ebm-papst Sleeve Bearing Axial Fans Brought to you by ebm-papst, these sleeve bearing DC axial fans are a perfect addition to your application. A durable and high performing axial fan is an integral part specifically to cooling applications. All models are highly reliable and excellent quality. Features and Benefits • Electronic protection against reverse polarity
• Impedance protected against blocking and overloading
• Fibreglass-reinforced plastic
• Integrated electronic commutation What is an Axial Fan? An axial fan is a type of fan commonly used within everyday applications, such as air conditioners and computers. It causes both air and gas (depending on the application) to flow directly through it in an axial direction. Allowing the air/gas flow to be axial and both entry and exit. The most common versions tend to have fewer blades than a conventional ducted fan which have similar operations. What is reverse polarity? Reverse polarity can create a potential shock hazard and has minimal capabilities of damaging electronics. These ebm-papst axial fans deploy excellent electronic protection against this outcome. Do these fans have finger guards available? We do have finger guards available for extra safety. Please have a look at RS Stock Number - 250-892 Differences between sleeve bearings and ball bearings Sleeve bearing axial fans are generally quieter at low speeds than conventional ball bearing fans. Sleeve bearings are more commonly used in applications which generate a lower heat. They are also designed to be a more cost effective way of cooling.
