Operating Limits
Do not exceed the operating limits in
Table 17
through
Table
21
. A fan wheel operated beyond the rpm and temperature
limits shown can suffer permanent distortion or fracture. The
resulting unbalance can cause severe unit vibration .

Fan Vibration Levels
Each unit as shipped is trim balanced to operate smoothly . To
provide satisfactory operation after shipping and installation,
use the accepted industry guidelines for field balancing fans.
See
Table 22
.
Table 22: Vibration Levels
Fan Speed (RPM)
Vibration
800 or less
5 mils maximum displacement
801 or greater
0 .20 in/sec . maximum velocity
Note:
Excessive vibration from any cause contributes to premature fan and motor
bearing failure . Monitor overall vibration levels every six months of operation .
An increase in levels is an indication of potential trouble .
Vibration Causes
1 . Wheel imbalance .
a .
Dirt or debris on wheel blades.
b .
Loose set screws in wheel hub or bearing-to-shaft.
c . Wheel distorted from overspeed .
2 . Bent shaft .
3 . Drive faulty .
a . Variable pitch sheaves—axial and radial runout of
flanges; uneven groove spacing; out of balance.
Also similar faults in driven sheave .
b . Bad V-belts; lumpy, or mismatched; belt tension
too tight or too loose .
4 .
Bad bearings, loose bearing hold-down bolts.
5 . Motor imbalance .
6 . Fan section not supported evenly on foundation .
