Abstract
There is a need to treat a gearbox as a subsystem which consist of several elements like gears, bearings and shafts incorporated into a box. The gearbox is incorporated into a system of a drive, for example an electric motor, and a driven machine. When a system is in operation the mention elements interacts each other. When preparing condition method one has for disposal results of the research directed to evaluation of isolated faults like a tooth crack, tooth breakage, pitting, scuffing, misalignment and so on. It is taken in advance that only one of the mentioned faults occurs in the system. The research is done at the condition of constant load or constant rotation speed. There is also done research under condition of different constant levels of the load and rotation speed. The scenario of degradation process of gearboxes is that only one fault occurs and developed in the system. In real gearbox systems many different scenarios of degradation process may occur. The presented paper will show gearbox condition monitoring procedures, which is equivalent to different scenarios. There are given some steps, which ought be considered when gearbox condition monitoring procedures are developed. Having in mined these steps one can control the gearbox degradation process extending a gearbox live and reducing maintenance cost, creating, what is called, the failure prevention technology. For presenting this paper stimulates us also the papers presented in the MSSP “Special Issue” on the “Condition monitoring of machines in non-stationary operations” where some authors have tendency of treating the machine as the collection of separate not connected elements in the same way as it was stated before.
