RS PRO Axial Fan, 230 V ac, AC Operation, 120.6m³/h, 11W, 120 x 120 x 38mm

Brought to you by RS PRO, this high-performance ball bearing axial fan offers a cost-effective cooling solution without sacrificing on quality or reliability. With a robust plastic frame and impeller, the fan is perfect for lightweight applications where ventilation and cooling are required. The fan features a fully integrated electronic commutation, and provides a durable and smooth airflow to the device it is cooling.

• PBT Thermoplastic casing
• Square orientation
• Can be mounted in a horizontal and vertical position
• Low noise levels
• Smooth and efficient air flow

Due to the low decibel levels these Axial Fans produce, they are non-intrusive in quitter environments. As an example, a whisper would register as 30 dB, the highest decibel level of this entire RS Pro range would register at 51 dB, the lowest being 18. Meaning these can be classed as whisper quiet.

Axial fans are used across all industries where the cooling of components or machinery is important. Fans work by drawing air across the axial of a surface to cool it or to push hot air away to cool it. This is essential in everyday items such as a desktop PC, where the axial fan would cool down the processor to ensure the computer would continue to operate smoothly.

• Server racks- Axial fans are used to keep hubs, routers and patch panels cool
• Electrical cabinets and enclosures – Installed into cabinets and enclosures to cool and protect components preventing premature failure
• Production lines or areas where motors are in use constantly, prolonging gearbox and motor life

Ball bearings are generally the more popular choice with axial fans, due to their reputation for longevity and their ability to operate in higher temperatures while offering high-power. Another plus is they are not limited by mounting preferences. They are able to be mounted in any axis position, which is excellent for certain designs. Ball-bearing systems are often used where low maintenance and energy-efficient solutions are a preference, and are found in many types of hardware. Their disadvantage against sleeve bearings is that they often operate at higher noise levels.
