Gear Noise
Noise from an operating gear set is a function of roundness and concen-tricity of operating elements (both gearing and shafting)， accurate balanceand， in particular， control of tooth spacing errors and uniformity of mesh stiffness to reduce meshing frequency excitation. It is significant that for submarinegears， where the ultimate in quietness is essential， the hallmarksare moderate tooth loading， finepitch， high-helixangle， and low-pressure angle.all diametrically opposite from the usual and necessary practicefor single-helical， hardened and ground gearing， which have low-helix angle(for minimumthrust)， very coarse pitch teeth (to get adequate strength)， and high loading (because of the carburized hardening).
Some factors causing gear noise can be attributedto， but not limitedto， the following:
1. Tooth spacing or involute error
2. Contact ratio
3. Surface finish
4. Wear on tooth flanks or pitting
5. Excessive or too little backlash
6.Gear，
shaft， or housing resonance
7. Tooth deflections
8. Pitch-line runout
9. Load intensity on gearing
10. Clutches and couplings
11. Lube oil pump and piping
12. Transmitted noise from driven or driving machinery
.nstallation and .nitial .peration
The mounting of a gearbox into trains is a precision job and should be done carefully. Gear unit installation is one of the most important factors tobe considered forlong， trouble-free operation. No matter how accurately thegear unit is manufactured， it can be destroyed in a few hours of operation when improperly installed. The same care should be taken when installing a gearbox as with any high-speed machinery. The mounting surface should beaflat，level， single-plane surface of finished steel at a height that will permit the shimming necessary to align the gear unit properly to connecting shafts. The shims should be of a size at least equal to the width of the unit foot pad. Then the gear unit should be placed on the foundation in the approximate required position. Uneven supports can distort the gearbox and adversely affect the gear tooth contact.
