We’re always looking for ways to make life easier for the people who install, maintain, and rely on our equipment every day. That’s why we’re excited to highlight our lubrication system designed specifically to reduce friction, both literally and figuratively, for service and maintenance teams.

Bearings are crucial for industrial centrifugal fans, supporting the fan shaft and minimizing friction. Proper bearing selection ensures efficiency, longevity, and reliability in high-performance ventilation systems.
The Role of Bearings in Centrifugal Fans
Bearings hold the shaft in place as a fan rotates. In overhung applications, they are placed in close proximity to the wheel, placed together on the drive side of the fan housing, supporting the wheel mounted on the end of the shaft. In center-hung applications, one bearing is placed on the drive side and the other is placed on the inlet side of the fan as the wheel rotates on the shaft between the bearings.
