Diagram and Dimensions

A clear image shows a square-shaped axial fan with black blades and a central hub. The fan is mounted in a black frame with mounting holes visible at the corners. The ebm-papst logo is visible in the top right corner.

The document includes a technical drawing illustrating the dimensions and mounting details of the AxiACi120-00206 fan. It includes top and side views. Key dimensions provided are: overall diameter (Ø122 mm), mounting hole diameter (8x Ø4.3 mm), fan depth (38.15 ±0.15 mm), and mounting flange dimensions (119 ±0.3 mm, 116 mm, 104.8 ±0.2 mm). The drawing also notes that rotor overhang is permissible up to 0.6 mm and that there is no axial clearance for ball bearings due to a pre-load spring.
