Tension Link Dynamometer Application Note: Mounting and De-Mounting Aircraft Engines
Category: Aviation
December 8, 2016
Mounting and de-mounting engines from aircraft requires exact positioning and lifting of the engine throughout the procedure. Using Intercomp tension link dynamometers at the lift pick points, force is monitored at the engine mounts to increase safety and simplify the maintenance process.
Engine slings and spreaders vary in capacity and the number of pick points, so selecting tension links depends on the weight to be lifted and the number of points. Aircraft engines can vary greatly in weight within general and commercial aviation, with some single commercial jet engines weighing up to 17,000lbs (8,500kg). Intercomp's electronic, wireless tension link dynamometers enable this capability for maintenance operations.
