The gearbox is a crucial element of many rotating machines and needs to be monitored to eliminate the downtime cost. Due to continuous degradation, the gearbox failed in its desired function. To reduce and prevent the catastrophic failure of machinery, it is important to early detection of the faults. The present work reviews the fault detection techniques based on the tribological parameters.
