Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Motor Hub

Definition
The motor hub is the critical interface component in a cooling fan assembly that transmits rotational force from the motor shaft to the fan blades. It serves as the mounting point for blades and ensures balanced rotation for efficient airflow generation.
Working Principle
The motor hub converts the rotational motion from the motor shaft into synchronized blade movement. It maintains precise alignment between the motor and blades while withstanding centrifugal forces during operation.
Common Materials
Aluminum alloy, Steel, Engineering plastic
Technical Parameters
  • Hub diameter and mounting hole specifications (mm) Standard Spec
Components / BOM
  • Hub Body
    Main structural element that connects to motor shaft
    Material: Aluminum alloy
  • Mounting Flange
    Surface for blade attachment with precise hole pattern
    Material: Steel
  • Set Screw
    Secures hub to motor shaft
    Material: Stainless steel
Engineering Reasoning
3000-15000 RPM at 0.5-2.5 N·m torque
Exceeds 16000 RPM or 3.0 N·m torque, causing bearing fatigue life reduction below L10=1000 hours
Design Rationale: Brinelling from Hertzian contact stress exceeding 1.8 GPa at ball-race interface, initiating subsurface microcracks per Lundberg-Palmgren theory
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Shaft misalignment exceeding 0.05 mm/mm per ISO 21940-11
Mode: Bearing premature wear with vibration amplitude >4.5 mm/s RMS
Strategy: Integral flexible coupling with <0.02 mm/mm misalignment tolerance
Trigger Lubricant thermal degradation above 120°C for >1000 hours
Mode: Increased friction torque >3.5 N·m causing motor overload
Strategy: Forced-air cooling maintaining bearing temperature <90°C via 15 CFM airflow
