Cooling Blower For Shaker Motor

Cooling Blower For Shaker Motor

Cooling Blower For Shaker Motor

(OP)
I'm not really sure this is the right place, but seems that it might be.

I'm looking for a blower (or whatever will do the job) to produces 23SCFM @ 3+" H2O in the 3/4" port (and the entire motor) of a 5PM shaker motor (50lbf @ <5000Hz). I would prefer DC powered from <48V, however if nescessary I can add a AC mains tap and dedicated outlet.


Thanks
Nick

Possibly, I was hoping to find a miniture version of those, needing only 23 or so CFM I wonder what effects I'm going to get from those. (or how to throttle tehm down so that the suspension resonance doesnt change, this is a HCF/VHCF test system)

I have a couple 12v centrifugal blowers, but only get ~1"h2o in the motor body, and ~2.7" at fully blocked flow.

I used to use shop air and an accumulator, now though I only have a 2hp oil-free dental grade air compressor, and dont wnat to kill it running 100% duty cycle.

I have found almost exactly what I need. Although thee seems to be only one manufacturer of this type of blower.

Ametek makes blowers that will hit the pressure/flow conditions that I need. They are called windjammer or minijammer blowers.

This is their webpage:

relatively expensive, but with only one manufacturer and only one distributor (Allied Electronics) thats the boat I'm in.
