Abstract

The aim of this paper is to illustrate a new method for monitoring a gearbox during the reliability test (or duration test). In particular it is illustrated the tune-up of an algorithm for monitoring this test in order to stop it if an unexpected event occurs. In the first part it is explained the reliability test, why and how it is performed on a gearbox. In the second part it is showed the selection of the best points for the measurement and the equipment used for the assessment. In the third part it is presented the algorithm for improving the reliability test. We have settled the algorithm in order to stop the test if the gearbox will be damaged for any reason. By using this algorithm, we can early detect a gear crack, having so the advantage both of providing the integrity of the gearbox and the possibility of inspecting it.
