Example.
We are going to show the analysis procedure on a signal obtained on a seating of an inlet
transmission shaft with the speed frequency 25 Hz (1500 rpm) and with a gear with 65 teeth. So called
tooth frequency can be obtained by simple multiplication of the shaft revolution frequency (in Hz) by
the number of teeth.

In our example the tooth frequency is 1625 Hz (so approx. 1,6 kHz).
What are the possibilities?
Condition 1:
The transmission is OK
and tooth frequency of 1,6 kHz slightly increases vibrations in the first two
frequency ranges.
Condition 2:
Vibrations are concentrated in the last frequency range 5 – 16 kHz, the vibrations in the last area are
the same as in the area, where the tooth frequency shows itself -
