Overview
The Dayton 1RWB5A is a light-duty industrial pedestal fan designed for general-purpose air circulation in commercial workshops, warehouses, and small industrial spaces. This stationary, non-oscillating model features a 30-inch blade diameter and 120V single-phase AC operation with two selectable speed settings. Built on a direct-drive architecture with permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor technology, the 1RWB5A delivers consistent airflow performance with minimal vibration and noise.
Key Features
- Dual-Speed Operation: High and low speed settings deliver 7,250 CFM and 4,650 CFM respectively for flexible air control
- Permanent Split Capacitor Motor: Robust PSC motor design ensures reliable, efficient long-term operation
- Direct-Drive System: Eliminates belt maintenance and reduces mechanical failure points
- Low Operating Noise: 77 dBA sound level rated at maximum speed for comfortable work environments
- Pedestal Mounting: Freestanding design allows simple placement without structural modification
Technical Specifications
The Dayton 1RWB5A combines compact dimensions with robust performance metrics. High-speed operation reaches 7,250 CFM with air velocity of 715 feet per minute at 20-foot distance; low-speed output is 4,650 CFM at 480 fpm. Motor power consumption is 320 watts at high speed and 225 watts at low speed, drawing 2.9 amps and 1.9 amps respectively under full load.
Typical Applications
- Commercial workshop and garage ventilation
