4586NU Ebmpapst 4586NU IP54 Tubeaxial Fan | 90 CFM | 2700 RPM | 230VAC | Ball Bearing

Ebmpapst 4586NU Tubeaxial Fan

The Ebmpapst 4586NU represents German-engineered excellence in tubeaxial fan technology, combining high airflow performance with industrial-grade durability. Designed for demanding electronics cooling applications, this fan delivers 90 CFM (2.5 m³/min) airflow at 2700 RPM while maintaining a moderate 47dB(A) sound profile – making it ideal for applications where both cooling power and noise control matter.

Engineered for Reliability

At the heart of the 4586NU lies a precision ball bearing system ensuring 50,000+ hours of maintenance-free operation. The fan’s IP54-rated construction provides robust protection against dust ingress and splashing water, while its compact 119×119×38mm footprint allows flexible integration into confined spaces. Operating at 230VAC/50Hz with 18W power consumption, this fan strikes the perfect balance between performance and energy efficiency.

Optimized Airflow Design

Featuring ebm-papst’s advanced tubeaxial blade geometry, the 4586NU generates optimal pressure build-up for:

• Electronics cabinet cooling
• HVAC systems
• Industrial machinery ventilation
• Heat pump applications
• Telecom equipment thermal management

The plug-terminated wire leads simplify installation while ensuring secure electrical connections in vibration-prone environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does tubeaxial design differ from standard axial fans?
A: Tubeaxial fans like the 4586NU feature enhanced blade geometry that generates 30% higher static pressure than conventional axial designs while maintaining directional airflow – ideal for ducted systems.

Q2: What’s the expected lifespan in continuous operation?
A: The ball bearing system typically achieves 50,000+ hours MTBF at 40°C ambient temperature (25,000 hours at 70°C).

Q3: Can this fan be speed-controlled?
A: As a fixed-speed AC fan, the 4586NU operates at constant 2700 RPM. For variable speed needs, consider ebm-papst’s EC motor fans (e.g., 4300ET series).

Q4: Is the IP54 rating sufficient for outdoor use?
A: While IP54 protects against weather splashes, we recommend covered outdoor installations as prolonged rain exposure exceeds its protection level.

Q5: How does it compare to similar models?

Q6: What maintenance is required?
A: The sealed ball bearings require no lubrication. Periodically clean intake grilles in dusty environments using compressed air (<3 bar pressure).
