Key Features and Benefits
Reliability and Durability
The FD124028EB-P features ball bearing construction that provides superior longevity compared to sleeve bearings, making it suitable for 24/7 industrial operation. The robust design withstands vibration and harsh environmental conditions common in manufacturing facilities.
Energy Efficiency
With a power consumption of only 9.36W, this fan offers excellent cooling performance while minimizing energy costs. The variable speed capability allows for intelligent thermal management based on actual cooling requirements.
Compact Design
The 40mm square form factor makes this fan ideal for space-constrained applications where traditional larger fans cannot be accommodated. The 28mm thickness provides optimal airflow while maintaining a low profile.
Easy Installation
Standard mounting holes and flexible wiring options (2-wire or 3-wire configurations) simplify integration into existing systems. The fan is designed for quick replacement and maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Installation Guidelines
For optimal performance and longevity, follow these installation recommendations:
- Mounting Orientation: Install the fan to create positive airflow through the enclosure, typically with intake at the bottom and exhaust at the top.
- Clearance Requirements: Maintain at least 10mm clearance around the fan for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Wiring Considerations: Use appropriate gauge wire for the 0.78A current draw and ensure proper polarity for DC operation.
- Vibration Isolation: Use rubber grommets or vibration dampeners when mounting to reduce noise and prevent resonance.
- Filter Installation: Consider adding dust filters for applications in dusty environments to extend fan life.
