©2017

FIXED PITCH PROPELLERS - Cast/Fabricated (AIRFLOW = PM)
AIRFLOW = PM (AIR THROUGH PROP THEN MOTOR)

Airflow Direction Rotation is determined by viewing the propeller
from the discharge side of the fan.
Leading Edge of Blade
- Air is drawn through the propeller from the leading
edge of the blades. Intake Side
- The concave side of the blade cups the air and
pushes it away from the prop
Airflow Direction
air passes through
Prop then over Motor
(Airflow = PM)
aka: Hub on Intake

RH Rotation
NOTE 1: Airflow direction and rotation must be correct in order for
the fan to operate at 100% performance.

NOTE 2: If the propeller rotates in the wrong direction, you will not
get any airflow at all in the proper direction.
