Description
The ebm-papst 4600Z is a premium 119 x 119 x 38 mm (4.69 x 4.69 x 1.50 in) square AC tubeaxial cooling fan engineered for dependable thermal management in commercial and industrial equipment. Powered by a single-phase shaded-pole AC motor operating at 115 VAC across 50/60 Hz, it delivers airflow rates up to 105.9 CFM (180.0 m³/h) and static back pressures up to 0.321 in H₂O (80 Pa) with an operational power draw of only 18 to 19 W. Built with a rugged die-cast metal housing, metal impeller, and maintenance-free Sintec sleeve bearings, this fan ensures balanced, low-vibration operation in any shaft mounting position. Thermal safety is maintained through integrated impedance protection, complemented by convenient 2-pin flat plug electrical terminals for quick cabinet wiring.
Key Features
- All-Metal Rugged Construction: Heavy-duty die-cast metal frame and sheet metal impeller withstand severe thermal stress and continuous industrial operation.
- Optimized Shaded-Pole Motor: High-efficiency single-phase AC motor provides dual 50/60 Hz compatibility with rated power consumption of 18W to 19W.
- Reliable Sintec Sleeve Bearings: Precision sintered sleeve bearing architecture delivers quiet acoustic performance down to 37 dB(A) and 40,000-hour service life.
- Integrated Impedance Protection: Built-in impedance-protected winding safeguards the fan against motor burnout during locked-rotor or abnormal stall conditions.
- Universal Multi-Position Mounting: Balanced to grade 2.5 allowing flexible installation in any spatial orientation via standard M4 degreased hardware.

Applications
The ebm-papst 4600Z axial fan provides essential forced-air convective cooling across electrical enclosures, industrial power supplies, and automation control cabinets. It is routinely deployed as an OEM or MRO replacement blower within programmable logic controller racks, variable speed motor drives, and telecommunications distribution bays. Its durable all-metal housing also makes it ideal for lab test benches, medical instrumentation consoles, and commercial audio-visual broadcast racks requiring continuous thermal extraction.
