TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS
[] [Mechatronics' DC Backward Curved Motorized Impellers](
[Mechatronics' DC Backward Curved Motorized Impellers](
Digi-Key Electronics
[Mechatronics]( backward curved [DC motorized impellers]( offer exceptional airflow, pressure performance, and provide greater power efficiency and speed control. Radial airflow patterns of [motorized impellers]( offer design flexibility directing airflow where needed. Impellers are ideal for applications requiring significant airflow and static pressure, such as air-filtration, ventilation, and enclosure cooling. Mechatronics' backward curved impellers and ball bearing motor provide reliable, cost-effective cooling. Standard DC impeller models are available at Digi-Key in 120 mm to 315 mm diameter.
