Workshop looks at latest gearbox diagnostics

Cranfield University, together with its industrial partners, is hosting a half-day workshop on 'New technology for in-service early differential vibration diagnostics of local tooth damage in gearboxes'. Cranfield University in collaboration with three leading UK industrial partners and funded by the DTI, has experimentally adapted and validated a new condition monitoring technology which will substantially improve gearbox manufacturing, reliability and safety, provide significant reduction of maintenance costs and maintain gearbox quality. The technology is relevant to many applications, such as spur gears, bevel gears, helical gears etc.

It is of high benefit across a number of sectors: defence, aerospace, railway, automotive, power, shipbuilding, oil, gas, food, agricultural, mechanical and civil engineering.

Attendance at the workshop is subsidised by the DTI Basic Technologies for Industrial Applications (BTIA) technology transfer Programme and therefore costs just GBP 25 per delegate.
