The original hub was a 34-piece steel weldment that required substantial labor.

contractor for machining and painting before the customer received hubs that were ready to be assembled, balanced and installed in the ventilation system. T e casting conversion reduced overall manufacturing
costs by 50% by simplifying the component from 34 pieces of steel that required sawing, rolling, machining, fi t-up and welding to a single casting. T e casting also performed above expectation when
the customer’s engineers put the component through an intense series of tests. “It’s supposed to last forever and that’s what our
customers expect,” said the customer’s engineer. “I did a lot of destructive testing when we received the castings. We built the hub into an impeller and fired steel rods at it. We couldn’t break the thing. We haven’t had them in the field for 10 years yet, but from our testing they are plenty capable.” The casting conversion also improved performance
related to the adjustable blades on the outside of the hub. The original weldment had a flat outer edge, which created a gap between the blade base and hub when the blades were rotated. With the casting’s curved outer surface, the blades now can rotate while remain- ing tight to the hub. “In the weldment, where the hub was fl at, you had a big gap when you turned the blade 20 degrees,” said the customer’s mechanical engineer. “Now we can curve the blades to match the outside of the hub, which helps with the performances of the fan.” ■
