FAQ

How do I measure wobble amplitude?

Use a ruler or a phone app to measure the maximum side-to-side movement of the fan's outer edge while running at high speed. Record the peak-to-peak distance in millimeters.

What if my fan has no current weights?

Enter 0 for each blade's current weight. The calculator will recommend a starting weight based on your measurements.

Can this fix a noisy fan?

Yes, if the noise is caused by imbalance. The calculator also checks for other issues like loose screws or mounting problems and will suggest those fixes if needed.

Is it safe to add weights myself?

Yes, using a proper balance kit or adhesive weights. Always turn off power before working on the fan and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
