Description
ebm-papst 4188NXM is an industrial 119 x 119 x 38 mm (4.69 x 4.69 x 1.50 in) compact DC axial fan engineered for reliable, continuous forced-air cooling in electronic enclosures. Operating on a nominal 48 VDC supply across a broad 36 to 60 VDC range, it delivers 94.2 CFM (160 m³/h) of airflow at a rated speed of 2800 RPM while consuming only 3.5 W. The rugged construction features a die-cast aluminum housing paired with a fiberglass-reinforced PA plastic impeller supported by precision dual ball bearings. Designed for long-term service in harsh conditions, it incorporates comprehensive electronic protection against reverse polarity and locked-rotor conditions, with connection facilitated via standard 2.8 x 0.5 mm flat spade terminals.
Key Features
- Rugged Metal Housing: Built with a die-cast aluminum frame that ensures structural rigidity and high thermal resistance.
- Dual Ball Bearings: Engineered with precision ball bearings providing an extensive service life of 85,000 hours at 40°C.
- Wide Voltage Range: Operates efficiently across 36 to 60 VDC to accommodate telecommunications and industrial power fluctuations.
- Integrated Protection: Features comprehensive onboard circuitry guarding against reverse polarity connections and continuous locked-rotor conditions.
- Direct Terminal Interface: Equipped with dual 2.8 x 0.5 mm male spade terminals for quick, secure electrical installation.
