Description
ebm-papst M2E068-EC07-18 (also known as M2E068EC0718), powered by the M2E068-EC motor, is a high-performance single-phase external rotor AC fan motor engineered for direct mechanical integration into commercial and industrial air-moving assemblies. Operating on a 208 VAC, 60 Hz electrical supply, this 68 mm motor delivers an operational speed of 2800 RPM with an electrical power consumption of 220 W, generating 110 W of mechanical output power at 1.10 A rated current. The unit features an open external rotor finished with a protective black coating, a maintenance-free dual ball bearing suspension system, and an unrestricted S1 continuous duty rating in any mounting orientation. Electrical connectivity is established via an integrated silicone 4G 0.5 mm² multi-conductor cable terminated with crimped splices, while winding integrity is safeguarded by an internal thermal overload protector (TOP) and Class F insulation.
Key Features
- 60 Hz Electrical & Mechanical Power Ratings: Configured for 208 VAC 60 Hz single-phase operation, delivering a nominal speed of 2800 RPM, 220 W input power consumption, 110 W mechanical power output, 1.10 A nominal current, 37 Ncm rated torque, and 21 Ncm starting torque.
- External Rotor Design & Compact Footprint: Engineered with a compact 68 mm motor size, open rotor geometry finished in black paint, clockwise rotation viewed toward rotor, and a 5 mm maximum screw mounting clearance.
- Motor Architecture & Thermal Protection: Driven by the integrated M2E068-EC architecture requiring an external 6.0 µF / 400 VDB (S2) run capacitor, backed by an internally connected thermal overload protector (TOP) and Class F insulation.
- Heavy-Duty Bearing System & Orientation: Equipped with precision ball bearings supporting smooth continuous S1 duty across any installation position, rated for transport and storage temperatures from -40°C to +80°C (-40°F to +176°F).
- OEM Electrical Termination & Safety Compliance: Pre-wired with a flexible silicone 4G 0.5 mm² cable featuring 4 crimped splices (U1 Blue, Z Brown, U2 Black, PE Green/Yellow), Class I protection, < 0.75 mA touch current, and EN 60335-1 / CE / UL compliance.
