Description
ebm-papst 4112N/2H3 (also known as 4112N2H3) is a high-performance 12VDC compact brushless tubeaxial fan measuring 119 × 119 × 38 mm (4.69 × 4.69 × 1.50 in). Driven by an electronically commutated motor, it delivers an airflow rate of 182.4 CFM (310.0 m³/h) and an impressive maximum static back pressure of 1.405 in H₂O (350 Pa) at a nominal speed of 6,000 RPM. Built with a rugged die-cast metal housing, reinforced plastic impeller, and maintenance-free dual ball bearings, this model delivers reliable thermal relief across challenging continuous-duty industrial environments. Electrical termination is provided via 310 mm AWG 22 lead wires incorporating an open-collector tachometer speed signal, locked-rotor auto-restart, and reverse polarity protection.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Metal Construction: Die-cast metal housing paired with a fiberglass-reinforced plastic impeller provides superior structural rigidity and heat dissipation.
- High-Static Aerodynamics: Generates up to 350 Pa (1.405 in H₂O) static pressure, overcoming dense component impedance effectively.
- Precision Speed Monitoring: Integrated open-collector tachometer circuit outputs two pulses per revolution for real-time rotational monitoring.
- Comprehensive Circuit Protection: Features automated locked-rotor restart cycles, reverse polarity rectifying diode, and internal fast-acting Littelfuse protection.
- Extended Service Life: Precision ball bearings deliver a continuous operating L10 life expectancy of 65,000 hours at 40°C.
