Design Features of Standard Gear S e r i e s

Introduction
The inquiry f o r a s p e c i f i c g e a r with t h e given b a s i c d a t a of power and
speed also includes numerous a d d i t i o n a l parameters such a s climate, surrounding conditions, s p e c i f i c a t i o n s of t h e end user, main contractor and
turbcmachinery manufacturer. The general s p e c i f i c a t i o n s of ISO, API,
AGMA, etc., a r e used a s guidelines.
These s p e c i f i c a t i o n s very o f t e n do not favour an optimised s i z i n g of t h e
gear. Compromises have t o be proposed and, by making a few exceptions to
t h e received s p e c i f i c a t i o n s , a smaller, cheaper and also more r e l i a b l e
g e a r can be quoted.
MAAG has, with t h e enlarged turbo gear program, a m p l e t e series

allowing an o p t h i s a t i o n f r m both t h e technical and m e r c i a l points of

view.

A l l these variables are useful t o propose a gear design with adequate

safety f a c t o r s with respect t o the toothing, t h e bearings, t h e c r i t i c a l

speed, and the coupling design.
Technical Details
1 . l . 1 Rotating Elements

With over 70 years of experience i n toothing design MAAG has accumulated

the know-how which, for each case, allows the design of t h e optimal toothing, the adequate q u a l i t y standard and t h e general manufacture of the
gear so a s t o obtain a trouble-free, r e l i a b l e service throughout the
e n t i r e l i f e of the gear. I n the t a b l e given i n Fig. 10 a canparison is
shown between t h e toothing q u a l i t y according t o AGMA and according t o
MAAG

Above a pitch l i n e velocity of approx. 1 2 0 4 s t h e scoring factor is of

increasing importance. As the most r e n t API specification does not
consider this c r i t e r i a , MAAG may request, i n c e r t a i n cases an exception
t o the API tooth layout where the pitch l i n e velocity exeeds t h i s value.
Fig. 11 shows t h e r e l a t i o n between M G and API design c r i t e r i a .
The use of standardized s h a f t ends according t o ISO and Nema, helps t o
minimise the engineering work, and t h e a u n t of special t o o l s required,
and s i m p l i f i e s t h e q u a l i t y assurance procedure.
1 . l . 2 Bear inus
The design and layout of the w h i t e m e t a l lined bearings is based on our

own test stand r e s u l t s a s w e l l a s our experience. Depending on the speed,

2 o r 3, 4 lobe r a d i a l bearings a r e selected. For high speed applications,
t i l t i n g pad r a d i a l bearings a r e provided.
The figures f 2, 13, 1 4 , 15, 16 show t h e various bearing designs and
combinations with the a x i a l t h r u s t bearing.

design can be provided on request f o r s i n g l e stage gears but is normally
supplied f o r m u l t i p l e stage or special gears. C m e r c i a l optimization may
lead to e i t h e r solution. The use of bearing caps f o r securing t h e
bearings to t h e c a s i n g s provides t h e advantages of:

- higher

1.1.4 Lubricating O i l Requirement and t h e Lubricating O i l System

The o i l requirement for t h e l u b r i c a t i o n and cooling of t h e bearings and
toothing is c a l c u l a t e d by a canputer program. The heat load d i s t r i b u t i o n
f o r one case is shown i n Fig. 17. The l u b e o i l system f o r t h e gear is i n
most cases d i n e d with t h a t of t h e d r i v i n g or driven machine.
The use of s y n t h e t i c o i l s has shown p o s i t i v e r e s u l t s . However t h e , as y e t

unknown, f a c t o r s of humidity absorbtion and chemical aggressivness

towards the bearing m e t a l or seal r i n g s (also i n d i n a t i o n with t h e
m e d i u m s of the compressors or pumps) r e q u i r e t h a t f u r t h e r extensive
t e s t i n g be conducted. Mineral o i l s are t h e r e f o r e used i n all cases where
these influences a r e not predictable.
1 .I .5 Instrumentation
The autcanatic supervision o f turbanachinery, by means of instrumentation
a s s p e c i f i e d by t h e end user or t h e main c o n t r a c t o r , has become an
i n t e g r a l part of manufacturing a t MAAG.
The requirement, of e i t h e r d i r e c t and/or remote, measurement of t h e o i l

temperature and v i b r a t i o n of r o t o r s can be f u l l f i l l e d for all gear types.

MAAG
ZURICH

For optimization in this field we consider two main criteria which are:

the use of as few measuring points as possible, i.e. only those which
influence the running sequence of the installation
the use of instruments mounted f r m outside, to improve servicability.

These criteria help to reduce both the initial capitalisation costs as

well as the operational service costs.
1.1.5.1

Thermcmeters for ~irectMeasurement (see Fig. 18)

As the temperature range, of 20" C to 120" C. in gears is relatively
narrow, the simplest and cheapest direct temperature measurement system,
the mercury type thermcmeter, is both adequate and sufficient. The more
sophisticated dial type themometer, as specified by API, with a very
large temperature measurment range is many times more expensive and
therefore not cost effective.

1.1.5.2 Temperature Measuranent Devices for Remote Monitorinq

Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD's) or Thermocouples (TC's) with a
temperature measurement range of -220" C to +850 C are used for remote
temperature monitoring of the gear box.
The advantages of IITD's are:
accuracy, stability, exchangeability
lower system costs
- safety (positive.temperature coefficient)
- area measurement possible

Advantages of TC's:
- not sensitive to vibration
- small dimension (important for tilting pad bearings)
- short response time (point measurement)
The possible applications of FCCD's and X's (simplex and duplex types) are
shown in Fig. 19, 20, 21, 22, 23.

S h a f t Vibration Measurement
P r e s e n t l y s h a f t v i b r a t i o n measurements a r e made with non-contacting
probes. The pickups of t h e various s u p p l i e r s are made according to t h e
same standards and are t h e r e f o r e interchangable. I t seems t h a t t h e eddyc u r r e n t p r i n c i p l e is t h e most s u i t a b l e , as it allows t h e monitoring of
s h a f t s o f any electrical conducting material and is not influenced by o i l
or g a s between t h e pick-up and t h e s u r f a c e to be scanned.
S p e c i a l c a r e has to be given to t h e mechanical runout during t h e manufat u r e of t h e s h a f t s . NAAG uses a s p e c i a l protection a f t e r t h e s h a f t
reference s u r f a c e s are ground. The electrical runout is influenced by
t h e p r o p e r t i e s of t h e material. The demagnetisation or o t h e r treatment of
t h e measured s u r f a c e is e a s i e r when t h e s u r f a c e is arranged according t o
Figure 24. The s e r v i c a b i l i t y of the measured s u r f a c e is considerably
increased by t h i s design.

1.1.5.5 Casing Vibration Measurment
Acceleraneters are used far the monitoring o f t h e tooth and s h a f t requency and have been found to be a r e l i a b l e measuring instruments. A t a

space is always a v a i l a b l e .

The i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of t h e received s i g n a l s is n o t always e a s y , a s t h e

values may be influenced by t h e s t r u c t u r e on which t h e instrument is
mounted.

Taking i n t o account t h e very l a r g e v a r i e t y of standards NEC (USA), CSA

Planetary Gears

Further advantages a r e t h e c o a x i a l arrangement, t h e compactness, and the
small i n t e r i a .
The reason t h a t planetary g e a r s a r e used r e l a t i v e l y infrequently i n t h e
t u r b o machinery f i e l d is the l i m i t e d speed of the l o w speed side. Further
disavantages of planetary g e a r s are: t h e p l a n e t bearing temperature can
not be measured, i n c a s e of the PU type; lower e f f i c i e n c y ; t h e higher
noise, i f the annulus g e a r t e e t h a r e not ground; and f i n a l l y , t h e higher
p r i c e f o r i n d i v i d u a l production. However p l a n e t a r y g e a r s are very
succesful for lower s p d high torque applications. See Fig. 38 of a
v e r t i c a l p l a n e t a r y g e a r on the test bed and Fig, 39 of a planetary gear
between water t u r b i n e and generator.
For s p e c i a l a p p l i c a t i o n s i.e. g e a r s e t s f o r "gensets" ( l o w speed), an
i n t e g r a t e d design with optimised layout ( e l i m i n a t i o n of t h e high speed
bearing) is possible. Improved e f f i c i e n c i e s canpared w i t h p a r a l l e l s h a f t
