GENERAL
The Gear Alignment Module acquires simultaneous
data from up to 8 strain gauges installed along the
width of a gear root, at up to 14 kHz per channel
(112 kHz aggregate data rate). Captured data can
be analysed using bespoke-supplied software, or
exported for external evaluation. An example of
the response from one gauge during a mesh cycle
is shown in detail in Figure 1, along with several
events over a longer period in Figure 2.
By evaluating the amplitude of these transient
events at all strain gauge positions, the relative
load intensity can be plotted, as shown for a range
of load conditions in Figure 3. In this example
there is only a minor misalignment of the mesh.
