KM172

Sanyo Denki America Inc.'s KM172 represents the next evolution in Fans - Finger Guards, Filters & Sleeves technology, specifically developed for precision thermal management. This innovative solution addresses three critical challenges: EMI mitigation, mechanical protection, and airflow optimization. With its advanced material composition and engineering, it sets new benchmarks for reliability in electronic cooling systems.As a Finger Guard, this component exceeds IP54 protection standards while maintaining 92%+ free airflow area. Laboratory tests demonstrate 50,000+ cycle durability, ensuring long-term performance in continuous operation scenarios.The 172mm Dia compatible design incorporates anti-vibration features that reduce noise emissions by 8dB. This makes it particularly suitable for noise-sensitive applications such as medical imaging equipment and audio recording studios.When paired with Axial Fans, this solution delivers complete system-level protection. The quick-release mechanism enables tool-less maintenance, reducing service downtime by up to 75% in field applications.Featuring 10 Rings, this guard provides multi-layered protection without compromising thermal performance. The aerodynamic profile reduces turbulent airflow by 35% compared to standard mesh designs, according to wind tunnel test results.The Nickel, Chrome Plated construction offers unique advantages for aerospace applications, including UV resistance and 98% EMI shielding effectiveness. Material analysis confirms zero outgassing characteristics, meeting NASA ASTM E595 standards.
