Effects of Transmission Ratio on the Nonlinear Vibration Characteristics of a Gear-Driven High-Speed Centrifugal Pump by Anmin Zhou, Lulu Zhai, Zuchao Zhu, Jia Guo, Xinglin Zhang, Baoling Cui

“…Quite different from those under the other states, under this jump motion state, the 0.2fg component and 0.5fp component will appear in the vibration responses of both gears and become the most contributed two factors to the responses of the driven gear. (3) In the design process, the transmission ratio of a high-speed centrifugal pump with a simplified GRSB system should be specially designed to avoid the jump-point state and the maximum-amplitude-of-fm state to ensure the stability of the system as well as reduce the mechanical impacts and noises.…”
