The locomotive gear vortex detector

1.Overviews
 
The safe operation of locomotive involves lives and property safety of passengers. After running for a long time, the drive gear for locomotive wheel set is easy to produce fatigue crack, if not be found timely, it is possible to affect safety operation of locomotive.
 
For testing the parts near the wheel for locomotive wheel set drive gear in case of no removing the gear and wheel set, the space is narrow, and magnetic particle testing is not easy to observe, and there is the possibility of missed detection.
 
Vortex detection of gear parts has a wide application prospect. Using vortex detection, the part surface does not need be pretreated, and by the detection method , the reliable detection of weld location and crack direction can be obtained. Using the detection method, the detection in situ under the condition of not removing is possible, and the quantitative detection of crack depth is also possible.
 
The detection of whole gear can be completed only within two or three minutes by adopting vortex detection method and special probe clamp developed according to the characteristics that crack is easy to create on forced location of the gear. At the same time of avoiding missed detection, it also can improve the testing efficiency, reduce labor intensity.
