Diagnosis of gearbox defects at an early stage is very important to avoid catastrophic failures. This article presents experimental results of tests made to evaluate the cracks of the cylindrical gears of a transfer case under advanced test conditions. For the diagnosis of a gearbox, various signal processing techniques are mainly used for the vibration study of the gears, such as: Fast Fourier Transform, synchronous time average, and time-based wavelet transformation, etc. Various methods can be found in the literature which can be used to calculate the residual signal (RS), however, in this paper, we suggest a new method combined empirical mode decomposition (EMD) technique with RS for detection of the crack gear. In order to extract the associated defect characteristics of the transfer box vibration signals, the EMD has been performed. The results show the effectiveness of the EMD method in the evaluation of tooth cracking in spur gears. This effectiveness can be proved by the obtained results of the experimental tests, which were presented and carried out on a test rig equipped with a transfer box.
