DC Brushless Fans (BLDC)

1. Overview

DC Brushless Fans (BLDC) are electronically commutated fans that use permanent magnet rotors and stationary coil stators. Unlike traditional brushed DC fans, BLDC fans eliminate mechanical brushes, reducing wear and tear while improving efficiency. They play a critical role in modern thermal management systems, ensuring reliable cooling for electronics in computers, industrial equipment, automotive systems, and consumer devices. Their advantages include high energy efficiency (up to 90%+), low noise levels (20-50 dB(A)), and extended operational lifespans (>50,000 hours).

2. Main Types and Functional Classification

Type	Functionality Features	Application Examples
40-60mm Mini Fans	Compact design, low power (2-5W), PWM control	Mini PCs, Network routers
80-120mm Standard Fans	High airflow (50-200 CFM), balanced noise-performance	Servers, Power supplies
High-Static Pressure Fans	Optimized blade design (30-60 Pa pressure), dust resistance	Telecom cabinets, Industrial HVAC
Low-Noise Fans	Aerodynamic blades, hydro bearing ( 25 dB(A))	Home appliances, Medical equipment
Smart Fans	Integrated sensors, IoT connectivity, variable speed	Data centers, EV battery cooling

3. Structure and Components

A typical BLDC fan comprises:

Stator Assembly: Laminated steel core with three-phase windings
Permanent Magnet Rotor: Rare-earth magnets (NdFeB) for high torque
Control Circuit: Hall-effect sensors + MOSFET driver IC for electronic commutation
Bearing System: Ball bearings (70,000 hours L10) or sleeve bearings
Housing: UL94 V-0 rated plastic or aluminum alloy

4. Key Technical Specifications
