Abstract
Pursuant to various embodiments, systems, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to monitoring one or more components coupled to shaft-driven gearbox of an engine or motor. In some approaches, the systems include a sensor, such as a vibration sensor, mechanically linked or mounted to the shaft-driven gearbox. The vibration sensor may be used to monitor a vibration response of one or more components coupled to the shaft-driven gearbox. It is contemplated, by monitoring a component coupled to the shaft-driven gearbox using the systems and methods described herein, is possible to proactively detect one or more faults in the component and/or to identify one or more maintenance actions.
