Method of detecting irregularities on bevel gears
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for detecting irregularities upon bevel gears, comprising the steps, performed simultaneously, of:
- (a) meshing together two bevel gears and rotating each of them around its central axis while they remain in mesh, transmitting power from one of them to the other;
(b) further moving the rotating bevel gears relative to one another so that the meshing area between their teeth moves on the tooth surface of at least one of them; and
(c) detecting the occurrence of vibration with a vibration detector.

Abstract
Two bevel gears are meshed together and rotated around their central axes in mesh, one of them transmitting power to the other. One of the gears is moved relative to the other, so that the meshing area between their teeth moves on the tooth surface of at least one of them. Occurrence of vibration is detected by a vibration detector. Thereby irregularities are tested for.
