Bearing options available for JARO”s frame-less bracket fans include dual-ball bearing and Aerospace Fluid Bearing (AFB) designs. JARO’s AFB bearing currently offers high overall performance by minimising mechanical friction, which results in a low-noise, long-life product.
By avoiding mechanical friction, JARO’s AFB bearings provide a virtually-silent operation as follows: As the fan starts to rotate, centrifugal force pushes aerospace fluid from the outside of the bearing towards the center of the rotating shaft. This force forms a thin film between the shaft and the bearing that greatly reduces friction, thus extending the life of the fan. The lead time for JARO’s standard bracket models is 4-8 weeks, while custom bracket models will run 10-12 weeks.
