CBM CONNECT Presents:

Diagnosing Gearbox Faults with Vibration Analysis by Jason Tranter, Founder & CEO, Mobius Institute

Summary:

Gearboxes are one of the most critical components in many plants; either because of their replacement cost and lead-time, and/or because of the criticality of their service. They also pose significant challenges for vibration analysts. Collecting waveforms and spectra that will indicate the presence of a fault, and accurately diagnosing the nature and severity of the fault, can test the skills of most analysts. In this Webinar, Jason will utilize a range of animations and animated simulators to explain how spectra, waveforms, time synchronous averaging, and auto correlation can be used to diagnose faults.

Takeaways:

1. What are the key defect frequencies and waveform patterns for the most common failure modes?

2. What is the best way to set the spectral and time waveform measurement settings?

3. How can spectra, time waveforms, TSA, auto correlation, and circle plots be used to detect and diagnose fault conditions?
