Overview
The Hoffman A-6AXFN is a 6-inch compact axial fan engineered for quiet, reliable cooling in industrial control enclosures where space is limited. Rated at 115VAC, 60Hz, this unit delivers 240CFM airflow and draws 0.36A at 60Hz (0.45A at 50Hz). The fan features ball-bearing construction, split-capacitor motor design with thermal protection, and is approved by UL and CSA standards.
Key Features
- 240CFM airflow at 3200RPM—adequate cooling for mid-sized industrial enclosures
- Ball-bearing construction—rated for 50,000 hours continuous operation without lubrication or service
- Split-capacitor motor with thermal overload protection prevents premature failure
- Quiet operation at 56dBA—reduces noise in control rooms and manufacturing areas
- Dynamically balanced impeller molded from polycarbonate ensures smooth, vibration-free performance
- Wire leads (stripped 1/2″) for direct terminal connection; includes finger guard
