The brain of most modern day systems like production lines and mobile network infrastructure is typically housed inside an industrial control cabinet. These enclosures safeguard internal components from outside influences like temperature fluctuations, contaminants, and possible tampering while also protecting the public from coming into direct contact with any of the sensitive electronic equipment.

Regardless of size or style, the one thing all enclosures have in common is that the electrical components inside them generate heat. Excessive heat can lead to a decrease in the overall efficiency of the system, underperformance, or even malfunction of one or more of the components leading to complete system failure and costly downtime. Maintaining the optimal temperature in the enclosure is critical to ensure safe and reliable operation.

ebm-papst’s AxiForce tubeaxial fan series is ideal for keeping a consistent, optimized temperature in control units for automation and other highly-modern technologies, such as 5G power modules. Due to its variable installation, high cooling capacity in the smallest of spaces, and interactive integration into the device logic, it has already proven to be indispensable in modern automation.
