Gearbox cracked tooth: time waveform, autocorrelation and a circular plot used together
Quick answer
A cracked gear tooth was identified by putting three views side by side: the time waveform to see irregularities, an autocorrelation signal to make the repeating fault stand out, and a circular plot to place it on the gear.
What the case covers
- The three views
- What to take from it
Takeaway. Waveform, autocorrelation and circular plot give three views of one fact: a tooth hits at the same angle every turn.
