Product Type: AC Axial

AxiACi Series

Perfect in refrigeration technology, industrial ventilation, and telecom applications

The AxiACi series was developed for use in commercial refrigerated cabinets and also demonstrates its high flexibility and efficiency in applications from the fields of control cabinet cooling, industry, and telecommunications, where they are the perfect replacement for obsolete AC solutions.

Whatever the application, the energy-saving AxiACi series is designed to withstand the rigors of extreme environments such as temperatures ranging from +75°C to -40°C, salt spray, water jets, and dust. It is also ideally suited for use with natural refrigerants such as ammonia, propane, ethanol cyclohexane, n-butane, and others.

But that isn’t all. Its numerous certifications and wide voltage range from 90 to 264 VAC ensure top performance and maximum flexibility at all times. All over the world. And maybe even beyond…

AC Fans

60mm-280mm

Alternating Current (AC) Fans are perfect for applications where you need a more robust and durable fan and where your application has available AC power.

Available in 115VAC, 230VAC, or Dual Voltage with custom voltages available upon request.

All standard models feature an IP44 rating. Additional IP ratings, Salt Fog rating, and Dual-Speed functionality are available.

IP-Rated AC Axial Fans

Mechatronics IP55 AC axial fans provide cooling options for harsh operating environments. The motor encapsulation process protects the motor from moisture, dust, and dirt exposure. Mechatronics encapsulated AC axial models are also available with additional salt fog protection.

Encapsulation is the process of injection molding an epoxy compound that completely fills all cavities around the entire PCB and motor assembly before installation of the bearings, shaft assembly, and impeller. Additional protective adhesive is applied to the wire exit point on the encapsulated motor to prevent possible ingress. Encapsulation is designed to completely prevent water or dust contact with the fan PCB and motor assembly. Encapsulation does not prevent water and dust ingress to the shaft and bearing assembly in cases of extreme or prolonged exposure.
