- Quiet 39 dBA at low speed for noise-sensitive environments
Industrial-grade axial fan for high-voltage cabinets
This 120 mm square metal-frame fan runs directly on 230 V mains at 50 or 60 Hz. It targets integrators who need reliable airflow inside UPS units, railway equipment, medical devices or other industrial enclosures where low-voltage DC power is unavailable.
Ball-bearing thermals
At 50 Hz the unit draws 19 W, spins at 2650 RPM, moves 1.61 m³/min of air and produces 39 dBA; at 60 Hz it draws 22 W, reaches 3000 RPM, delivers 1.86 m³/min and emits 42 dBA. Static pressure is rated at 2.64 mmH₂O and 2.43 mmH₂O respectively across the two frequencies.
230 V AC operation excludes standard PC builds
Because the motor requires mains voltage, the fan cannot connect to a motherboard header or a typical 12 V DC controller. Buyers who need PWM speed control, 12 V DC power or a standard four-pin connector should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the 120*120*25MM frame and where do I connect the 230V supply?
Fix the metal frame with four screws through the standard 120 mm holes, then wire the leads directly to a 230 V 50/60 Hz mains circuit — no low-voltage header is present.
Which part wears out first and when should I plan a swap?
The ball bearing is rated for 50,000 hours; after that the fan should be replaced to keep airflow at 1.61/1.86 m³/min.
At what temperature does the fan hit its thermal limit during continuous operation?
The specified use environment tops out at 75 °C; sustained running above that temperature exceeds the design envelope.
