Description
The ebm-papst 4606Z is a premium 119 x 119 x 38 mm (4.69 x 4.69 x 1.50 in) AC compact tubeaxial fan engineered for high-reliability thermal management across demanding industrial enclosures. Operating on a 115 VAC 60 Hz single-phase line, the unit delivers 106.0 CFM (180.0 m³/h) of volumetric airflow at 3,100 RPM while consuming just 18.0 W. Built for extreme operational longevity, it features a rugged die-cast aluminum housing paired with a black-coated sheet steel impeller and precision dual ball bearings. Electrical hookup is facilitated via two 2.8 x 0.5 mm quick-connect flat terminals with an integrated M4 ground lug and robust impedance overload protection.
