Abstract

Gearboxes have been investigated and monitored for decades since they present one of the important transmission power systems which have been used in navy, air and automotive sectors. One of the most adopted one is the planetary gearbox since it has an important reduction ratio within compact space. The dynamic behaviour of a such one is very complicated because it possesses several gears in mesh and differs from other types of gearboxes by the fact that planet gears can occupy different positions in one period carrier rotation which leads to an important influence on the overall vibration signal acquired by a transducer mounted one the external housing. Consequently, in a measured vibration spectrum, the pass planet frequency component is identified and its energy level is considered only as the pass planet energy. However, there is another phenomenon that increases the level of the pass planet frequency component which is the disequilibrium phenomenon due to the rotation of planets. In this work, a comprehensive monitoring of a staged planetary gearbox is presented. The unbalance phenomenon is investigated in every stage. Then, an experimental validation is provided in order to support our hypothesis claiming that the disequilibrium phenomenon depends on the parity of the number of planets.
