the impeller are not deformed or bent and do not catch at any
point.
NOTE
Damage to the device from vibration
Bearing damage, shorter service life
→ The fan must not be subjected to force or excessive vibration
from sections of the installation. #If the fan is connected to air
ducts, the connection should be isolated from vibration, e.g.
using compensators or similar elements. #Ensure stress-free
attachment of the fan to the substructure.
