Summary The large variety of fans can be classified in different ways. Generally, there are two categories that are based on the fan’s directions of airflow or gas moved: centrifugal fans and axial flow fans. This article, a reprint from the 1982 SKF "S-Range" handbook, covers the following areas as they relate to fans: bearing arrangements and lubrication. Guidelines for fan load calculations are adapted from the later SKF PI 113 E publication, 1987. The bearing designs and housings are subjected to change. Recommended bearing arrangements with spherical and CARB bearings are not included; see also SKF 4417 publication, "Self-Aligning Bearing Systems", 2000.
