A New Fault Diagnosis Method for Planetary Gearbox

Abstract–Planetary gearbox is widely used in many fields due to its robustness and high power-weight ratio, but implementation of fault diagnosis on it is challenging. This paper proposes a new fault diagnosis method for planetary gearbox based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and adaptive multi-scale morphological gradient filter (AMMGF). The proposed method has two dominant strengths: it...

Misalignment Diagnosis of a Planetary Gearbox Based on Vibration Analysis

As a critical power transmission system, planetary gearbox is widely used in many industrial important machines such as wind turbines, aircraft turbine engines, helicopters. Early fault detection and diagnosis of the gearbox will help to prevent unexpected breakdowns of this important equipment. Misalignment is one of the major operating problems in the planetary gearbox which may be caused by ...

Planetary Gearbox Fault Diagnosis Using a Single Piezoelectric Strain Sensor

Planetary gearboxes are widely used in the drivetrain of helicopters and wind turbines. Any planetary gearbox failure could lead to breakdown of the whole drivetrain and major loss of helicopters and wind turbines. Therefore, planetary gearbox fault diagnosis is an important topic in prognostics and health management (PHM). Planetary gearbox fault diagnosis has been done mostly through vibratio...

Experimental Analyses of Vibration and Noise of Faulted Planetary Gearbox

ABSTRACT Epicyclic gear trains are widely used in various industrial sectors due to their advantages over fixed-axis gears, such as high torque capability, compact size, differential and planetary designs, ease of adjusting gear ratios and even directions of rotation. This research focuses on planetary gearbox whose degree of freedom is one. The geometry and dynamics of the planetary gear train...
