On a side note, the popular vintage King KG102A remote heading gyro that's part of the KCS55A HSI system sits on a mount housing equipped with four shock mounts, which proves how
critical vibration is to this component (an overhaul nears $2000).
These pipes were located in the
critical vibration of the system.
Leads and lead frames also provide
critical vibration resistance for ceramic capacitors by reducing the tensile forces applied to the naturally brittle material.
This article concentrates on the
critical vibration testing element.
The unit's stainless-steel condition monitor is nested securely atop the power end to measure
critical vibration and temperature readings.
* A stainless steel condition monitor nested securely atop the power end to measure
critical vibration and temperature readings-variations in temperature or vibration that exceed preset parameters activate the early warning system by displaying flashing red lights.
"The
critical vibration area for the V10 lies around 12,000 rpm, a rev band where the engine doesn't spend too much time since it operates mostly at peak revs," says Theissen.
