Medium vibration of 4 to 6 times per revolution is experienced on a helicopter. The primary control method is
- inspect main rotor head and main drive shaft
- design of engine and gearbox supports
- inspect loose fixtures and fittings
Explanation
A medium-frequency vibration of about 4 to 6 times per main-rotor revolution points to the main rotor head and main drive-shaft area rather than the rotor blades themselves. The primary control method is therefore to inspect the main rotor head and drive shaft, since blade-related faults produce one-per-rev (low-frequency) vibration.

-Design of engine and gearbox supports
Medium and High frequency Vibrations – Depending on the helicopter the source may be engine and transmission cooling fan and accessories such as air conditioner compressors, or driveline components.
Any ideas?
