What is an Arrangement 4 Fan?

Fan arrangements, based on AMCA standards, define the way a motor drives the fan, and how the motor mounts to the fan. An Arrangement 4 Fan is a direct driven fan with the fan wheel mounted to the motor shaft.

There are a number of reasons you might choose this arrangement, including:

  • Lower Maintenance
  • Tighter Footprint
  • Less Expensive Design

Components of an Arrangement 4 Fan

This is the most basic fan arrangement, where the fan wheel mounts directly on the motor shaft. There are no other drive components.

Additional items such as a damper, silencer, or vibration isolators may be available depending on the details of your application.
