Field Investigation of Gearbox Vibration Due to Cracked Motor Rotor Bars
Abstract
Approximately one year after installing a new gearbox, vibration levels were gradually increasing. The tire plant requested that the gearbox manufacturer investigate under warranty. A field study was performed by an independent engineering company to measure the vibration of the motor, gearbox, and rubber mixer unit at the plant.
