Gear motion of gearboxes can be calculated. A system includes a gear box, a sensor, and at least one data processor. The gear box includes a structure with a plurality of gears. The sensor is operatively coupled to the gear box and is configured to detect an operational parameter associated with a first gear of the gear box. The at least one data processor is configured to: receive, from the sensor, data characterizing the detected operational parameter associated with the gear box; generate a mesh pair matrix for the plurality of gears based on data characterizing the structure of the gear box; determine, from the mesh pair matrix, a calculated value of the operational parameter of the first gear of the plurality of gears; determine, based on the calculated value and the detected value of the operational parameter, an operational metric of the first gear; and provide the operational metric.
A system comprising:
The system of claim 3, wherein data characterizing the structure of the gear box includes a first number of teeth of the first gear, a second number of teeth of a second gear of the plurality of gears, and an orientation between the first number of teeth and the second number of teeth.
A method comprising:
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one data processor, cause the at least one data processor to perform operations comprising:
