What was found
DURING REMOVAL OF FAN ASSEMBLY WHICH IS MOUNTED ON A TAPERED SHAFT, THE FAN MOUNTING HUB WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED THROUGH. ALSO THE REINFORCEMENT PLATE WHICH IS USED TO STRENGTHEN THE FAN ASSEMBLY WAS FOUND TO BE SEVERELY CRACKED. THIS SIDE OF THE FAN ASSEMBLY MOUNTS TO THE FAN SHAFT BEARING ASSEMBLY. SUSPECT THAT TAPERED SHAFT RETAINING NUT WAS OVERTORQUED CAUSING UNDUE STRESS ON THE TAPERED SHAFT CAUSING THE FAILURE. THIS AREA IS HARD TO INSPECT WITHOUT FAN REMOVAL, THEREFORE IT WENT UNDETECTED WHICH EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE REINFORCEMENT PLATE CRACKING SUGGEST USING APPROPRIATE TORQUE ON RETENTION NUT.
