The part number **W2XF-Z1V3V2-R/N** identifies a specific industrial-grade **AC axial fan** from the **W2X** series, typically manufactured by **ebm-papst**. These fans are designed for high-performance cooling in server racks, control cabinets, and industrial power supplies. --- ### Technical Specifications The alphanumeric code breaks down into specific electrical and mechanical characteristics: | Component | Specification | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | W2X | Compact AC Axial Fan series (usually 80mm or 119mm) | | **Motor Type** | Z1 | Shaded-pole motor (Standard AC induction) | | **Airflow Direction** | V3V2 | Specifies V-type (Exhaust over struts) airflow profile | | **Voltage** | R | Typically indicates 230V AC operation (50/60 Hz) | | **Bearing System** | /N | Ball bearing system for long-life horizontal/vertical mounting | --- ### Key Electronic & Mechanical Features #### 1. Motor Construction * **Asynchronous Shaded-Pole Motor:** This is a rugged, brushless AC motor. It is self-starting and has no internal electronic switching, making it highly resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI). * **Impedance Protection:** The motor is protected against locking/stalling. If the blades are obstructed, the impedance of the windings prevents the motor from overheating or catching fire. #### 2. Bearing System (/N) * The use of **dual ball bearings** allows the fan to be mounted in any orientation (horizontal, vertical, or angled). * Compared to sleeve bearings, ball bearings offer a significantly higher **L10 life expectancy** (often >60,000 hours at 40°C). #### 3. Housing and Impeller * **Material:** Usually features a die-cast aluminum housing for heat dissipation and grounded electrical safety. * **Impeller:** Made of mineral-reinforced plastic (PA 6.6) to reduce weight and startup torque. --- ### Electrical Parameters (General Range) * **Nominal Voltage:** 230 VAC * **Frequency:** 50 / 60 Hz * **Power Consumption:** 11W to 18W (depending on the specific chassis size) * **Connection:** Lead wires or 2.8mm spade terminals (depending on the specific sub-variant). --- ### Applications * **IT/Telecom:** Cooling for server enclosures and network switches. * **Industrial:** Ventilation for PLC cabinets and frequency converters. * **Medical:** Thermal management for diagnostic equipment.
