Construction and Design
The Damage to Gears Kit - Vibrano X - 13 is built around a gear unit with two shafts and a transmission ratio of 1:3. The centre distance is adjustable, and the reference profile conforms to DIN 867. The kit includes spur toothed gear sets with a gear wheel of 75 teeth and pinion of 25 teeth, each at module m=2mm, as well as helical gear sets of the same tooth counts and module, featuring a helix angle of 10°.
The housing is equipped with sensor holes to facilitate vibration experiments. A transparent housing cover allows observation of gear operation without interrupting measurements. Adjustable bearing plates allow the effects of center distance and backlash to be studied. Gears can be lubricated with either grease or oil, with lubrication type influencing the vibration signal. This Damage to Gears Kit mounts onto the base plate of the machinery diagnostic system and requires a brake and load unit, available separately, to apply load during testing.
