The wind turbine gearbox is important rotating part to transmit torque from turbine blade to generator. Generally, gear shaft which rotates causes vibration by influence of stiffness and mass with gear shaft. Root cause of this vibration source is well known to gear transmission error that is decided from gear tooth property. Transmission error excites a gear, and makes excitation force that is vibrated shaft. This vibration of shaft is transmitted to gearbox housing through gearbox bearing. If the resonance about which the natural frequency of the gearbox accords with shaft exciting frequency occurs, a wind turbine can lead to failure. The gearbox for wind turbine should be considered influence of vibration as well as the fatigue life and its performance by such reason. The cause to vibration should be closely examined to reduce influence of such vibration. In this paper, the cause of the vibration which occurs by a gearbox is closely examined and the method which can reduce the vibration which occurred is shown. It is compared with vibration test outcome of a 3MW gearbox for verification of the method shown by this paper.

Noise reduction the noise of a high precision multi-stage gearbox applied at the industrial robot is investigated by experiment such as the modal test and the signal analysis. The signal analysis performed with the waterfall plot representing the power spectrum as a function of the rotating speed. An eccentric load is installed at the gearbox in order to organize similar condition used in the industrial robot. Exciting sources are found out by the waterfall plot, and then the main factor to make the noise is distinguish. For the low-noise gearbox, the gear design parameter is modified and this gearbox is experimented in the same procedure. The results of the test show the noise level of gearbox reduced.

A gearbox can be regarded as a self-exciting dynamic system, which has a vibration source. Transmission error (TE) is considered to be an main excitation source for gear noise and vibration. The TE excitation is transmitted through the gears, shafts, bearings, and housings. Thus, an experimental approach to each mechanical parts is useful in order to understand and evaluate the dynamic behaviour of a gearbox. This study is focused on the transmission and vibration characteristics of a helical gear system in development stage. In addition, by considering the tolerance factors and resonance characteristics, the vibration response of actual dynamic system is analysed.

This paper estimated the stability of centrifuge as its rotating speed compared with the natural frequency of cylinder and screw by finite element analysis. It shows that the one of exciting causes is the tooth passing frequency of input and output parts by the periodic characteristics of transmission error due to an planetary gear having three stages. Also, it proposed the critical speed of cylinder and screw by the Campbell diagram.
