A New Frontier in Compact Cooling Power: The 40x28mm Brushless DC Fan
In the domain of advanced electronic hardware and portable equipment, proficient thermal control is not merely a feature—it has become a fundamental requirement for performance, reliability, and extended service life. We introduce a truly formidable cooling solution engineered for the most challenging environments: the 40x28mm Brushless DC Fan. This is no ordinary component; it is a specialized powerhouse designed to provide an exceptional blend of high static pressure and substantial air movement within a compact, industry-standard form.
Created for applications where every millimeter of space and every degree of cooling is critical, this fan series represents the zenith of compact thermal engineering, offering a resilient and adaptable solution for everything from dense server clusters to precision industrial machinery.
The Science of Superior Capability: High Static Pressure and Airflow
The defining characteristic of this 40mm DC fan is its significant 28mm depth. This increased thickness, when compared to standard 10mm or 20mm fans, accommodates a more powerful motor and an aggressive blade design, which results in the generation of extraordinarily high static pressure. This metric is a measure of a fan's ability to push air against obstruction. In numerous practical applications, airflow is not unimpeded; it is driven through dense heatsink fins, restrictive enclosures, or tightly packed components.
This fan, however, excels in these high-resistance situations. As its performance curve clearly demonstrates, this fan maintains robust airflow even as back-pressure escalates. With maximum static pressure values reaching an impressive 36.71 mmH₂O on its highest-tier models, it possesses the force necessary to ensure cooling air reaches vital components deep within an assembly.
A Spectrum of Power: Customized Performance for Every Need
Understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all cooling requirement, this fan is offered in a wide spectrum of performance tiers, centered around 12V and 24V DC systems. This flexibility permits engineers and system builders to select the perfect equilibrium of airflow, pressure, and acoustics for their specific needs.
Ultra-High Performance Models: For the most extreme thermal conditions, the top-tier versions spin at an astonishing 30,000 RPM, delivering a massive maximum airflow of 41.51 CFM.
Balanced High-Performance Versions: Providing an attractive middle ground, the 20,000 RPM and 13,000 RPM models offer considerable cooling power with more moderate acoustics. The 13,000 RPM variant, for instance, provides a commendable 20.64 CFM with a significantly lower noise level of 42 dBA.
Quiet and Dependable Models: For applications where low noise is a crucial design parameter, such as in office hardware or home media servers, the 8,000 RPM version is the ideal choice, operating at a serene 36 dBA while still providing an effective 11.06 CFM of airflow.
Engineered for Endurance: The Ball Bearing Advantage
At the core of this DC fan's dependability is its dual ball bearing mechanism. In contrast to inferior sleeve bearings, ball bearings provide a much longer operational lifespan, superior performance at elevated temperatures, and the flexibility to be mounted in any orientation without compromising durability. This resilient bearing system guarantees consistent, wobble-free performance over tens of thousands of hours, reducing maintenance needs and enhancing the overall reliability of the device it cools. The construction is equally impressive, with a frame and impeller made from premium thermal plastic carrying a UL 94V-0 flammability rating, a critical safety feature for any electronic part.
Advanced Electrical Design and Protection
Powered by a high-efficiency brushless DC motor, this fan offers inherent advantages over older motor designs, including greater reliability and more precise control. To safeguard both the fan and the host system, it is engineered with integrated motor protection. Reverse polarity protection averts damage if the power leads are accidentally connected incorrectly.
Furthermore, impedance protection ensures the motor will not burn out if the rotor becomes stalled by an obstruction. For advanced uses, this fan can be configured with a suite of control and monitoring features, including PWM speed control for dynamic, on-demand cooling, an FG (Tachometer) signal for reporting fan speed, and an RD (Rotation Detector) alarm for immediate failure notification.
In conclusion, the 40x28mm Brushless DC fan is an exemplary model of compact, high-capability thermal management. It leverages its unique depth, advanced aerodynamic design, and potent motor to achieve class-leading static pressure and airflow. With a
