AMCA Type C

Typical Non Ferrous Materials
-Aluminum Type C offers a minimal level of spark resistance and only
2 -Aluminum/Nickel/Bronze requires that possible contact between stationary and rotating
-Monel components be reduced. Typically, this construction includes the
-Copper use of an aluminum inlet cone and an aluminum rub ring. The
-Brass aluminum inlet cone will be the first point of fan wheel contact
-Bronze if there is a mechanical failure. The aluminum rub ring placed
at the opening of the housing where the shaft passes, protects
against contact of the steel fan shaft and steel fan housing.
