Didn't know the access to that file is restricted, sorry. I've pasted the photo in.

JPEG is better

That's all I have access to. I cut and pasted it.

No label for specs, no size?

What you see is all the info I have. I've received a very interesting claim that certain manufacturers use metal in the hub: "they used metal casing inside the fan hub, adding weight. So their fan spin down slowly is just simple physics, heavier things have higher inertia!" If the inference made is correct, this MIGHT be NF-A12 or an OLD Nidec Gentle Typhoon.

Well, it looks like a server fan, maybe MNB, Delta, ADDA, but to name it exaclty will be dificult

 

[mechtech]

nope

Just what i was thinking or maybe a pana fan.

It's a Vantec Tornado.

What did I win??

Yep, large motor, short blades high rev, like 90mm

It's a Nidec UltraFlo T80T12MHA7-52.

Ok, so are you guessing or do you have a hobby where you disassemble fans?

I genuinely don't know.

This will be fun

This is neither a noctua of any description, nor is like any Nidec impeller I've seen.

TBH, that is either missing (broken off) a bearing spindle, or it's a mag-lev fan which is something Corsair do in the PC industry and I believe it's licensed from Sunon who hold the patent. I certainly don't recognise it as a Corsair fan so my best guess is that it's an industrial Sunon fan from an appliance rather than a PC fan. What did it come out of? Sometimes it's easier to identify the component if you can narrow down its purpose and the manufacturer whose appliance it was fitted to originally.

I have minimal experience with Sunon fans outside of the ones I've replaced in my oven to cool the electronics board during operation, and one in a bathroom air extractor, so I'll pass the torch with a 8/10 confidence rating it's a Sunon of some description. Approximate size would likely help narrow down the search....

edit:
This looks rough:

Perhaps it's not a maglev bearing and is just plain broken. Can you confirm?

It's not a guess. That domain where you linked the image from is from a page with a teardown where one of the images shows the sticker with brand name and model number on it.

It's a Nidec UltraFlo T80T12MHA7-52.

I have no other info . The image was sent to me, along with the statement.

Thank you!

I genuinely don't know.

It was a wild guess on my part.

Now that dude figured it out, it's boring here again.

Fk that guy. XD (kidding. No panty bunching please)

 

[dirtyferret]

its a black fan.

I don't see color when I look at fans, I treat them all as equals

Black fans matter

Ah yeah, clearly shows they snapped the spindle and bearing clean off in other photos from the sequence so we weren't looking at a maglev bearing at all, we were looking at the bottom half of a broken bearing shell.

Good call on the reverse image search, I foolishly assumed that had already been done!
