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.

Cross-references: Delta AFB / AFC / GFB / FFB / PFB / THA / THB Sizes: 40 · 60 · 80 · 92 · 120 · 172 · 254 mm Voltage: 5 / 12 / 24 / 48 V DC Sample: 1–3 days
Direct answer

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.

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.

Why Switch from Delta to LONGWELL

Full Size-Range Coverage

40–254 mm
A same-size DC axial fan for every standard Delta frame — 40, 60, 80, 92, 120, 172 and 254 mm — same mounting holes, same voltage, same PWM/FG control. Same-size replacement candidate; confirm the exact grade by duty point.

Faster Samples & Series

1–3 days
Sample units in 1–3 days for field validation; series production in 15–30 days after PO — versus multi-week lead times on non-stock, high-power or customised Delta parts.

30–55% Lower Landed Cost

−30–55%
At equivalent same-size spec (airflow/Pa, voltage, control, bearing). Final pricing depends on quantity, size, thickness, voltage and control options.

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.

FAQ

Can LONGWELL replace Delta Electronics cooling fans?
Yes. LONGWELL can provide replacement candidates for many mainstream Delta DC axial cooling fan applications across the full size range — 40, 60, 80, 92, 120, 172 and 254 mm (AFB, AFC, GFB, FFB, PFB and THA/THB). LONGWELL builds the same frame sizes with the same mounting-hole pattern, the same 5/12/24/48 V DC supply and the same PWM and FG/tach control, so it fits the same slot mechanically and electrically. Final model (thickness, airflow/static, connector, IP) is confirmed by duty point, voltage/control, mounting and project validation via a 1–3 day sample.
Is the LONGWELL fan a drop-in for Delta by size?
For each standard square Delta frame — 40×40, 60×60, 80×80, 92×92 and 120×120 mm — LONGWELL builds a same-size DC axial fan with the same footprint, mounting-hole spacing, lead-wire/connector options and voltage, so it drops into the same mounting slot. In the 172 and 254 mm high-power classes LONGWELL builds 172×172×51 and 172×172×38 catalog frames plus the rectangular 172×150×51 frame built to order, and 254 mm frames; round Ø172 Delta frames are covered as duty matches with a mounting check. Match the exact model to the required CFM/Pa and thickness, then validate by sample.
Which LONGWELL model replaces the Delta AFB1212 or PFB1212 (120 mm)?
A 120×120×25/38 mm Delta AFB1212 (standard) or PFB1212 (high-static, up to ~253 CFM / ~1.4 inH2O) maps to the LONGWELL 120 mm DC axial family (12025 / 12038) in the matching speed/pressure grade. Confirm the exact grade against your required CFM/Pa, then validate by sample.
Which LONGWELL model replaces the Delta THB1748 / THA1748 (172 mm)?
The Delta THB1748/THA1748 172 mm high-power fan (48 V DC, up to ~600 CFM, ~3.8 inH2O, PWM + tach) maps to the LONGWELL 172 mm DC axial platform — catalog 17251 (172×172×51 mm, 12/24/48 V DC, 2,500–6,000 rpm, 183.3–456 CFM) and 17238 (172×172×38 mm), plus the rectangular 172×150×51 frame built to order — so THA1748/FFB1712-class rectangular fans are same-size replacement candidates. Round Ø172 THB1748-class duty (~600 CFM) is covered by the LONGWELL Ø200 external-rotor EC/DC platform. Confirm airflow/static, control and mounting against the specific part and validate by sample.
What is the 2026 lead time and cost difference?
LONGWELL ships samples in 1–3 days and series orders in 15–30 days, versus multi-week lead times on non-stock, high-power or customised Delta parts. At equivalent same-size specification, LONGWELL typically lands 30–55% below Delta pricing; final pricing depends on quantity, size, thickness, voltage and control options.
