Engine vibration analyzer

1 comment

 

good day to everyone!

my maintenance team is having a hard time of eliminating the engine vibration warning light in our uh-id helicopters. we 've check the alignment of the engine, the mountings, by pods, tri pods and we've done all the trouble shooting procedures that can be found in the technical manuals but the problem still remain.

we have uh-1h and uh-1d. our uh-1h do not have an engine vibration analyzer but our uh-1d has.

can someone please give us an idea on how the engine vibration analyzer came into use in the uh-1d. and why does the uh-1h do not have it.

and can we ask for other opinions on how to correct the aircraft discrepancy.

by the way the engine that we are using is the 703 engines.

thank you...

I have never known of a military UH-1 to have an engine vibration analyzer. Analyzers can pickup vibrations of other components that are a harmonic frequency. ( 2,000 4,000' 8000 ) An item such as the oil cooler turbine, tail rotor driveshaft or starter generator that is close to the engine may be picked up by the analyzer. It may be something not related to the engine. Good luck If you find it please let uh1ops know.

    Main Rotor part number suffix

    we have a set of 205-015-150-101 blades. One of the blades has a "D" suffix at the end of the part number. What does the "D" mean. Can you fly it with a regular 101. Where would I find the approval or nonapproval verbiage

    Different dimensions of Main Rotor Blade (MB)

    Good day to all! I am one of the personnel maintaining UH-1H and we have 30 UH1s in our fleet. Does anybody have ideas or references why the Main rotor (metal) blades we procure and use has differences in weight and length? We are encountering problems on the matching of Main rotor blades as this will cause aircraft vibration. Some blades have different locations on where the trim tab is located. We will greatly appreciate your response. tata_bambi@yahoo.com

    T53 Vane Blade Help

    I have recently found a bunch of New Old Stock T53 Vane blades marked Huey Engine 1967. The part number is 1-140-211-16 - some with 16N. I have looked through a ton of T53 manuals but cannot find this part. If anyone has any information or a diagram showing this piece I would be very grateful and would be happy to send you a vane blade in return for your help. Attached is a photo of one. Thank You RT
