Tube Axial Fan Accessories

Enhance airflow control, safety, and installation flexibility with essential accessories for tube axial fans. Each accessory supports efficient system operation in industrial and commercial applications.

Inlet and Outlet Cones

Improve aerodynamic performance by guiding airflow smoothly into and out of the fan, reducing turbulence and increasing efficiency.

Mounting Flanges and Support Brackets

Allow secure installation to duct systems or structural frames, ensuring alignment and stability under load.

Safety Guards and Screens

Prevent accidental contact with moving parts and block debris entry to maintain safe and reliable operation.

Backdraft Dampers

Stop reverse airflow when the fan is inactive to protect downstream components and maintain air quality.

Vibration Isolators

Dampen mechanical vibration transfer to surrounding structures, lowering noise and extending equipment life.

Motor Covers and Weather Hoods

Provide protection from dust, moisture, and weather exposure, especially in outdoor or harsh environments.

Types of Tube Axial Fans

Belt Drive Tube Axial Fan

Belt drive fans support adjustable speed and high static pressure, making them suitable for systems with variable airflow needs or resistance. They allow flexible setup and can be configured to meet specific application demands.

Drawbacks

Belts wear, slip, and stretch over time, increasing maintenance and reducing reliability. Belt systems also lose energy through friction, which lowers efficiency and increases long-term operating costs.

Direct Drive Tube Axial Fan

Direct drive fans have fewer moving parts, resulting in reduced maintenance. Their direct motor-to-impeller connection improves efficiency by minimizing energy loss. They are well-suited for continuous, fixed-speed applications.

Drawbacks

Direct drive systems lack speed flexibility. Adjusting airflow often requires external controls or variable frequency drives. They also handle less pressure than belt-driven models, which limits their use in high-resistance systems.

Selection depends on system needs, balancing airflow control, pressure demands, energy efficiency, and maintenance requirements.
