Gearbox Condition Monitoring under Variable Operational Conditions
Abstract
The gearbox vibration spectrum is complicated and overloaded with artefacts, making it difficult for the eye to register a change due to a fault. In order to overcome this difficulty this paper presents a gearbox condition indicator, which can be trended. The gearbox condition indicator is based on the summation of the sideband levels around the first three harmonics of the gear mesh frequency. The sensitivity of the proposed gearbox condition indicator to damage is investigated using seeded improper backlash under a range of operational conditions.
