Abstract
A gearbox life estimation system includes a single sensor or multiple sensors configured for obtaining field operational data related to loading of a gearbox from a single gearbox component or different gearbox components. The system further includes a processor configured for receiving signals representative of the field operational data from the sensors, for providing calculated operational load data for the gearbox components based on the field operational data, and for providing an estimate of remaining life of gearbox using the calculated operational load data.
