Delta Fan Cross-Reference — LONGWELL DC Axial Cooling Fan Replacement (40–254 mm)
Delta Electronics is the reference brand for DC brushless axial cooling fans in servers, telecom, power conversion, industrial and automotive equipment. LONGWELL builds a same-size DC axial cooling fan across the full Delta size range — 40, 60, 80, 92, 120, 172 and 254 mm, matching the AFB, AFC, GFB, FFB, PFB and THA/THB families — as same-size replacement candidates with the same mounting-hole pattern, the same 5/12/24/48 V DC supply and the same PWM and FG/tach control. Final model (thickness, airflow/static, connector, IP) is matched to your duty point and validated by a 1–3 day sample, at 30–55% lower landed cost and a 15–30 day series lead time.
Yes — LONGWELL can provide replacement candidates for many mainstream Delta DC axial cooling fan applications across the full size range. LONGWELL builds the same square frames (40 → 254 mm) with the same mounting-hole spacing, the same 5/12/24/48 V DC supply and the same PWM/FG control, so a same-size LONGWELL fan fits the same slot mechanically and electrically. Final model is confirmed by duty point, voltage/control, mounting and project validation via a 1–3 day sample.

DC Axial Range
Cross-Reference by Frame Size
DC axial cooling fans are defined by frame size, thickness, voltage and connector — so cross-referencing runs by size class. For each Delta frame below, LONGWELL builds a same-size DC axial fan. Delta figures are typical maxima from public datasheets (2026); LONGWELL variants are offered in standard, high-CFM and high-static grades to meet the same envelope. Confirm the exact model against your required airflow/static (CFM/Pa) and validate by sample.

|---|---|---|
| AFB | Standard axial DC brushless | Standard-grade DC axial (same size) |
| AFC | Higher speed / higher airflow axial | High-CFM grade DC axial |
| GFB / PFB | High static pressure (counter-rotating / deep frame) | High-static grade DC axial (38 mm deep / dual-stage on request) |
| FFB | Free-flow / high-airflow | High-CFM grade DC axial |
| THA / THB | 172 / 254 mm high-power server & inverter | LONGWELL 17251 / 254 mm DC axial · Ø200/Ø250 external-rotor EC/DC |
| BFB / BUB | Radial (centrifugal) blowers | LONGWELL DC centrifugal / mini blower |

Why Switch from Delta to LONGWELL
Full Size-Range Coverage
Faster Samples & Series
30–55% Lower Landed Cost
Mechanical & Electrical Fit
Same frame & mounting holes
LONGWELL builds each fan on the standard square (or round) DC axial footprint — 40×40, 60×60, 80×80, 92×92 and 120×120 mm — with the same corner mounting-hole spacing as the Delta part, so a same-size LONGWELL fan drops into the same mounting slot with no bracket change. In the 172/254 mm high-power classes LONGWELL builds the 172×172×51 (17251) and 172×172×38 (17238) catalog frames, the rectangular 172×150×51 frame built to order — a same-size fit for THA1748/FFB1712-class Delta fans — and 254 mm frames; Delta's round Ø172 (THB1748) is matched by duty with a mounting check. Confirm thickness (10/15/20/25/38/51 mm) against the specific Delta model.
Same supply & control
LONGWELL DC axial fans run on 5/12/24/48 V DC — the same rails as Delta — and offer the same control and feedback options: PWM (to 25 kHz), FG/tach speed sensor and RD alarm output, on 2/3/4 lead-wire configurations. Match the connector and control wiring to the specific Delta part being replaced.
Performance match
Match on airflow, static pressure, noise and rated life at the same operating point — not on a single headline figure. For high-static Delta parts (PFB / GFB) select the high-static LONGWELL grade; for high-airflow parts (AFC / FFB) select the high-CFM grade. Validate the exact model against your required CFM/Pa by sample.
Typical Applications
LONGWELL DC axial cooling fans serve the same equipment-cooling roles as Delta fans across:
- Servers, switches & networking / telecom enclosures
- Power conversion, inverters, EV chargers & UPS cabinets
- Industrial control, drives & automation equipment
- Automotive, bus & condenser cooling
- Medical devices, projectors, signage & CPU/GPU cooling
Match the exact LONGWELL model to the airflow/static, thickness and IP rating your equipment requires.
