This paper describes the use of wear debris examination as a condition monitoring technique for the Sikorsky Sea King helicopter main gearbox. It reviews the various wear mechanisms thought responsible for wear particle production in this system and discusses the need for information on system design and cleanliness, component composition and feedback from operators and maintainers on the overall effectiveness of the program. It illustrates through case studies how quantity, size and morphology of debris particles are used in assessing internal condition and emphasizes the use of x-ray microanalysis in identifying the likely sources of wear particles.
