The **ME56ZAX-R** is a specific model of an **Axial Fan**, typically manufactured by brands like **Mechatronics**. These fans are designed for high-performance thermal management in industrial and computing environments. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic and mechanical specifications. --- ### 1. General Specifications | Feature | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | AC Axial Fan | | **Input Voltage** | 230V AC (Standard) | | **Frequency** | 50/60 Hz | | **Bearing Type** | Dual Ball Bearing (for long life and high reliability) | | **Housing Material** | Aluminum Die-Cast (Heat resistant) | | **Impeller Material** | PBT Thermoplastic (UL94V-0 Rated) | --- ### 2. Electrical & Performance Data The "ZAX" designation often refers to the high-speed/high-airflow variant within this frame size. * **Current Consumption:** Typically ranges between **0.11A to 0.15A** depending on the frequency (50 vs 60Hz). * **Power Input:** Approximately **18W - 22W**. * **Airflow Rate:** Generally provides **100 – 115 CFM** (Cubic Feet per Minute). * **Rotational Speed:** Approx **2700 – 3100 RPM**. * **Noise Level:** Rated around **45 – 50 dB(A)**. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Components The internal electronics of the ME56ZAX-R are designed for durability and protection: #### A. Motor Construction It utilizes a **Shaded Pole Motor** or a **Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC)** motor. These are brushless AC motors, which reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and eliminate the wear associated with carbon brushes. #### B. Thermal Protection The "-R" suffix usually denotes **Impedance Protection** or **Thermal Protection**. * **Impedance Protected:** The motor is designed so that if the fan blade is stalled, the internal resistance (impedance) of the windings prevents the temperature from rising to a level that would cause a fire or melt the insulation. #### C. Termination * **Lead Wires:** Most models feature two UL-certified lead wires (usually Black/Black or Black/Red) for direct soldering or connector attachment. * **Grounding:** The aluminum frame usually includes a grounding point to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). --- ### 4. Application Use-Cases 1. **Server Racks:** High-density cooling for networking equipment. 2. **Industrial Control Panels:** Heat dissipation for PLCs and Power Supplies. 3. **Medical Equipment:** Consistent airflow for sensitive electronics. 4. **Power Inverters:** Cooling large-scale DC-to-AC conversion systems. --- ### 5. Identification Code Breakdown | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **ME** | Mechatronics Brand Identifier | | **56** | Refers to frame size (usually 120mm x 120mm x 38mm) | | **ZAX** | High-performance motor/blade configuration | | **-R** | Safety/Protection rating (Impedance Protected) |
