1 Wheel SFD and SFB fans have forward-curved centrifugal wheels constructed of
die formed steel with blades securely riveted to a steel backplate and rim.
Each wheel is statically and dynamically balanced to precise tolerances.
SWB Series 100 and 200 through size 210 have backward-inclined non-
overloading centrifugal wheels constructed of aluminum. Series 200, sizes
212 and larger and Series 300 wheels are constructed of steel or aluminum.
Backward-inclined wheels are made of a heavy-gauge material with single-
thickness blades securely riveted or welded to a heavy-gauge backplate
and wheel cone. SWB Series 300 fans are available with aluminum airfoil
wheels. Each wheel is statically and dynamically balanced to precise
tolerances.

3 Housing SFD and SWB Series 100 housings are constructed of galvanized steel.
SFB and SWB Series 200 and 300 housings are constructed of steel
and coated with Permatector™. Both are available in clockwise or
counterclockwise rotation and are field rotatable to the eight standard
discharge positions. Housing sides are bonded to the fan scroll with an
airtight lock seam. Fully welded scrolls are available on SFB and SWB
Series 200 and 300 models.

6 Drive
Frame Series 100 and 200 drive frames are constructed of rugged, welded
and coated steel members (Series 300 drive frames are constructed of
reinforced heavy gauge galvanized steel) supporting the shaft and bearings
to provide rigid reinforcement for the housing. SFD drive frames are
constructed of galvanized steel, bolted and available in arrangement 4

12 Fan Shaft Precision turned, ground and polished solid steel shafts are sized so the
first critical speed is at least 25% over the maximum operating speed.
Stainless steel shafts are available on SWB Series 200 and 300 fans.

13 Bearings Heavy-duty, self-aligning pillow block ball bearings are selected for a
minimum L10 life in excess of 100,000 hours (L50 average life of 500,000
hours) at maximum cataloged operating conditions.
