Good Day.
We’re experiencing high gear mesh vibrations at certains speeds on our
SAG Mill Pinion. It’s a dual drive Mill. It’s not gear defect or bearing related. We’re thinking it may be process related. If anyone has experience resolving this type of vibration on SAG Mills or Ball Mills, let me know.
Thanks
