A6AXFN

Overview

The A6AXFN is a compact axial fan manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed for thermal management within electrical enclosures. It operates on 115 VAC at 50/60 Hz and delivers an airflow of 240 CFM with a noise level of 56 dBA. The unit features a round design with dimensions of approximately 149 mm in height and width, and 57 mm in depth (or 170x38 mm as per some specifications). Constructed from mild steel with a RAL 9005 jet black finish, it utilizes ball bearings and consumes 36 W of power.

Feature Summary

• Compact form factor suitable for installations where enclosure space is limited
• Quiet operation with low noise emission levels
• Reliable cooling performance using ball bearing technology
• Durable mild steel housing with protective jet black finish

Applications

• Cooling equipment within dry location electrical enclosures
• Thermal management in control panels with restricted space
• General industrial enclosure ventilation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage requirement (115 VAC) and frequency compatibility before procurement. Confirm dimensional constraints against the installation site, noting variations between 149mm and 170mm descriptions. Ensure the application environment is dry, as standard oblong axial fans are intended for such conditions. Check for lead wire configuration if direct connection is required without a plug.

Selection Notes

Select this model when space constraints prevent the use of larger fans but adequate airflow is still necessary. Compare the 240 CFM output against the heat load requirements of the enclosure. Consider the 56 dBA noise level for environments sensitive to acoustic emissions. Verify that the 36 W power consumption aligns with available power supplies.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Compact Cooling Fans series, which includes models like A3AXFN and A4AXFNPG. These fans are engineered to provide efficient thermal regulation in industrial settings. The A6AXFN specifically addresses the need for higher airflow in compact footprints compared to smaller diameter variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Hoffman compact axial fans such as the A4AXFN or A3AXFN, though airflow and dimensions will differ. Cross-brand replacements must match the 115 VAC input, 240 CFM airflow, and physical mounting dimensions. Verify bearing type and noise specifications for equivalent performance.
