The 5212NM from EBM-Papst is a robust DC axial fan in a tubeaxial design, measuring 127 × 127 × 38 mm and powered by 12 VDC. The fan is excellent for applications requiring compact size, high airflow, and long operating life – for example, in server cabinets, industrial machinery, and telecom equipment.
With an airflow of up to 187 m³/h and an expected bearing life (L10) of 105,000 hours, the 5212NM is a reliable choice for demanding continuous operation.

Technical specifications
| Product attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Airflow at 0 Pa | 187 m³/h |
| Speed | 2750 rpm |
| Power | 4.1 W |
| Voltage | 12 VDC VAC |
| Motor frame | The fan belongs to the 5200 N series with a 127 × 38 mm housing made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic (PBT). The housing is square and fits standard mounting for 127 mm axial DC fans. The NHH model has molded-in spacers with a tin-plated surface, which is not the case for the NM variant. |
| Casing | glass-fiber reinforced plastic (PBT), square |
| Impeller | The impeller is made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (polyamide, PA) and is designed for axial airflow. The airflow is directed outwards over the struts (exhaust over struts). At a nominal speed of 2,750 rpm, an airflow of up to 187 m³/h is delivered. The sound pressure level is 43 dB(A) measured at a distance of 1 m from the fan axis. |
| Bearing type | sintered plain bearings / ball bearings |
| IP class | IP54 |
| Rotation direction | counter-clockwise, viewed from the rotor side |
| Motor type | The motor is a DC motor designed for 12 V nominal voltage with an operating voltage range of 7–14.5 V. The power consumption at free airflow is 4.1 W. The motor is suitable for temperatures between -20 °C and +75 °C. The expected bearing life (L10 at 40 °C) is specified as 105,000 hours for ball bearings. |
