Novel adaptation of the demodulation technology for gear damage detection to variable amplitudes of mesh harmonics
This technology won the “William Smith Prize 2009”, Aerospace Industries Division of IMechE. It is an output from a DTI (UK) project Sustain: grant code STI 6-037, with ERIKS (UK), Severn Trent Water and Compact Orbital Gears. The technology offers early in-service automatic differential damage diagnosis. It was further developed and experimentally validated within a Rolls-Royce project: reference 5000393909. Implementation for Sustain partners and Rolls-Royce has enabled these companies to maintain a world-leading edge in gearbox maintenance (market share of 12% envisaged with annual sales of 3000 monitoring systems).
