Description
The ebm-papst W2E143-AB15-01 (also known as W2E143AB1501) is an industrial AC compact axial fan driven by an integrated M2E052-BF single-phase external rotor motor, housed in a durable 172 x 51 mm (6.77 x 2.01 in) round die-cast aluminum wall ring frame. Engineered for high-throughput ventilation, it delivers up to 295 CFM (500 m³/h) of free-air flow and withstands static back pressures up to 0.34 in H₂O (85 Pa) across dual 50/60 Hz frequencies. The aerodynamic assembly utilizes five black-finished sheet steel blades rotating counterclockwise toward the rotor, riding on maintenance-free precision ball bearings for continuous S1 duty. Integrated thermal overload protection (TOP) safeguards the internal motor windings, while electrical connection is established via two 2.8 x 0.5 mm flat male terminal lugs.
Key Features
- Die-Cast Aluminum Frame: Rugged black-painted aluminum wall ring housing guarantees long-term mechanical stability under high thermal operating conditions.
- Sheet Steel Impeller: Five aerodynamically balanced black-coated sheet steel blades deliver robust air delivery up to 295 CFM.
- Thermal Overload Protection: Factory-integrated auto-reset thermal protector guards internal motor windings against overheating and locked-rotor damage.
- Continuous Ball Bearings: Heavy-duty sealed dual ball bearing system permits unrestricted all-position mounting for continuous S1 industrial service.
- Quick Terminal Termination: Integrated dual 2.8 x 0.5 mm flat blade quick-connect spade lugs streamline panel wiring installation.
