CS8 Vibration Analysis to Detect Gear Damage

Gear mesh vibration frequencies are typically easy to recognise, but not easy to interpret.
The following case history shows how spectral analysis proved invaluable in helping identify a problem gear in a cooling tower fan gearbox.

It is estimated that a saving of £4,500 was made due to early fault detection, however, had this unit catastrophically failed then secondary damage could have run into many thousands of pounds more as the potential for damage to blades and structure is high.
