EMAIL TIPS Volume 90 March 2013 Perspectives
Recent trends in Vibration Analysis training indicate that students are favoring shorter sessions that focus in specific aspects of analysis. Formal 3-4 day seminars tend to pack a lot of information into short blocks that might not be adequately absorbed by the student. The solution might not be to repeat the course, or just proceed to the next level. Rather, many students benefit from “concentrated” courses on specific concepts that are eluding them.
Full Spectrum Diagnostics fills this gap with short (2-day) seminars on Spectrum Analysis, Time Waveform Analysis, Phase Analysis and hardware specific Rolling Element Bearing & Gear Analysis.
These courses also benefit the student by contributing formal classroom hours required by ASNT and ISO for certification at VA-III (Cat IV) levels. See the training schedules included in this publication.

Another Look at the Cover:
The cover image shows a 1.6 MW Wind Turbine that was experiencing bearing problems within the planetary gearbox. The gearbox included four rotating shafts supported by nine rolling element bearings and three sets of meshing gears (including a planetary set). To define and understand the bearing signatures required an understanding of the entire gearbox.
The [95:1] gear ratio required both high and low speed vibration analysis techniques, Time Waveform analysis, and ultrasonic analysis. Adding in the planetary system and things get real interesting. More analysis details inside.
GEARBOX TIP
The analysis of “Planetary” or “Epicyclic” Gearboxes are not the most “straight forward” of tasks. Just following the step-by-step directions can be challenging. After analysis the hard way, a simplified table was discovered online that makes analysis much easier. The table outlines the seven (7) dominant configurations of these gearbox systems. Plugging tooth counts in the formulas allows the user to calculate the relative speed of the gears with respect to the reference (known) driving member speed.
Step 1: Choose planetary configuration.
Review of the gear system should indicate a stationary Gear, a Driving Member, and a Driven Member.
In this case, the Driving Member is the Turbine Input. The Ring Gear is Fixed in the gearbox housing. The Sun Gear is the Driven Gear. The system corresponds to Table Configuration #3.
Step 2: Input the Gear Tooth counts.
The tooth counts (not the Gear Ratios) are important for this analysis. If a drawing cannot be found that discloses the tooth counts, the analyst must gain access to the gearbox and manually count the teeth on each Sun, Planet, and Ring gear.
TRING = 75 TPLANET = 28 TSUN = 18
SRATIO = [(R+S)/S] = [(75+18)/18] = 5.167 PRATIO = [(R/P)] = [(75/28)] = 2.678 Step 3: Scale to Driving Member Speed. The table results are presented as a ratio of the driving member rotational speed.
For an Input Speed of 19 RPM (Planet Carrier) the Output (Sun Gear) speed is 5.167 x 19 RPM or 98.2 RPM. The Planet Gear rotating speed is 2.678 x 19 RPM or 50.9 RPM.
There is only ONE Gear Meshing Frequency generated in this system:
GMF = 19 x 75T = 1425 CPM GMF = 50.9 x 28T = 1425 CPM GMF = (98.2 – 19) x 18T = 1425 CPM
