MTI Webinar – How To Balance a Turbine Engine in Just 3 Steps
PAST WEBINAR: How to Balance A Turbine Engine in Just 3 Steps View Webinar Get Presentation Throughout the aviation industry, whether commercial or military, jet engine vibration is an everyday concern. Maintenance, repair, and overhaul crews worldwide are tasked with monitoring aircraft engine vibration to ensure flight safety and efficient service. With around 24,000 aircraft worldwide, and growing to over 34,000 aircraft by 2025, there is a growing need to ensure that jet engines are well maintained and properly balanced. (https://www.planestats.com/mrof_2015apr) You are invited to attend a webinar which will give you a quick, live tutorial on why engine [...]

Selecting a Displacement Sensor / Measuring System
Capacitive displacement sensors Capacitive displacement sensors are non-contact devices that are used for measurements at a high-resolution. It can also be used to check the position of any conductive object as well as measure the width or density of non-conductive materials. Capacitive displacement sensors have a large variety of uses including precision thickness measurements, assembly line testing, assembly metrology, and semiconductor processing. Capacitive displacement sensors can be found in manufacturing facilities all around the globe. There’s more to selecting the proper type of displacement sensor and measurement system than meets the eye. To select the appropriate type of device [...]
What is Measurement?
Measurement is about determining the quantifiable attributes of a target object. Examples of these attributes include: length weight distance thickness position capacity size The following sections explain more about what measurement is – and isn’t. Why is measurement misunderstood? Sometimes, people use the term “measure” instead of “calculate” or “quantify”. All these terms are related, but they’re not the same. For clarity’s sake, think of measurement as a single action that you perform with instrumentation. Collectively, “instrumentation” describes devices (i.e., instruments) that measure, indicate, and sometimes record values. Today, there are many different types of specialized measuring instruments. Bakers [...]
What is a displacement sensor?
What are Displacement Sensors (Displacement Gauges) and Dimension Measurement Systems? What is a displacement sensor? A displacement sensor (displacement gauge) is primarily used to measure the range of where an object has to travel and in relation to a reference position. Displacement sensors have multiple uses. Its primary use is for dimension measurement to figure out an object’s width, height, and thickness. Accuracy, application and usage environment is required when selecting the best equipment. What is a measurement sensor? A measurement sensor is a device that is used to measure an object to ascertain its dimensions such as by [...]
Displacement Measurement
Types of Displacement Measurement Run-Out/Vibration There are many ways to measure run-out/vibration including the type of measurement system, run-out or vibration (direction), and environment where the system is being installed. Choosing the wrong kind of equipment can lead to drastic consequences. You can run into issues such as increased man-hours during production and issues with insufficient precision. Example Applications Run-out measurement of HDD surface Laser displacement sensors are very helpful in measuring the oscillation at a single point on a specific target’s exterior. The further away that vibration amplitude is from the center of rotation from a target, [...]
Charge Amplifiers
Charge Amplifiers CA1800: Rack-mount Multiple Channel Charge Amplifier View Product 41CA: Dual Channel Rugged Charge Amplifier View Product 55CA: Single Channel Rugged Charge Amplifier View Product View Technology Principles Charge amplifiers have become an indispensable tool in diverse industries looking to emphasize precision accuracy in their performance. These electronic current integrators produce a voltage output proportional to the integrated value of the input current, making them ideal for amplifying signals from piezoelectric sensors. At MTI Instruments, we have harnessed and refined this power, creating a [...]
