Powerful compact fan for FPV goggles
Drones are becoming more widely used. The latest trend is FPV racing of our customer Orqa. The special feature is that the pilot controls the drone via FPV (First Person View). This enables pilots to control the aerial vehicle as if they are sitting directly on it. However, the best equipped goggles have little use if the lenses fog up or the system overheats. SEPA EUROPE’s mini fan MF15B is a great help in dealing with this problem. It is small yet so powerful that the entire hot air can be exhausted from the housing
The fan requirements for the FPV goggles were extremely high: compact, powerful and quiet. An important factor was to avoid the fogging of the lenses and to disperse the hot air. This project was finally realized using the axial fan MF15B. With its compact dimensions of merely 15x15x4.5 mm and a weight of only 1 g, it was obviously the right choice of fan as it can also guarantee reliable and trouble-free operation.
Thanks to the renowned MagFix© bearing, this compact fan has an impressive service life expectancy of 210000 h (MTBF at 40 °C). Furthermore it has a high shock and vibration resistance which is of great importance for this application. Not only were the performance values of significance but also a low noise level. In this respect, the MF15B is the logical choice boasting a maximum noise level of 12 dB(A) at nominal speed.
We supplied our customers Orqa with a special version where the speed can be adapted via a PWM input so that the air flow in the device remains comfortably quiet and does not disturb the user.
