulate precise DC signals or [...]
