A two‑stage spur‑gear reducer was instrumented in the Dynamic Systems & Control Laboratory at the University of Connecticut.
Stage 1: 32‑tooth pinion ↔ 80‑tooth gear
Stage 2: 48‑tooth pinion ↔ 64‑tooth gearA 3‑axis PCB accelerometer was mounted on the housing; signals were sampled at 20 kHz through a dSPACE DS1006 board while the shaft ran under constant torque supplied by an adjustable magnetic brake. Shaft speed was logged with a tachometer and used to perform Time‑Synchronous Averaging (TSA) so every record starts at the same angular position, eliminating speed wander.
