Abstract
The detection of failure in its first stages provides a significant assistance in the maintenance schedule of the equipment and allows the prevention of unpredicted stops. The failure analysis has an important role in the recognition of an equipment standard behavior and in the identification of failures during operation. Using a gear test rig, a failure analysis method based on vibration techniques was developed in the present study. Through accelerometers, the vibration signal was acquired during a gear durability test. After seven hours of the test, a bearing failure occurred and it was the base of this research. It was possible to detect a rising frequency of vibration due to bearing failure on the acquired signal. The failure and the acquired data presented a coherent relation by applying the developed method. The resulting procedure can then be applied in other studies and in future failures on the test rig.
