How to Identify an Industrial Fan by Model Number and Nameplate

When sourcing an industrial fan, the most important information is the manufacturer and complete model number. Industrial fans from brands such as ebm-papst, ZIEHL-ABEGG, FULLTECH, Delta and SANYO DENKI are usually identified by a specific model code.

Start With the Complete Model Number

A complete model number may look like:

  • ebm-papst R2E220-AB06-05
  • ZIEHL-ABEGG FB063-6EK.4I.V4P
  • ZIEHL-ABEGG RF22P-2DK.3F.5R
  • FULLTECH UF-12A23BWH

The complete suffix is important because different versions within the same series may have different voltage, speed, power or mounting configurations.

Check the Fan Nameplate

The nameplate usually provides key information such as:

  • Model Number
  • Voltage
  • Frequency
  • Power
  • Current
  • Speed
  • IP Protection Rating
  • Manufacturer Part Number

Why Are Nameplate Photos Useful?

For some industrial fan models, especially older or less common products, public information may be limited. A clear nameplate photo makes it easier to confirm the exact model and electrical specifications.

Search by Brand + Model Number

The most accurate way to search for an industrial fan is:

Brand + Complete Model Number

For example:

ebm-papst D2D160-CE02-11

ZIEHL-ABEGG FB063-6EK.4I.V4P

FULLTECH UF-12A23BWH

Conclusion

For industrial fan sourcing, always start with the original brand and complete model number. If available, also check the nameplate for voltage, frequency, power and speed.
