Roller Ball Crossflow Fans

  • product description

The ball cross-flow fan is a special type of fan, whose most important feature is the use of ball bearing and magnetic ring technology, which can effectively reduce noise and improve air output, efficiency and service life. The use of this type of fan on DC and AC fans with mixed forms of sliding and rolling friction reflects its low cost, but at the same time, due to its use of ball bearings, the price is high, which may limit the scope of its application.


The overall structure of a ball crossflow fan is rather unique in that it consists of an outer frame, a drive unit, and fan blades. The outer frame includes a frame, a guide vane and a first support, with a centre tube provided on the first support. The driving device includes a stator and a rotor, with the stator set in the first holding chamber and the rotor set in the second holding chamber via ball bearings. The fan blade includes a blade and a second support, and the blade is set on the second support.


The operating principle of the ball cross-flow fan is that by changing the ratio of the area of the guide blades to the area of the gap between adjacent guide blades, the minimum spacing distance between the blades and the guide blades, and the use of technical means such as the ball bearing and the magnetic ring, the fluid is made to flow twice through the impeller of the fan, with the intake and exhaust directions being in the same plane, and the discharged gas being uniformly distributed along the direction of the width of the fan.


Ball cross-flow fans are used in a wide range of applications, including laser instruments, air conditioners, air curtain equipment, dryers, hairdryers, home appliances, and grain combine harvesters. Its main function is to dissipate heat, and its motor structure is simple, easy to produce and convenient to use.

Overall, the ball crossflow fan is a high-efficiency, low-noise fan with a long service life, but its high price may limit its use in some application scenarios.

  • The effect of high temperature operation of axial fans on machines

    Axial fans working at high temperatures can have a very serious impact on the machine, this is because axial fan wear is mainly caused by dust wear, irrational operation and excessive fan speeds. In high temperature environments, where fans run at double the speed, axial fan wear may increase threefold.First, high temperatures cause the axial fan's lubricant to evaporate, which expands the parts, increases friction, and increases coil resistance, affecting heat dissipation and longevity. This can lead to unbalanced rotation of the axial fan, affecting heat dissipation and longevity.Secondly, high temperatures can damage axial fan bearings, blades and motors, leading to fan vibration, shorter life and failure to function properly. This is due to the damage caused to the axial fan's ...

  • Difference between a stand fan and a desktop fan

    Stand fans and desktop fans are both common types of fans on the market today, and they each have their own characteristics, so people can choose the right fan for their needs.

  • Difference between DC and AC fans

    DC fans and AC fans are two different types of fans that differ in their use, construction, and principle of operation.A DC fan is powered by a DC power supply and its principle of operation is to rotate by the suction force generated by the conductor current. It contains magnets and PCB boards in its construction, so in terms of price, DC fans of the same grade are more expensive than AC fans. DC fans have higher airflow stability and are suitable for devices that require constant airflow, such as computers and household appliances.AC fans, on the other hand, rotate by switching the magnetic field generated by the silicon steel sheet. Compared to DC fans, AC fans are relatively simple to construct, have no magnets, and their airflow stability is limited by the frequency of the power suppl...
