ebm-papst 4300 Series Axial Fan, 24 V dc, DC Operation, 170m³/h, 5W, 208mA Max, 119 x 119 x 32mm

An axial fan is a device that creates airflow by using a motor to rotate blades housed within in a square or round frame. The rotating fan blades draw air into the fan and expel the flow in the same direction across a surface to cool it. Axial fans are a vital component ensuring the smooth operation of machinery and electronic equipment. Keeping equipment cool is Crucial as overheating can lead to serious complications including premature deterioration of parts, shorter life spans and sometimes, complete failure.

From ebm-papst, the 4314 series of high performance ball bearing fans with a tachometer output. Offering a cost effective cooling solution without sacrificing on quality or reliability. The compact DC axial fans are expertly designed supporting excellent efficiency long service life and smooth operation. With a robustly constructed PBT housing and PA impeller, the 4314 series fans are an ideal for multitude of cooling applications.

Three wire fans or Tacho fans have an integrated electronic tachometer. The red and black wires are for the power supply to the fan. The third coloured wire (often yellow or white) is connected directly to the output of the hall sensor. A pulsed output is generated which is used to monitor the speed of the fan. This feature is useful in applications such as PC’s, laptops and data equipment.
