Engine Health and Vibration Monitoring systems provide the data required to support condition-based maintenance and "power-by- the-hour" commercial frameworks. They can also tell the pilot or maintenance crew if the engine rotors are out of balance (a mandatory requirement for passenger-carrying jet-powered civil aircraft).
The majority of current transport aircraft rely on our engine vibration monitoring systems to monitor the condition and health of their engines.
These EVM systems also enable cold fan trim balancing based on data acquired in-flight – saving maintenance time and costs.

A typical system architecture, consists of:
We have the in-house capability and experience to provide the complete system including engine sensor suite, cabling, signal conditioning, data processing and integration with aircraft systems.
Other engine monitoring systems include:
The EMU collects information from multiple sensors and communicates with engine control system to perform advanced trending, monitoring, and prognostic functions.
EMU also provides direct information to the cockpit displays for Vibration engine vibration monitoring.
Our latest EMU designs are on are in service on the T900, T1000, GP7200, TXWB, GenX-1B, GenX-2B, and PD14 engines.
The EICU/EIPM provides an interface between the engine and the aircraft and is a key part of the engine condition-monitoring system.
It monitors and manages the power and communication of the engine-mounted equipment such as the EMU, EEC and FADEC, as well as sending control signals to the engine ignition, thrust reverser and other functions.
Applications include: C919, ARJ21 and A380.
Our EIVMU combines two units into one line replacement unit (LRU) – saving space and weight.
Applications include: A330/340 family.
To increase passenger comfort and improve durability, we have developed a propeller-balancing system. It is based on our latest AGILE new modular electronic processing unit.
The propeller-balancing system is comprised of:
Applications include: ATR 42 & 72.
Debris in the lubricating system resulting from component damages can cause irreversible system failure (e.g. of the gearbox or engine), which generates high costs to the operators.
Meggitt’s oil debris monitoring system, made of strategically located magnetic chip detectors in the oil system and a monitoring and power unit called the Chip Detector Power Unit CDPU), detects metallic particles in the lubricating oil. The system either burns the metallic parts, with or without a pilot command, or alerts the crew by illuminating a light in the cockpit for further investigations on the ground.
Our oil debris monitoring systems are widely used on gas turbine engines and various fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft gearboxes to prevent system failure or unscheduled downtime.
