It is known that a local fault on gear tooth will generates a low-level impulse every time the fault contacts another gear tooth surface during meshing causing a modulation effect on the gear vibration signal and possibly exciting the structural resonances. 齿轮的局部故障将导致一对啮合的齿轮,每旋转一圈的过程中会产生低幅脉冲信号,它会和齿轮的结构共振信号产生调制现象。
