Abstract: In this paper, a study of the vibrations that appear in the transmission shafts of an adder gearbox used for a heavy truck is made. The truck has two engines on only one chassis and the power offered by these engines is summated and transmitted to the truck or the working machine. This type of transmission is used for oil production installation for the army. During the transportation of the installation to the workplace, only one engine is running, after mounting installation, both engines are running. This paper studies the vibrations of the adder gearbox, a complex construction, subjected to multiple operating requirements. In this regard, the authors first performed accuracy (accuracy) tests of the VIC 3D system on an original experimental mini-stand. Measurements performed on a mini disc demonstrated the validity and accuracy of the method, even if the cameras used were not high resolution. The authors applied the same principle in the case of the adder box from the truck, obtaining useful results for those in the field. The experimental method uses the facilities of a contactless optical measurement method (VIC-3D), which provides a high-accuracy quantitative linear and angular vibration analysis. The VIC measurement method offers, based on a frontal viewing of the disk during the resonance phenomenon and by simple calculus on the monitored linear displacements, the corresponding angular amplitude.
