Vibration condition monitoring techniques for fault diagnosis of tractor gearbox

The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between vibration analysis and fault diagnosis tractor gearbox. This was achieved by vibration analysis and investigating different operating conditions of tractor (MF-285) gearbox. This gearbox coupled to the electromotor that was run under two levels of speed, 500 and 1000 RPM. The gear conditions were considered to be normal gearbox, worn and broken-teeth gears faults with the aim of fault detection. Vibration data was collected from the inspected gearbox and compared with vibration spectra in normal condition of healthy machine. The results from this study have given more understanding on the dependent roles of vibration analysis in predicting and diagnosing machine faults.
