5000M hub assemblies
Hudson lists 5000M hubs by fan diameter, blade count and bushing. Tell us those three and we'll match the hub, seal disc and clamp parts to your fan. Get in touch.
The 9 to 12 blade hubs are shared with the 5000K.
How to read a 5000M nameplate
Hudson fans carry an adjustable pitch code on the nameplate. APT 28M 8 breaks down like this:
- APT: adjustable pitch fan.
- The number: fan diameter in feet.
- M: the blade, here Tuf-Lite IV. H is Tuf-Lite II, K is Tuf-Lite III, KW is Tuf-Lite III wide chord and M is Tuf-Lite IV.
- The next number: blade count.
- The bore: shaft size, where it's given. Large fans are often ordered without it.
Match the bore to a bushing: Q-2 fits 1" to 2.62", R-2 fits 2.68" to 3.62", S-2 fits 3.68" to 4.19" and U-1 fits 4.25" to 5.50". Read those off the nameplate and get in touch. We'll match the parts.
Specifications from Hudson's published 5000M installation manual, put in our own words. Common parts for every series, including clamp bolts, hub spools and seal discs, are on the Hudson parts page.
Before you order.
Do the 5000M and 5000K share hub parts?
For 9 to 12 blades, yes: Hudson lists the same hub assemblies and hub parts for both. The 6 to 8 blade 5000M hubs are their own.
What torque do the 5000M blade clamp bolts take?
It depends on the bolt. 316 stainless bolts take 130 ft-lb lubricated. Grade 8 galvanized bolts take 250 ft-lb lubricated or 280 ft-lb dry.
Which seal disc fits a 5000M fan?
A 64" disc on fans with 6 to 8 blades, and a 76" kit on 9 to 12 blades. Tell us the blade count and we'll match the part.
