Analyzing Gearbox Degradation Using Time-Frequency Signature Analysis SpectraQuest Inc. 8205 Hermitage Road Richmond, VA 23228 (804)261-3300 March, 2006 Abstract: In this work, vibration signature caused by gear tooth seeded fault is studied in the time and frequency domains. The experiment was conducted on a Machinery Fault Simulator TM (MFS). The pinion gear in the gearbox was intentionally faulted with increasing severities, and a vibration signal was collected for each case. The signal was analyzed in a time and frequency domain. The results indicated that the vibration signature of a faulted bevel gear tooth is a pulse in time domain. Because of this impulse signal, strong sidebands arise in the spectrum around the mesh frequency. Test Setup The experiment is conducted on a Machinery Fault Simulator TM (MFS). The MFS and the position of the gearbox in the MFS are illustrated in Fig. 1. Figure 1. MFS and Gearbox in MFS The gearbox is shown in Fig. 2(a). The transmission ratio is 1.5:1. There are two straight bevel gears in the gearbox and they are shown in Fig. 2(b). The number of teeth on the pinion is 18. The gearbox input shaft is connected to a sheave and driven by a “V” belt drive. The gearbox output shaft is connected with a variable brake loader. The tachometer is installed on the rotor deck with a bracket and used to measure the speed of the belt sheave connected to the gearbox input shaft as illustrated in Fig. 3. 1 (a) gearbox (b) pinion and gear Figure 2.
