Two-Plane Dynamic Balancing: How to Balance a Fan impeller and Blower

Before we discuss HOW to balance a fan, it is critical to explain WHY we perform Dynamic Balancing. Please note that to improve the performance and maintenance of your fans, it is necessary to balance the wheel in a single or two-plane balance setup, either onsite or in-shop. This procedure will help reduce vibration which, could lead to machine failure.

Measuring Amplitude against frequency

The first step for balancing a fan Impeller and blower is to measure the initial vibration by placing a transducer closest to the bearing (Check for best positioning of vibration transducers on bearing point). Readings can be seen on a Vibration Spectrum report. If the Overall amplitude of vibration exceeds published industry standards for the class of machine and 1X component exceeds 80% of the overall value, then an unbalance condition is most likely the root of the problem.

Who can perform Dynamic Balancing of Fan Impeller?

At DUTECO, we have our engineers and technicians remotely situated in Lagos State, Nigeria and ready to travel to your facilities to carry out our dynamic balancing services.

Who can perform Dynamic Balancing of Fan Impeller?

DUTECO is a trusted provider of dynamic balancing services. We are the perfect partner to help balance your rotating machinery. We offer our services nationwide (carried out dynamic balancing in your facility), there’s no reason why you would look elsewhere to have your parts balanced.

Measuring Phase

The second step in balancing a fan impeller and blower is to identify the phase or phases where the imbalance is most significant.

Determining Adjustments

The balancing equipment now uses the information gained from initial runs to let us know where and how much the imbalance is. Thus, we know where to make adjustments to restore balance by either welding weight on (or grinding weight away 180 degrees across). And that’s how to balance an industrial fan is carried out.
