Vibration toolkit for field inspection of all helicopter engine families produced by Safran Helicopter Engines.
Safran Helicopter Engine Vibration Test Kit Type 3656-A is designed for field inspection of all Safran helicopter engine families. Vibration test measurements are performed according to the respective maintenance manual.
Type 3656-A has been developed by Brüel & Kjær in close collaboration with Safran, a leading helicopter engine manufacturer.
The test kit comprises a vibration meter (with measurement templates for all Safran engines), a high-temperature accelerometer, and a 10 m cable, all packed in a handy shoulder bag.
USE CASES
Standard: Vibration check during a run-up from engine START to FLIGHT
High N1/NGG rate: Vibration check during a run-up from FLIGHT to the maximum speed of the gas generator reachable on ground (or in flight for Arriel® 1 single-engine helicopters after Deep Maintenance Intervention)
BENEFITS
Immediate and unambiguous pass/fail decisions according to engine maintenance manual instructions
Recording and documentation of test data according to Safran requirements for easy interaction with Safran Services
FEATURES
Verifies overall vibration levels in a specific frequency range during engine run-up/high N1-NGG rate against allowable limits
SAFRAN HE templates for all engine families are included
Message if level limitations are exceeded
Metadata annotation according to SAFRAN HE requirements
One-handed operation and simplified operator user interface
Only one transducer and one cable needed
No computer required during measurements
No tachometer connection required
