Davies, Craig is a well renowned Australian designer & manufacturer of high quality automotive electric radiator fans, founded in 1971 they have grown enormously to become one of the leading suppliers for not only electric radiator fans, but also Electric Water Pumps and digital control systems. Davies, Craig have extensive design, testing and manufacturing facilities that allow them to produce consistent high quality products that can withstand the most demanding conditions.

Davies, Craig Axial Fan Motors are IP68 rated, this protection offers the highest stability, durability and lifelong performance for motors used in extreme working conditions. All IP68 certified SPAL motors are Water Proof which means they are completely sealed and therefore protected against ingress of solid and liquid agents.

A Davies Craig Thermatic Fan is suitable for both condenser and radiator cooling. Thermatic Fans provide; Constant air flow, increased fuel economy, air conditioning performance, cooler engine running, low profile, high performance, increased engine power and fully reversible blades and polarity for bi-directional air flow.

These fan assemblies are set up for upstream applications.

For downstream applications the fan blade must be removed and turned over and the polarity reversed. Always check that the fan blade rotates in the direction shown by the arrows on the blade before making a permanent wiring connection and prior to fastening the unit to the radiator.

Davies, Craig fans can be mounted in various ways, the fans have bolt holes & slide-in mounting flanges around the circumference of the housing. The most popular method is by using the Bracket & Strap mount, the straps are made from powder-coated steel and are approximately 200mm long, for most applications they are long enough to reach mounting flanges on the top, bottom or sides of the radiator. Other mounting brackets are available in lengths of 20, 30 and 60mm.

We also offer a few sizes of through-core mounting bolt kits, however these aren't recommended for heavy fans as they will eventually damage the radiator.

Other mounting kits and brackets are sold seperately.

Q: What fan size should I chose?

A: Go for the biggest fan you can fit, if you have a slim and long radiator then it may be best to run twin fans, especially in warmer climates.

Q: Standard, High Performance & Brushless Motors?

A: Most Davies Craig fans are available as Standard motored fans, the High Performance motors operate at a higher RPM and flow proportionately greater amounts of air, a higher electrical consumption and greater noise level are the trade-offs.

Brushless Motored fans offer variable fan speed via PWM signal, they offer the highest waterproof rating (IP6K9K) and the longest service life of 10,000 hrs MTBF. Usually only very specialist applications warrant these features.

Q: Which motor type should I chose?

A: The standard fans are fine for most applications, this is the type that we run on most of our projects here at the shop. For cars that are running extra thick radiators with air conditioning, turbo intercoolers or transmission coolers it is recommended to move up to a more powerful motor over the standard type.

Q: How do I control the fan?

A: We recommend wiring them up to be activated using a temperature sender in your vehicles cooling system, a toggle switch is not recommended as you may forget to turn it on at the proper time - plus this is one less thing to worry about! We stock a wide range of fan controllers, from mechanical to digital.

Q: Can the fans run in reverse?

A: Yes, the fans are supplied as as a push configuration, for downstream (pull) applications the fan blade must be removed and turned over and the polarity reversed. Always check that the fan blade rotates in the direction shown by the arrows on the blade before making a permanent wiring connection and prior to fastening the unit to the radiator.

Q: Push or Pull?

A: Push fans sit in front of the radiator and push air through the core, Pull fans sit behind the radiator (usually the engine side) and draw air through the core.

ATTENTION
