Fan Bearing Maintenance: Lubrication, Temperature and Early Warning Signs

4 min read

Bearings are the part of an industrial fan most likely to fail, and most failures trace back to lubrication: too little, too much, the wrong grease, or contamination. A practical maintenance routine for belt-driven and direct-driven fans.

Fan Selection at Altitude and Temperature: Correcting for Air Density

5 min read

Fan curves are drawn for standard air at 1.2 kg/m³. At 2,000 m, or with gas at 200 °C, the same fan moves the same volume but develops less pressure and absorbs less power, and a hot-gas fan started cold can overload its motor. How to correct a selection properly.

Impeller Balancing Grades and Vibration Limits

3 min read

What a balance grade number actually permits, why the same grade means a tighter tolerance at higher speed, and the vibration reading that tells you a fan is destroying its own bearings.
