Fan Balancing Services
Rotating equipment can develop vibration that affects its operation and may indicate a need for inspection or maintenance. Fan balancing can help address vibration associated with an imbalance in the rotating assembly.
Fyfe Wilson provides balancing services for fans and rotors within our published capacity limits. We can discuss your equipment, operating conditions and the nature of the problem to help determine the appropriate service.
Our balancing services are available in our workshop and on-site, depending on the equipment and work required.
Fan and Rotor Balancing Capacity
Our balancing service covers:
- Maximum diameter: 700 mm.
- Maximum total mass: 100 kg.
- Service options: Workshop and on-site balancing, subject to assessment of the equipment and job requirements.
If you are unsure whether your fan or rotor falls within these limits, contact us with its dimensions, weight and details of the application.
On-Site Fan Balancing
Where equipment is installed at your premises, on-site balancing may provide a practical option for suitable fans and rotating assemblies.
Fyfe Wilson has trained operatives who carry out on-site fan balancing. We also offer condition monitoring to help identify potential equipment problems and support maintenance planning.
