Motor Type: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
50/60 Hz AC | Motors that operate at 50 to 60 Hz AC include single, multiphase, universal, servo, induction, and gear motors. | ||
400 Hz AC | Fans and other components that operate at 400 Hz AC are primarily used in aerospace applications. | ||
DC | DC motors are commonly used in variable speed and torque applications. | ||
Brushless DC | Brushless DC motors use internal non-contact sensing devices to activate external commutating electronics. Brushless DC motors have armature windings on the stator and the field on the rotor. | ||

Blower / Fan Configuration
Back to Top
![]() |
![]() | ||
Blower / Fan Type: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Axial Fan | Axial fans move air parallel to the axis of the fan and provide relatively high flow rates and low pressures. | ||
Tube Axial Fan | Tube axial fans feature a cylindrical housing with a propeller type fan. | ||
Vane Axial Fan | Vane axial fans feature a cylindrical housing with an outside diameter of blade tips that fit closely within the housing. This design is highly efficient and provides a high-pressure capacity. | ||
Centrifugal Blower (Radial) | Centrifugal or radial blowers move air perpendicular to the blower axis and provide relatively low flow rates and high pressures. Air enters around the center of the fan and exits around the outside. | ||
Crossflow Blower (Tangential) | Crossflow or tangential blowers move air tangential to the axis of the fan and provide relatively high flow rates and low pressures. They are designed for places that cannot fit a standard, high-airflow fan. | ||
Multistage Blower | Multistage blowers produce very high static pressures at a low flow rate. They are also used to produce a vacuum. | ||
Other | Any unlisted or proprietary configuration. | ||

Bearings: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Ball / Roller | Ball bearings are used to provide smooth, low friction motion in rotary applications. There are three basic types of ball bearings: radial, angular contact, and thrust. | ||
Sleeve / Bushing | Sleeve bearings or bushings are used to constrain, guide, or reduce friction. These bearings are also called journal or plain bearings. | ||
