Are you a fan of DC fans?
Fans are all around us and form an integral part of our mechanised, electronics-centred lifestyles. From consumer appliances to large industrial machinery, devices we use every day rely on fans to expel hot air and keep them cool enough to operate reliably.
At the very heart of the fan – both literally and figuratively – is the bearing that enables the rotor to turn. A typical fan will need to make a significant number of rotations during its lifetime, so a lot gets asked of the bearing. It is therefore crucial that it is up to the task.
There are many types of fans, including:
- Sleeve bearings
- Ball bearings
In this whitepaper from CUI Devices, discover the pros and cons of these fans.
