Common Problems
with Industrial Fans
Q:What are the most common problems with Fans?
A:Unbalance, mechanical looseness and bearing failures.
Q:What causes unbalance?
A:Build up of material on the impeller which leads to:
! Excessive vibration
! Lubrication breakdown
! Higher operating loads and temperatures.

Q:What causes mechanical looseness?
A:Mechanical wear, excessive clearance and/or
machine components not adequately secured,
leads to fretting corrosion, wear debris
contamination and an increase in operating
temperatures and vibration levels.
Q:What causes bearing failures?
A:Bearing failures typically occur as a result
of unbalance, looseness, misalignment,
inadequate lubrication, etc.
