nMB provides the industry’s highest ip rated fans
MinebeaMitsumi introduces the groundbreaking K Fan series, offering top-tier ingress protection for cooling systems in challenging environments. These robust fans, ranging from 40mm to 172mm, come in 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V options and boast a tach output for precise speed monitoring and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) speed control. Designed for demanding applications,
these fans are dustproof, waterproof and corrosion resistant due to their IP rated epoxy potting. IP68 versions withstand water immersion
to depths over 1m and are suitable for high humidity environments indoors or outside. IP69K adds the ability to withstand high temperature water jets, such as are found in food manufacturing and environments that require frequent cleaning and sterilisation. The applications for these advanced cooling fans are diverse, ranging from
Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations to refrigeration, telecommunication infrastructure, and factory automation. As industries evolve, the need for robust and reliable cooling solutions becomes increasingly critical. NMB’s K series fans stands as a technological leap forward,
addressing the challenges posed by demanding environments and providing cutting-edge cooling solutions across many harsh environment industries.
