  • Method for determining the balancer condition of a balanced engine
    Patent number: 6510732
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the balanced condition of an engine having a balancer is provided. An engine balancer tester includes a sensor coupled to the engine. The engine generates first- and second-order vibrations that have vibration levels and the sensor generates a signal corresponding to the vibrations. A meter coupled to the sensor receives the signal and calculates a ratio between the vibration level of the first-order vibrations and the vibration level of the second-order vibrations. A comparator compares the ratio to a predetermined value to assess the balanced condition of the engine.
