Air Craft is stocking the
full Wemotec Fan line from October 20, 2003. Initially, we'll have
only the fan units on the website, but plan to stock all the most
commonly requested parts as well. If you need something and don't
see it, please mail us for availability.
We're also working on adding a motor/battery applications table for each
fan type. There's not enough data available from manufacturers
though, so we'd appreciate your email with results you've observed.
Please state fan unit type, cell type, cell count, amperage and, if
available, thrust measurements. |

This completely new fan is another
design by Ulf Herder, utilizing CAD/CAM techniques. It has a 50 mm inner
diameter and accepts motors up to 25 mm in diameter. The rotor is
mounted on a prop adaptor which fits onto the motor shaft. Adaptors are
available for 2.0, 2.3 and 3.17 mm motor shafts to fit all commonly
available motors.
The fan unit was designed around the Graupner SPEED 300 motor, which
gives about 200g of thrust on eight cells. The rotor is glass reinforced
so it is rigid enough to efficiently use more powerful brushless motors
like Hacker B20 and Razor Motors.
For the battery we recommend HEcell and KAN 2/3 cells for single-fan
models and CP 1300/1700 for use with twins. However, the best
power-to-weight is achieved with E-Tec 1200mAh 2S2P Lithium Polymer
packs (7.4V, 2400mAh, 18A peak) combined with a high-Kv brushless motor.
The fan unit comes without an intake lip, which therefore needs to be
part of the model. |

The Wemotec Mini Fan 480 has been
designed to accept the wide range of 29 mm motors, although it will
gladly accept the SPEED 400 types as well. The glass reinforced
five-blade rotor comes in one piece, which makes assembling of the unit
quite easy. With a standard SPEED 480 race motor on eight cells
one can achieve thrust figures in excess of 400 grams. With brushless
motors from Hacker, and Mega Motors thrust figures up to 10 N have been
measured. |

The standard for 90 mm ducted fans!
The Wemotec Midi Fan follows the same design philosophy that made the
Mini Fan 480 a world wide success. It replaces both the Eco Fan II and
Eco Fan Pro The new Midi Fan provides:
- maximum static thrust
- high efficiency at all speeds
The fan can be driven by a simple 540 can motor on seven cells, or by
brushless motors running on more than 20 cells. Depending on the motor
used, static thrust in excess of 700 grams can be achieved at only 200 W
input, but the fan can be run up to 1000 W input to deliver 20 N of
thrust and more. The fan unit comes nearly ready to use. Just the rotor
and motor need to be mounted.
Eco Fan II and Eco Fan-pro can easily be upgraded to the new standard by
changing rotor and adaptor only. |

'Offshore' a company situated in
Bremen (www.e-impeller.de)
offers a wide range of plans for EDF models. Most of the plans are based
on a fan unit of 66 mm diameter. In the past that meant buying a Mini
Fan 480, cutting off the outer ring (shroud) and carefully trimming down
the stators and rotor. Now we do this job for you.
All that you have do is to build the ducting and glue in the stator.
We also offer 200 and 400mm long, pre-built tubes too. The HW 505
consumes about 10% less current compared to the standard Mini Fan 480.
Thrust is reduced by about the same amount. This is usually compensated
by one extra cell in the battery. The exhaust pipe may be reduced to 52
mm diameter to achieve a higher efflux velocity.
Obviously, this fan unit may be used in other designs too. It saves a
considerable amount of weight compared to the Mini Fan 480 and
especially with critical ducting situations it may show its advantages.

The smallest fan in the Wemotec HW
range is a cut down version of the Midi Fan. This can especially be seen
at the rotor design. We have reduced torque consumption and increased
rpm instead.
This makes fitting existing electric motors much easier. You can choose
a 16 turn buggy motor running on 7-8 cells at the low end, or choose a
motor like the powerful Hacker or Mega Brushless motor on up to 14
cells. You should choose this EDF unit if the Mini Fan 480 is not
powerful enough, and if there is no suitable space available to fit a 90
mm fan unit. Of special interest is this fan unit as a tuning fan in
models like Robbe Gnat or Kyosho T-33 and F-16. These models are
typically driven by a Hacker B40 motor on 8 to 10 CP-1700 cells. |
| HW 620 |
 |

Technical Data |
| Material: |
Nylon, ABS,
Aluminium |
| Weight: |
ca. 80 g
(int. parts and shroud) |
| Rotor: |
85 mm,

45,5 qcm |
| Aeff.: |
43,0 qcm |
| Static
Thrust: |
ca. 5-20 N |
|
This unit is similar in size and
performance to the Midi Fan. You can choose the same motors, but you
will gain a higher efflux velocity at slightly lower static thrust.
As in the HW 609 fan, the stator comes readily assembled in the outer
tube. It is just left to you to mount the motor and fit the fan unit in
your individual model.
Wemotec developed this fan especially for the Wemotec F-16, which comes
completely molded and takes advantage of the efficiency of this unit.
The ducting comes with the model and is optimized for the HW 620. |

HW730 |

Technical Data |
| Material: |
Nylon, ABS,
Aluminium, Carbon |
| Weight: |
ca. 148 g (int.

50,0 qcm (80 mm

| Static Thrust: |
10-25 N |
|
First-class performance within the 20
cell class is where the HW 730 feels home. Performance is well beyond the
limits of 90 mm fan units at only slightly increased diameter. For the first
time ever this kit comes with a hand-laid, seven-blade carbon rotor. This
brought the weight of the rotor down to a mere 34 g, which reduces vibration
remarkably, and makes the fan run very smoothly. Mounting time for this unit
is about two hours. B50 XL motors and Mega 22-45-X are popular choices. |

When Wemotec designed this top of the
range fan they thought that it would sell only in limited numbers. Today
they try very hard to keep up with the demand, and sometimes fail. Ulf
Herder designed a complete new rotor following his own design philosophy.
This new rotor is hand laminated in carbon fiber, for maximum strength and
low weight.
The maximum thrust is now no longer limited by the fan unit, but the size of
the battery, i.e. energy you are willing to feed into the system. On 30
cells you can get thrust of 35 N or more.
The new rotor is compatible to the SM-Tech 95 shroud, so that you can easily
upgrade existing units. This fan unit comes w/o intake lip or nozzle. It is
intended for internal installation. |
