PBS-4100+ Gen 4 Portable Vibration and Balancing System
The 4th generation of the PBS-4100+ raises the standard in jet engine turbine vibration analysis and balancing with its added ARINC 429 and 664 interface technology.
The PBS 4100+ is now enabled to acquire data directly from an aircraft’s digital buses further reducing set-up time and potential for errors, and so building on the product’s 35-year legacy of accuracy and innovation.
Small, lightweight, fast and ruggedly built, this portable solution is contained in a high-visibility case. To support mobile operations, the 4100+ battery can provide up to 4 hours of continuous use on a single charge.
Vibration Surveys
Quickly assess the current condition of your jet engine by using the WinPBS vibration survey functionality. A variety of intuitive and informative display formats provide PBS users a wealth of information that can be viewed in real time, or after the fact in the system Data Viewer.
“One-Shot” Trim Balancing
Gone are the days of multiple engine runs, polar graphs, and handwritten solutions! The PBS can quickly characterize the rotors in your engine, allowing for highly accurate single run balance
solutions. Automated reports are generated providing users a clear picture of how well balanced the engine is.
Trim Balancing using Trial Weights
Fine tune your PBS’ characterization of the engine using trial weight balances to develop “influence coefficients” that can be utilized for quicker future balances.
Vibration Diagnostics
The PBS-4100+ system has tools specifically designed to help you quickly identify the sources of vibrations and take the appropriate corrective action before a potential catastrophic failure.
Spectral Analysis
Pinpoint the exact sources of vibrations and solve tough diagnostics problems with the integrated spectral analysis of the PBS system.
Tachometer Signal Conditioning
With its unique tachometer signal conditioning circuitry, the PBS 4100+ can accept speed signals from all jet engine types and tachometer generators. Phasing (1/REV) information can be derived from all types of odd-tooth signals, including long, short, and offset (phase) tooth embedded signals. An external 1/REV output for outside equipment is provided.
Love this unit. Reliable hardware, good intuitive Software. Easy to use, don’t need an engineering degree to balance an engine with this system.
