Application guide
Balancing industrial fans on site
Fans are the machine most often balanced on site: the impeller stays in its own bearings, and all you need is a sound rotor, a stable operating condition and access to the correction planes.

Direct answer
Can Balanset-1A balance a fan?
Yes, for a rigid fan rotor with one or two accessible correction planes. Measure near both bearings, use one reflective phase mark and verify that the 1× rotational component is consistent before correcting mass.
Before the first run
Mechanical checks come first
- Clean the impeller and remove deposits.
- Check blades, hub, shaft, bearings, foundation and fasteners.
- Confirm that dampers and process conditions will remain stable during every run.
Order of work
A controlled balancing sequence
- 01
Mount vibration sensors rigidly near the drive- and non-drive-end bearings.
- 02
Place one reflective mark and align the tachometer for one clean pulse per revolution.
- 03
Record baseline amplitude and phase at the normal controlled speed.
- 04
Add a securely attached trial weight in the selected plane, repeat the run, then apply the calculated correction.
- 05
Remove the trial mass unless the software explicitly includes it, and complete a verification run.

Not sure which system fits your machine?
Just write what machine you have — a fan, a crusher, a pump, anything that rotates. Our engineers will take it from there and confirm the right setup before you order.
