Applied Vibration Analysis: Analyzing Gear Vibrations

Analyzing vibration really means interpreting vibration, and nowhere is this point better illustrated than in the analysis of gear boxes. They are literally sealed metal boxes but, with modern equipment, an experienced vibration analyst can almost peer inside the box and evaluate the condition of internal components. That’s what we’ll do in this interactive online course – apply the analysis process to diagnose developing gear box problems. To help get you there we’ll show you how to diagnose a gear mesh problem in a single reduction gear box, a gear mesh problem in a double reduction gear box, a bearing problem in a double reduction gear box and some other common gear problem signatures.
