 CFM Production - Fan Trim Balance
 • Vibration levels during production acceptance test
 - #1Brg, FFCC max LP vib level < 2.5 mils prior to delivery
 - Additional balance performed to achieve low level (~1 mil) at
 Boeing flightline
 • Fan trim balance conducted by recording LP vib amplitude
 & phase response during vib survey (slow accel, decel) or
 with steady-state dwell points
 • Balance achieved by spinner screw weight changes
 - 36 holes in aft spinner, 7 different screw sizes
 - Provides full range of adjustments

 N1 Vibration Team Objective
 • In May 2000 CFM/Boeing and six airlines completed a
 study of in-service N1 vibration
 • 737NG operators reported increasing N1 vib levels and/or
 N1 vib shifts following trim balance.
 • Operators also expressed concern on maintenance
 guidelines and recommendations
 • CFM reviewed the engine vibration levels, balance history,
 and pilot / maintenance crew reports for a fleet size of 240
 engines, comprising ~2000 flight legs during a four month
 period.

 N1 Vibration Status
 Background
 • Vibration variation impacts trim balance effectiveness
 • N1 Vibration is not common but has been reported inservice
 - Customers perform trim balance using AVM / relube at ~2 units
 - Effective in reducing vibration to less than 1 unit
 CFM56 Operators Conference – May 21 - 22, 2002 CFM Proprietary Data Unauthorized Disclosure Prohibited 9
 N1 Vibration Status
 • Identified 2 prime factors for N1 vibe variation
 - Vibe variability due to blade / disk seating
 - Improved with G-n paste lube, introduced 05/00 in production
 - CESM 005 provides lubrication recommendation for N1 vibes
 - Vibe variability due to blade axial movement in disk
 - Creates a dynamic unbalance couple
 - Engine sensitive to dynamic unbalance couple
 - Elastomer buttons introduced to retention ring - May 2001

 N1 Vibration Team Conclusions
 CESM 007 Recommendations:
 • Schedule fan trim balance when N1 vibration
 trend levels are above 1.5 – 2.0 units
 • Lubrication fan blades and disk slots provides
 benefit for reducing engine vibration levels. The
 re-lubrication method / timing is documented
 through CESM 005.
 • The recommended format for reporting N1
 vibration related issues is included as an
 attachment to CESM 007.”
 CFM56 Operators Conference – May 21 - 22, 2002 CFM Proprietary Data Unauthorized Disclosure Prohibited 12
 Summary of Fleet Experience
 • Typical engine vibration level at airplane delivery ~ 0.5 unit
 • N1 vibration level in-service average ~ 1.1 unit with various
 levels of trim balance activity
 • N1 vibration level increase 0.4 unit for every 2500 hrs
 (on average)
 • SAGE cruise trend data ~ 35% lower than max AVM
 flight history data levels
 • Threshold for crew reports of increased ~2 units
 vibration and/or airplane tactile vibration
 • Typical vibration reduction from AVM trim ~ 1.0 – 1.5 units
 balance
 • Engines identified with difficulty to be maintained 3 engines (vib level increased
 within ~
 at low vibration levels 1 month after fan balance)
 • Fan blade re-lubrication Provides benefit in reducing /
 maintaining N1 vibration
 levels

 Balance Weight
 •The loss of fan blade platforms seals or balance weights can contribute to
 engine unbalance
 •Field experience revealed an immediate 1 to 2 unit increase N1

 •Maintenance manual revised recommending platform seal
 lubrication before installation

 • Currently evaluating benefit of 2 plane trim on CFM56-7B
 - Fan trim balance performed to reduce N1 engine vibe levels and
 N1 audible noise and tactile vibration (A&T)
 - Currently assessing benefit of 2 plane trim balance for N1 A&T
 levels
 - 2 plane trimmed (as req’d) at CFM starting December, 2001 GE 888-
 769, SN 889-854 and up
 - Boeing Flight line evaluation in progress
 - CFM All OPS Wire issued Dec 2001
 - S/B 72-0347R1 introduced LPT Stage 4 clips
 - Test Cell Experience
 - TRF Vibes 1.69 => 1.28 mils avg, LPT unbalance 250 => 100 gm-cm
 avg (75% engines receive clips)
 2 Plane Trim Balance Evaluation - Production Engines
 CFM56 Operators Conference – May 21 - 22, 2002 CFM Proprietary Data Unauthorized Disclosure Prohibited 15
 • It is not intended that Operators will perform two plane
 trim balance in-service
 - CFM56 experience shows that CFM56-3 operators did not
 perform two plane trim balance in-service.
 - Two plane trim balance on the CFM56-7B is more complicated
 due to the longer exhaust nozzle making clip installation more
 difficult
 • There is no action recommended or required for inservice
 CFM56-7B engines delivered with LPT
 balance clips
 - If clips are observed to be missing in-service, it is not
 necessary to reinstall the clips
 - If clips are observed on an LPT at overhaul, it is recommended
 to leave clips installed unless LPT module balance is to be
 conducted

 Summary
 • CFM56 Production engines are delivered with
 vibration levels less than 2.5 mils DA - typically ~ 1.0
 mils DA
 - Engine durability demonstrated at vibration levels over 5 units
 • N1 Vibration team formed which included six airline
 customers
 - Conclusions from the team are published in CESM 007
 - Performing periodic trim balances in addition to lubricating
 fan blade roots and fan disk slots is a effective method for
 retaining low LP vibration levels
 CFM56 Operators Conference – May 21 - 22, 2002 CFM Proprietary Data Unauthorized Disclosure Prohibited 17
 Summary (Continued)
 • Additional actions taken:
 - Introduced new fan blade lubrication into production process
 May 2000 (GN Paste)
 - Introduced elastomer buttons into production May 2001 to limit
 fan blade axial travel
 - Improves N1 vibration variation
 - Evaluating the benefits of 2 plane balancing on production
 engine deliveries at Boeing flight line to improve airplane
 comfort
