About Electric Motors
When replacing a motor, use the information on your motor’s nameplate to guide your selection.

About Sound Levels
Measured in decibels (dB), volume ratings indicate how much noise equipment makes. Some common volume levels include a whisper @ 20 dB, a refrigerator @ 40 dB, a conversation @ 60 dB, and a light machine shop @ 90 dB. OSHA recommends hearing protection for exposure to 80 dB and greater.
About Exhaust Fans

Corrosion-Resistant Belt-Drive Ceiling-Mount Fans
For rust resistance and durability, these fans have a polyethylene housing. They’re belt-drive fans, so they’re quieter and will last longer than direct-drive fans because their parts can be replaced if worn or damaged.
Fans with an open-dripproof motor enclosure are for indoor locations that are relatively clean and dry.

Hanging Box Fans
Easily hang these fans from your ceiling using the attached bracket and a mounting chain kit (sold separately). They're more powerful than our standard box fans. Made with a heavy duty 12-gauge welded wire mesh guard, these fans will stand up to tough environments. Plastic guard clips help reduce vibration between the housing and the guard, making these fans quieter. They require little maintenance thanks to their totally enclosed, high-efficiency motor and sealed ball bearings.
Direct-drive fans have fewer moving parts than belt-drive fans for less maintenance.

Direct-Drive Fan Motors
Since they have fewer moving parts, you can use these direct-drive motors to build fans that require less maintenance than fans with belt-drive motors. Mount them directly to a fan column.

Dust-Resistant Direct-Drive Wall-Mount Exhaust Fans
Better suited for dirty, dusty, and damp environments than standard direct-drive fans, these have a totally enclosed motor enclosure. Direct-drive fans have fewer moving parts than belt-drive fans for less maintenance. Use these fans to draw stagnant and humid air out of a room or area.
Collars and louvers are sold separately. Use a collar to connect a wall-mount exhaust fan to a louver.

Light Duty Direct-Drive Wall-Mount Exhaust Fans with Louvers
These light duty fans are designed for use without duct. They come complete with a movable-blade louver. The louvers are gravity operated so they open only when air flows through them, which prevents backdrafts. Direct-drive fans have fewer moving parts than belt-drive fans for less maintenance. Use these fans to draw stagnant and humid air out of a room or area. All have a totally enclosed motor enclosure, which can be used in dirty, dusty, and damp environments.

High-Output Blowers
Powerful and durable, these blowers are able to blow air through larger systems that have more airflow resistance than standard blowers can handle. They install in ductwork similar to duct fans, but are for use where high static pressures are present. Use them for equipment cooling, drying, ventilating, and exhausting. Blowers that weigh 280 lbs. or less can also be used for material conveying. Blowers with a totally enclosed motor enclosure can be used in dirty, dusty, and damp environments.
Note: Airflow depends on the resistance created by ductwork. This resistance, known as static pressure (SP), is measured in inches of water. It is the responsibility of users in California to follow local energy efficiency regulations. Operating these blowers at a high airflow may violate these regulations.

High-Output Hazardous Location Spark-Resistant Blowers
Powerful and durable, these blowers are able to blow air through larger systems that have more airflow resistance than standard hazardous location spark-resistant blowers can handle. They have an explosion-proof motor that is UL listed for hazardous locations. They also have an aluminum housing for spark resistance. These blowers install in ductwork similar to duct fans, but are for use where high static pressures are present. Use them for equipment cooling, material conveying, drying, ventilating, and exhausting.
Note: Airflow depends on the resistance created by ductwork. This resistance, known as static pressure (SP), is measured in inches of water.
