There are different analysis methods for gear damage encountered in reducers. The most reliable method is to examine the process using multiple methods. The use and comparison of these methods for a single fault is shared below. 1) Gear Condition Determination with Vibration Analysis Acceleration spectrum time waveform analysis is frequently preferred in gear condition assessment through vibration analysis.
Various analysis methods, including vibration analysis, oil particle quantity monitoring, ultrasonic measurement, and temperature monitoring, were used to detect gear failure in a reducer. The equipment was placed under maintenance following the analyses, and the planned shutdown was brought forward to minimize downtime and potential production losses.
