Planetary bearings inside a helicopter main gearbox (MGB) are key components, successful diagnosis of planetary bearing defects benefits helicopter maintenance, reducing accidents rate and increasing aircraft flightworthiness. Most widely adopted methods for bearing fault diagnosis are envelope analysis and kurtogram; both have achieved many successes in practical application. However, diagnosis of...
The main gearbox (MGB) is a crucial part of a helicopter. MGB bearings suffer intensively from stress and friction during flights hence concerns for their health condition and detecting potential defects become critical for the sake of operation safety and system reliability. In this study, bearing defects were seeded in the second epicyclic stage bearing of a commercial Class A helicopter MGB. Vibration...
