When the customer has a need to purchase. Cooling fan At times, I believe many customers will ask whether the seller is a reputable manufacturer. There are generally two reasons for this: First, cooling fans sold directly by manufacturers are definitely cheaper than those sold through distributors; second, fans sold by manufacturers are genuine and not refurbished units. Shenzhen Jiangshanlai Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of cooling fans with 16 years of R&D and production experience. Having been deeply rooted in the industry for 16 years, the editor here would like to explain how to distinguish between refurbished fans and genuine ones, providing you with a helpful reference when purchasing cooling fans so that you can avoid any pitfalls!
First, when selecting a fan, take a close look at the trademark: The trademarks on genuine factory-made cooling fans are printed with exquisite detail, featuring even colors, clear and glossy lettering, and a raised texture. In contrast, the trademarks on refurbished fans—being non-genuine—are of poor print quality. Often, the background color varies in shade, the lettering lacks any raised texture, and a gentle scrape with your fingernail will easily remove the color from the surface. By contrast, the trademark on a genuine fan remains unaffected even when lightly scratched with a fingernail.
Next, let’s take a look at the fan blades: On the surface of the blades of an original, genuine cooling fan, you’ll notice a matte finish. When held up to the light, you can see fine, evenly distributed particles; and when you touch them with your hand, they feel rough. In contrast, refurbished fans, having been exposed to prolonged friction with air, have lost these surface particles altogether, leaving their blades smooth and glossy—so much so that you can even see traces of wear and tear from handling.
Finally, there are the mounting holes: Since refurbished fans have all been used before, traces will remain on the mounting holes. If self-tapping screws were used, you’ll find screw threads inside the holes; if screws and nuts were used for fastening, you’ll see indentation marks left by the nuts around the holes.

That’s all for today’s sharing from our editor. For more details and information, please get in touch with us!

Advantages and Applications of Oil-Bearing DC Fans

The pivot joint is fixed at the position of the motor stator base, ensuring an appropriate gap between the rotor and the stator. Of course, there must also be a clearance between the shaft core and the bearings to prevent the shaft core from becoming locked and thus unable to function. The stator structure of the motor—hereafter referred to as the "stator"—is designed in such a way that, once power is supplied, an induced magnetic field will be generated between the rotor and the stator. The control circuit then drives the electric fan motor into operation. Therefore, in the conventional fan motor design, as long as the fan rotor, the motor stator, and the drive circuit work together via the pivot joint between the shaft core and the bearings and through magnetic field induction, the motor can operate effectively.
