Compact W2S130-AA01-16 AC fan with 230V, 0.28A, 63W for heat dissipation in automation systems

Description
The W2S130-AA01-16 is a 130 mm square AC axial fan from ebm-papst’s renowned W2S series,engineered for demanding industrial thermal management applications.As part of the GreenTech EC/AC portfolio,it delivers high airflow with robust construction,integrated protection features,and long-life ball bearings—making it ideal for cooling electrical enclosures,variable frequency drives,power supplies,and automation cabinets.
Application Scenarios
In a steel rolling mill in the Ruhr Valley,frequent overheating caused repeated shutdowns of Siemens SINAMICS drive cabinets during summer months.Standard off-the-shelf fans failed within weeks due to dust ingress and thermal stress.The maintenance team replaced them with the W2S130-AA01-16,leveraging its IP54 rating,reinforced impeller,and automatic thermal restart capability.Operating continuously at 55°C ambient,the fan maintained internal cabinet temperatures below 45°C for over 18 months—eliminating unplanned downtime.For system integrators and OEMs,the W2S130-AA01-16 isn’t just a cooling component;it’s a reliability multiplier that safeguards mission-critical electronics in harsh environments.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values
Thermally Intelligent Design:The W2S130-AA01-16 incorporates an embedded bimetallic thermal switch that cuts power if internal temperature exceeds safe limits—then automatically restarts once cooled—preventing burnout during blocked-airflow events common in dusty plants.
Aerodynamic Efficiency:Backward-curved blades with optimized pitch and hub geometry maximize static pressure performance,ensuring effective cooling even in restricted ducts or filtered enclosures—critical for VFD and UPS applications.
Industrial-Grade Durability:Ball bearings(not sleeve)enable reliable operation at high ambient temperatures(up to 60°C continuous)and in any mounting orientation,while the glass-fiber reinforced plastic housing resists deformation and chemical exposure.
Predictive Maintenance Ready:The built-in tachometer output allows PLCs or monitoring systems to detect speed deviations—enabling early fault detection before thermal failure occurs.
Global Compliance:Certified to UL,CSA,CE,CCC,and RoHS,the W2S130-AA01-16 meets international safety and environmental standards,simplifying global machine deployment.
Application Cases and Industry Value
At a data center in Frankfurt,the W2S130-AA01-16 was selected to cool edge computing cabinets housing Rockwell ControlLogix processors in non-climate-controlled zones.Its consistent airflow prevented CPU throttling during heatwaves,while the tach signal fed into the DCIM system for real-time health monitoring.Over two years,zero fan-related failures were recorded—compared to quarterly replacements with generic brands.In another instance,a Japanese robotics OEM standardized on the W2S130-AA01-16 for its controller cabinets,citing its low acoustic signature(54 dB)as key to meeting factory noise regulations without sacrificing cooling performance.

Installation,Maintenance,and Full-Cycle Support
Installing the W2S130-AA01-16 requires only basic tools:secure it via the four corner M4-compatible holes(with optional anti-vibration mounts),connect line/neutral to the terminal block,and link the tach wire to a monitoring input if used.Ensure minimum clearance(≥20 mm)on intake and exhaust sides for optimal performance.The fan operates maintenance-free thanks to sealed ball bearings and no brushes—but periodic visual inspection for dust buildup on blades is recommended in heavy-contamination areas.
