Light Duty Fans | McMaster-Carr

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.

Multi-Mount Office Fans

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.

Belt-drive fans are quieter and have a longer life span than direct-drive fans because their parts can be replaced if worn or damaged.
