| Motor frame | The casing is made of plastic and measures 120 × 120 × 38 mm with a weight of 0.42 kg. Mounting is done via the flanges in both mounting corners with ISO 4762 M4 screws (degreased, without additional support or washer). The maximum tightening torque for the mounting screws is 280 Ncm in all corners. |
| Casing | plastic |
| Impeller | The fan impeller is made of plastic and is designed for radial discharge with axial intake, classifying the unit as a centrifugal blower. At a nominal speed of 2500 rpm, a maximum free air flow of 40 m³/h and a maximum static pressure of 120 Pa are achieved. The direction of rotation, when viewed from the rotor, is clockwise. |
| Bearing type | ball bearing |
| Motor protection | automatic restart on locked rotor |
| Rotation direction | clockwise |
| Motor type | The motor is a DC motor with electronic control and protection class III. It has built-in reverse polarity protection via a rectifier diode and automatic restart in case of a locked rotor. The voltage range is 12–28 V DC with a nominal voltage of 24 V DC. At nominal voltage and free airflow, the motor consumes 5.6 W and 234 mA. |
