    Why are my Fann Measuring Instruments out of calibration?
    • C
      Chase HunterAug 10, 2025
      If your Fann Measuring Instruments are out of calibration, it could be due to several reasons. Contaminated bob shaft bearings can cause this, and the solution is to replace the bob shaft bearings (P/N 207450). A bent bob shaft can also be the culprit; try to slightly bend the shaft to straighten it, or contact Fann for repair or replacement. Other possible causes include a bent rotor (replace the rotor), a damaged or incorrectly installed torsion spring (refer to Section 5.4 to replace the torsion spring), or an incorrect motor speed (replace the motor with P/N 207446 or 207447).

    What to do if my Fann Measuring Instruments have erratic dial motion?
    • H
      Hayley SmithAug 17, 2025
      Erratic dial motion in Fann Measuring Instruments can stem from a few issues. One potential cause is contaminated bob shaft bearings, which can be resolved by replacing the bob shaft bearings (P/N 207450). Another cause might be a bent bob shaft; in this case, try bending the shaft slightly to straighten it, or contact Fann for repair or replacement. Finally, a rotor out of alignment or damage to the rotor can also lead to erratic dial motion, so replace the rotor if necessary (refer to Table 9-1 for a list of rotors).

      Excessive noise in Fann Measuring Instruments may be due to lubrication failure or contamination in the gears, in which case you should contact Fann for repair. It could also be caused by a worn center thrust washer, which also requires you to contact Fann for repair. Another possible cause is that the top cover is not set properly; try adjusting the top cover.
