Fan Balancing

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.

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.

Fan problems can arise from several sources, including motor faults, worn bearings or damage to mechanical components. Fyfe Wilson can recondition fans and carry out associated mechanical repairs.

Our services include:

  • Fan overhaul and reconditioning.
  • Shaft repairs.
  • Dynamic fan balancing.
  • Bearing replacement.
  • Pulley alignment.

Our metal fabrication department can undertake suitable fan repair work, while our mechanical engineers can attend site for tasks such as bearing replacement and pulley alignment.

For complete units requiring electrical isolation and removal for maintenance, our electricians can also attend site.

By considering the fan and its associated components, we can discuss the appropriate repair options for your equipment.

Condition monitoring can help identify changes in equipment condition and highlight potential problems before they lead to equipment failure.

Fyfe Wilson offers on-site condition monitoring alongside its balancing and mechanical services. The information gathered can help inform maintenance decisions and support efforts to reduce unplanned equipment downtime.

If you are experiencing recurring vibration or have concerns about rotating equipment, contact our team to discuss your maintenance requirements.
