Fans & Motors

Since 1951, IMC Magnetics has been a recognized leader in the design, development, prototyping, production and testing of fans and motors for the aerospace, defense and commercial sectors of industry. For over half a century, IMC has manufactured high performance fans and motors, such as DC brushless fans, induction motors, tube axial fans, vane axial fans, centrifugal fans and blowers, and mixed flow fans. Other IMC Magnetics motor products include stepper motors, synchronous motors and DC brushless motors.

IMC has designed and developed high quality, high performance fans, blowers and motors for aircraft, military vehicle, aerospace, marine, commercial and semiconductor applications. Almost every product that IMC Magnetics produces is custom designed by IMC to meet the customer's specific requirements and application. Samples of IMC Magnetics' work for customers with fan, blower and motor requirements include the following:

• Centrifugal Fans and Blowers: engineered for Omori-Japan, used in the Patriot Missile System
• DC Brushless Fans: developed for Honeywell Canada for the Hawker Horizon aircraft
• DC Brushless Motors: designed for BE Aerospace, used in the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft
• Induction Motors: built for GEC Marconi for military aircraft
• Mixed Flow Fans: engineered for Bell Textron for the 609 Tiltrotor Helicopter
• Tube Axial Fans: designed for Fairchild, used in the Apache Longbow Helicopter
• Vane Axial Fans: built for the U.S. Army Aviation Systems Command for the Apache Helicopter
• Stepper Motors: developed for Lockheed Martin, used in the A2100 Satellite, GPS Constellation and many more
• Synchronous Motors: engineered for Westinghouse/Omaha Power for use in a Nuclear Power Plant

	Other examples of IMC products include stepper motors for use in U.S. Navy nuclear submarines, DC brushless fans for use in office automation and telecommunications equipment, and centrifugal fans contracted for by the U.S. Defense Industrial Supply Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
IMC Magnetics has also designed fans for use in environmental control systems, specifically for air movement, smoke detectors and electronic cooling, just to name a few applications.

As noted above, IMC Magnetics custom designs most of its products to a customer's specific requirements, usually to an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) source control drawing. IMC can design fan and blower motors for any AC or DC voltage and frequency, although the most common voltages are 115, 208 or 230 volts AC and 28 volts DC. IMC Magnetics can also develop fans and motors requiring dual voltages such as 115/230 or 208/440 volts AC. IMC has the capability to design motors and fans for standard AC frequencies such as 60 Hz and 400 Hz, but also specializes in providing designs that require a wide range of frequencies. Additionally, IMC Magnetics specializes in custom DC brushless fans and blower motors for any customer application or requirement. Furthermore, IMC's testing laboratory rates the performance of all designed fans from tests made in accordance with the Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) Standard 210.
