The bearings in industrial fans operate under high speed and relatively light radial loads. These bearings may also operate under extreme high or low temperature conditions, or in locations that are difficult to maintain. The airflow of the fan is often used to transport materials, and over time, the materials will accumulate on the impeller, causing imbalance and even reducing the normal operating time and service life of the fan.

The higher the fan speed, the more heat is generated by the bearings. If you want to achieve and maintain high speed operation, sometimes you may need to upgrade your fan's lubrication method: you may have to upgrade to more expensive oil bath lubrication, or even more expensive circulating oil lubrication. However, in some cases, the speed can be increased without changing the lubrication method. The self-aligning bearing system dedicated to industrial fans and hot air fans allows for higher speeds, which can help you address these issues, optimize combination components, avoid expensive lubrication upgrades, extend refill lubrication intervals, reduce energy consumption, and improve reliability for grease lubricated and oil lubricated fans.

The challenges of these operating conditions pose high performance requirements for fan bearing configuration schemes. Based on extensive on-site experience, we provide solutions for industrial fans and HVAC systems that can improve cost-effectiveness and achieve fault free operation.
