Fan Balancing Trainer
Model Number: 202-000
Realistic hands-on training for fan balancing and vibration analysis.
Overview
DAC Worldwide’s Fan Balancing Trainer (202-000) is a precision assembly allowing for convenient demonstration and training in fan balancing and other vibration analysis-related topics. Based on the design of a typical squirrel cage fan, this heavy-duty aluminum device allows for assembly in a variety of configurations, creating a broad range of balancing scenarios.
Movable pillow block assemblies, provision for even or odd number blade configurations, and multiple weight locations combine to create a challenging and realistic training tool.
The Fan Balancing Trainer features an aluminum baseplate/bearing pedestal assembly with a 1/4 HP, totally enclosed, continuous-duty, fan-cooled, split-phase motor with thermal protection and associated control switch.

Hands-On Training
This trainer provides a realistic, hands-on learning experience using a heavy-duty assembly based on a typical squirrel cage fan. Learners can create a broad range of balancing scenarios by changing physical configurations and working directly with real components.
- Move pillow block assemblies to vary setups
- Configure the fan with even or odd blade counts
- Attach trial weights on rotors or blades
- Mount vibration pick-ups in axial and radial positions
- Access the fan through the housing door for convenient setup changes
