An attempt to reduce the vibration of gearbox with non-parallel shaft axes by modifying the spur gear fixing method

Abstract

In this paper authors carried out research, while modified gear fixing was used to limit the vibrations of the gearbox with non-parallel shaft axes. For tests modified back-to-back test stand was used. During test gearbox worked without load, with various rotational frequency and value of non-parallelism of shafts axes. Analysis of the obtained results presents that only in some cases the use of modified fixing of gear causes a reduction of the measured vibrations.
