Analysis of Automatic Transmission Vibration for Clutch Slippage Detection

• Heavy duty construction equipment is generally equipped with automatic transmission enablingto change gear ratio automatically. The clutches in an automatic transmission transfer torquefrom the engine to the gearbox and clutch failures may result in costly downtime of constructionequipment. To prevent costly downtime of construction equipment, condition monitoring in com-bination with condition based maintenance may be utilized. Different sensor data are collectedon a machine that enables condition monitoring. Vibration have been measured on an automatictransmission in a construction equipment machine during controlled driving sessions, with andwithout clutch slippage, on a test track. An initial investigation of the vibration measured on theautomatic transmission have been carried out with the purpose to find out if the vibration maycontain reliable information related to clutch slippage considered to be abnormal. Initial signalanalysis of the data have been carried out using Spectrogram and Spectral Kurtosis methods. Theresults indicate that information related to abnormal clutch slippage may be extracted from vibra-tion measured on an automatic transmission in a construction equipment machine.
