This accessory setup is designed to simulate typical gear damage and study its impact on vibration characteristics. It includes various gear sets with damaged teeth, alongside undamaged sets for comparison. The setup also demonstrates the differences between spur-toothed and helical gearing. Adjustable bearing plates allow for studying the effects of center distance and backlash. The choice of lubrication type (grease or gear oil) significantly influences the vibration signal, which can be explored during experiments. A housing with sensor holes facilitates vibration experiments, while a transparent cover allows observation of the gear’s operation without interrupting vibration measurements. To apply load to the gear unit, a brake and load unit is necessary. The entire accessory setup mounts onto the base plate of the machinery diagnostic system. For measuring and analyzing the experiments, a computerized vibration analyzer is essential. This system includes all required sensors, a measuring amplifier, and analysis software capable of recording and evaluating vibration phenomena effectively.
