Dayton 5N256A Cage Fan (Motor Cooling Fan)

Dayton 5N256A Cage Fan is a radial cage cooling fan designed to provide forced-air cooling for industrial electric motors. It moves air through motor housings to dissipate heat during continuous operation and is commonly installed on motors, pumps, compressors, conveyors, machine tools, and other industrial equipment requiring reliable motor cooling. Built from high-strength industrial thermoplastic and mounted via a press-fit motor shaft, it offers bidirectional rotation (application dependent) and is intended as an OEM replacement component for motor refurbishment, preventive maintenance, and cooling-system repairs. Common replacements include Dayton 5N257A, 5N258A, and 5N259A.
