Gear and Bearing Diagnostics Using Torque Oscillation Data
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a technique that allows for detection of gear and bearing faults using a torque transducer. Current technology uses accelerometers to measure translational vibrations in a system, a technique that is vulnerable to error from exterior vibrations. This technology uses a torque transducer to measure torsional vibrations, which are more directly related to the health of a system than translational vibrations that are more commonly used. This technology could be applied to any rotary mechanical system involving gears and/or bearings to detect and diagnose faults and more precisely perform preventative maintenance.
