Applications

Direct drive centrifugal blower units like this Marathon 48A17O226B are used in a wide range of HVAC, industrial, and commercial ventilation applications. The direct drive configuration — where the blower wheel mounts directly on the motor shaft — eliminates belt and pulley wear, making these units a common choice for air handling systems, exhaust ventilation, equipment cooling, and climate control in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and cleanroom or laboratory environments. The 48T frame is a standard NEMA motor frame, and at 3/4 HP with a 115V single-phase supply, this unit is well suited to retrofit and replacement installations where a compact, self-contained blower assembly is needed. The louvered steel outlet panel allows direct duct or plenum connection.
