A New Fault Diagnosis Method for Planetary Gearbox

چکیده
Abstract–Planetary gearbox is widely used in many fields due to its robustness and high power-weight ratio, but implementation of fault diagnosis on it is challenging. This paper proposes a new fault diagnosis method for planetary gearbox based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and adaptive multi-scale morphological gradient filter (AMMGF). The proposed method has two dominant strengths: it can be applied to non-linear and nonstationary signal, and it can achieve the goal of de-noising. The framework of the proposed method is introduced first. Experimental data acquired from a planetary gearbox test-rig is then utilized to validate effectiveness of the proposed method. The method is demonstrated to have good performance on both extracting faults characteristic frequency and de-noising.

Studies on fault detection and diagnosis of planetary gearboxes are quite limited compared with those of fixed-axis gearboxes. Different from fixed-axis gearboxes, planetary gearboxes exhibit unique behaviors, which invalidate fault diagnosis methods that work well for fixed-axis gearboxes. It is a fact that for systems as complex as planetary gearboxes, multiple sensors mounted on different lo...
