What is Dynamic Prop Balancing?
Dynamic prop balancing is the process of adjusting the balance of a rotating propeller to minimize vibration and ensure smooth operation. This not only enhances flight comfort but also prevents premature wear of engine and airframe components.
How Dynamic Prop Balancing is Performed
Our FAA-certified technicians use advanced equipment to measure and correct propeller vibration in real time:
- Vibration Measurement - We use a vibration sensor or analyzer to measure amplitude and phase while the propeller spins at operating RPMs.
- Data Analysis - The data is analyzed to determine where adjustments are needed, pinpointing the location and amount of correction.
- Weight Adjustments - Small weights are strategically added to the prop hub or blades, or material may be carefully removed to correct imbalances.
- Re-Test & Fine-Tuning - The process is repeated until vibrations are reduced to an acceptable level, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
