E. Job Set-up
1. Comply with the general instructions for the mechanical assemblies (AMM
60-00-00,3-1).
2. Do the check of the vibrations along the vertical (Z), and horizontal (Y) axes
when the vibration level 1 Omega Y and/or Z is not satisfactory in flight.
3. Do not do the measurements on the ground when the wind speed is more than
15 kts (7.7 m/s).
b. do the adjustment of the dynamic balancing of the main rotor hub: remove
the excessive unbalance caused by the weight dispersion of a rotating
component of the main rotor, vibration level 1 omega Y not acceptable in
flight,
b. Make sure that the values for tabs T1 to T4 match the values recorded on
the FMs (Logcards) of the blades in question. Caution, it is prohibited to
change the values for tabs T1 to T4, only correction to agree with the values
noted on the FMs is permitted.
F. Procedure
a. Install the support (15) of the magnetic sensor (14) on the non-rotating
swashplate (16) with the bolts (11), the shim (12) and the nuts (13).
c. Adjust the magnetic sensor (14) with the nuts (17) to obtain a gap E of 1,25
mm 0,25 mm (.049 in. .01 in.) with the target plate (10).
d. Lock and safety the nuts (17) of the magnetic sensor (14) with lockwire CM
776.
4. Install the accelerometer and the velocimeter (7) for the measurement of the 1
Omega Y (Figure 1 Sheet 1 - DETAIL B):
In this system, the accelerometer or the velocimeter (7) supplies the lateral
(unbalance) acceleration amplitude.
a. Unsafety, loosen and remove the attachment bolt (5) and the washer (6) of
the swashplate guide (4) on the upper housing (8).
b. Install the support (9) of the accelerometer or velocimeter (7) on the flange
of the swashplate guide (4), with bolt (5) and washer (6), then tighten.
5. Install the accelerometer or the velocimeter (1) for the measurement of the 1
Omega Z (Figure 1 Sheet 1 - DETAIL A):
In this system, the accelerometer or the velocimeter (1) supplies the vertical
acceleration amplitude (track).
a. Remove the first cabin floor attachment bolt (2) on the LH side in the
forward section, at the left foot of the copilot.
b. Install the parallel support (3) of the accelerometer or the velocimeter (1) in
the forward section of the cabin floor with bolt (2).
b. If a stroboscope is used, install the 15 mm (.59 in.) targets (19) with the
bolts (18) provided in the adaptation kit (Figure 1 Sheet 4).
7. Installation of cables:
a. Route the cables and secure them with plastic cable ties and/or with
aluminium adhesive tape.
c. Connect the power supply cable of the measurement equipment to the (28
V) utility connector of the helicopter.
d. Make sure the routing and the connections of the cables are correct.
e. If the targets are installed, make sure that the targets are correctly
positioned and tightened.
10. Measurements:
If the unbalance between the ground run and the hover flight changes by
more than 0.3 IPS, the rotor cannot be adjusted correctly. Replace the 3
frequency adapters (AMM 62-21-00,4-3) and (AMM 62-21-00,4-4).
a. Tolerances:
a. For an unbalance of 0.6 IPS at 6 o'clock (point N) (Figure 1 Sheet 5), you
must:
- Add 4 plates to sleeve B (Blue).
- Add 4 plates to sleeve R (Red).
c. Install the (aluminium) shim washers (21) and the nuts (22). Then torque to
the value.
a. For a vibration level 1 omega Z equal to 0.25 IPS located at 6h15' (point M)
(Figure 1 Sheet 6), you must:
- Correct the red blade by -2 (upwards) on tab(s) (No.5 and/or No.6) so
that there is uniform bending of the tabs.
- Or correct the yellow blade and the blue blade by +2 (downwards) on
tab No.5 or No.6 so that there is uniform bending of the tabs:
. +1 on tab No.5 or No.6 of yellow blade.
. +1 on tab No.5 or No.6 of blue blade.
G. Close-up
1. Document follow-up:
a. Record all tab corrections (bending direction and value) on the equipment
log cards of the applicable blades.
4. Check that the balancing plates (20) are correctly secured (AMM 62-21-00,4-4).
5. Check that the pitch-change rods are correctly secured (AMM 62-33-00,4-1).
8. Remove the targets (19) from the rotor blades Figure 1 Sheet 4.
11. Remove the magnetic sensor (14) (Figure 1 Sheet 1 - DETAIL C):
a. Remove the safetying and remove the magnetic sensor (14) from its support
(15).
b. Loosen and remove the nuts (13), the shim (12), and the bolts (11).
a. Remove the safetying and remove the accelerometer or the velocimeter (7)
from its support (9).
b. Loosen and remove the bolt (5) and the washer (6).
c. Remove the support (9) from the flange of the swashplate guide (4).
d. Install the washer (6) and the bolt (5) which attach the swashplate guide (4)
to the upper housing (8).
e. Torque to the value and safety the bolt (5): Refer to (AMM 62-31-00,4-3).
a. Remove the accelerometer or the velocimeter (1) from its support (3).
b. Remove the bolt (2) and the support (3) from the cabin floor.
