  • Rotational speed>7,000 RPM
  • High airflow of 210/250 CFM for effective cooling

  • Ball bearing design for reliable long-term operation

High-speed 172 mm AC case fan

This 172 mm square case fan runs on 230 V AC mains power and spins at 2700 RPM at 50 Hz or 3100 RPM at 60 Hz. Ball-bearing construction supports continuous operation in industrial or server enclosures. The wire-type connection simplifies wiring in rack cabinets or custom panels. It is suited for installers who need direct mains drive without an external power supply.

IP54-rated wire connection and ball bearing

The IP54 protection rating guards the motor against dust ingress and water splashes, making the unit viable for humid or dusty equipment bays. Class B insulation meets standard industrial safety requirements. The wire leads eliminate the need for a separate connector housing, reducing assembly steps in high-volume builds. Buyers who require a PWM-controlled or low-voltage DC fan will need a different product.

210 to 250 CFM airflow at 26 to 27 watts

At 50 Hz the fan moves 210 CFM while drawing 26 W; at 60 Hz it delivers 250 CFM at 27 W. Acoustic output reaches 53 dBA at the lower speed and 59 dBA at the higher speed. The 51 mm frame depth fits standard 172 mm mounting patterns. Systems that demand airflow beyond 250 CFM or quieter operation below 50 dBA will exceed this model's capacity.
