2011/65/EU and EU 2015/863 as follows.

These Directives restrict the following ten hazardous substances: cadmium, lead,
mercury, hexavalent chromium,
PBB, PBDE, DEHP, BBP, DBP, and DIBP.
Please see details https://products.sanyodenki.com/info/rohs/en/index.html
What is the difference between the rib or absence of the pan.

"The rib" is a form to reinforce a hall with a frame.
For resin frame pans, there are two types: ribless and ribbed.
The ribbed frame is used for fastening with through screws. Frames without ribs are
used to secure only the attachment surface.


※ Aluminum frame products do not have ribs because there is sufficient frame strength


<Precautions>
・Resin frame products without ribs may break the flange if fixed with through screws.
・When you fix a fan with screws, please pay attention to the screw tightening torque. If the fastening torque is greater than the recommendation device, there is a risk of deformation and damage of the fan.
For more information, please refer to the https://products.sanyodenki.com/info/sanace/en/technical_material/caution.html section of the technical base.

What are the PWM controller function of the fan

We change duty ratio (pulse width) of pulse signal to input between PWM control line and minus line of fan and are function to control rotation speed of fan from the outside.
By controlling rotation speed depending on the situation, I can suppress power consumption and noise.
For more information, please refer to the https://products.sanyodenki.com/info/sanace/en/technical_material/pwm.html In addition, we have a lineup of controllers that can control fans with PWM control.

Are there any restrictions on the direction of the fan's installation?
There are no restrictions regarding the installation direction.
All of our fan bearings are made of ball bearings.
Unlike fans that use general sleeve bearings, it can be used in any installation
direction, such as horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
How far should the fan be from the wall?

It can be calculated by the following calculation formula.


(b-d) b=wing outer diameter, d=motorboss
diameter calculation example: L > (58 - 23) = 35 for 60 square fans<(b-d) b=wing outer diameter, d=motorboss

By this formula, a distance of about 40 mm or more is recommended.

Please tell me the relationship between the rotational speed of the fan, the air volume, and the static pressure.

The air volume is proportional to the rotational speed.
Static pressure is proportional to the square of the rotational speed.

Example: If the rotational speed is doubled, the air volume will be doubled and the static pressure will be quadrupled.
When the rotational speed is reduced by one-half, the air volume is one-half and the static pressure is one-fourth.

※ The above is a theoretical value. Errors may occur in the real world.

What is the definition of fan life
We define the life of a fan as when the revs have been reduced to 70% or less of the initial value.
Life expectancy conditions: L10 = 90% retention, ambient temperature 60°C, rated voltage, rated continuous operation, free air condition
Tell us about the relationship between fan life and ambient temperature.
The lifespan of the fan is affected by the ambient temperature.
Normally, fans reach the end of their lifespan due to depletion and deterioration of the grease (lubricant) in the bearing, but the lifespan of the grease is greatly affected by the ambient temperature.
Therefore, the higher the ambient temperature, the shorter the life expectancy of the fan. For more information, please refer to the technical data https://products.sanyodenki.com/info/sanace/en/technical_material/aboutfan.html
Are there any precautions for long-term storage of cooling fans?

・Storage conditions (temperature/humidity control, etc.)

There is no problem with performance within the storage temperature and humidity range, but if condensation occurs due to sudden temperature changes, it may affect lubrication performance or insulation, so please be careful not to condense during preservation by using desiccant.


・Please avoid the high temperature, the humid place, the preservation in the corrosive gas state. (Storage humidity range: 20%~85%RH)

・There is not the designated storage method, but assumes a perpendicular direction as a basis.

Why is there no CE mark for DC fans?
There are three main types of CE marks: machine directive, EMC directive, and low voltage directive.
Among them, the low-voltage directive related to the fan is applied to equipment used with alternating current 50~1000V and direct current 75~1500V.
Therefore, our DC fans are not eligible. For more information, please refer to the "Safety Standards".
What are the different types of fan sensors?

1. Pulse Sensor

A pulse sensor is a sensor that outputs two pulse waveforms per 1 revolution of the fan. It is ideal for detecting rotational speed.
Products: DC fans, ACDC fans


2. Rock Sensor

A lock sensor is a sensor that outputs the state of the fan. It is ideal for detecting whether the fan is spinning or stationary.


Product: DC Fan


3. Low Speed Sensor

A low speed sensor is a sensor that outputs when the rotational speed of the fan is lower than the set rotational speed.
It is ideal for detecting the cooling performance of the fan. Main products: ACDC fans, AC fans


※Applicable sensors vary depending on the model. For more information, please refer to the Comprehensive Catalogue Index.(https://publish.sanyodenki.com/library/books/San_Ace_E/book/#target/page_no=616, https://publish.sanyodenki.com/library/books/San_Ace_E/book/#target/page_no=619
Are Humiseal coated fans equivalent to IP** ?
Humiseal are intended to protect the PCB from moisture and cannot meet IP standards.
Are your fans salt spray(GR487) compatible ?
Currently none of our catalogue standard fans are compatible with GR487
