AntiVib Fan

AntiVib Fan
The Optimum Balance of Dynamics and Quietness, low vibration
and high effective cooling solution
SUNON offers a series of low vibration and high effective cooling fans, which are suitable for 5G,
data center, server, and cloud storage system applications. Vibration is caused by a fan’s high-
speed rotation which creates high-density magnetic fields in the fan itself. The faster the fan spins
the higher the level its vibration reaches. When the whole fan system operates with a higher mag-
netic density, the fan is gradually degraded, and magnetic resonance causes further damage to
other system operations.
SUNON’s AntiVib fan motors structure is an adopted automotive "engine mount" design, where a
shock absorption material is inserted into the gap between the motor and the fan frame. This design
not only prevents the fan frames degradation, but also lowers vibration that is generated by high-
speed rotation.

AntiVib, excellent damping structure for a motor

SUNON AntiVib fan motor has a damping structure, with shock absorption inserted into the gap
called the isolation zone to block the the vibration impact that damages the frame (as shown in
image below). This structural design can also reduce the vibration amplitude generated by high-
speed rotation to further prevent system dysfunctions. The AntiVib technique is widely applied to
manufactured fans with speeds over 20,000 R.P.M. Below chart indicates an up to a 70% of reduc-
tion in the vibration level. One benefit of the motor design is a steady fan function without any
interruption due to vibration.
