Nidec 12038 square fan for 24 V systems
This 120 mm by 38 mm square cooler from Nidec runs on 24 V at 0.41 A and uses a two-wire connection. It is built as a fan-only unit with ball-bearing construction and no LED lighting. The black frame suits industrial or server chassis that require a compact 12038 form factor.
Two-wire power simplifies wiring in rack mounts
The 2-wire lead delivers power without a separate tach or PWM line, so installation is a single plug into a 24 V header or terminal block. Ball bearings reduce friction compared with sleeve types, extending service life in continuous-operation environments. No bundled software or accessories are included beyond the fan itself.
Ball-bearing motor and 38 mm depth fit tight bays
The 38 mm thickness matches standard 12038 mounting holes, allowing drop-in replacement for legacy Nidec B34978-55 units. Ball-bearing design tolerates higher ambient temperatures than sleeve equivalents, and the two-wire interface avoids the need for fan-speed reporting headers. Buyers who need PWM speed control or a three-wire tach signal cannot use this model.

Questions about this item
Will the ball bearing in this 12038 fan need lubrication or replacement?
The ball bearing is sealed and rated for continuous operation without scheduled lubrication; replacement is only needed if noise or vibration increases after extended use.
What thermal limit appears first when this 24 V .41 A cooler runs continuously?
The motor’s 24 V 0.41 A rating sets the sustained power ceiling; exceeding the designed airflow envelope causes temperature rise before any electrical limit trips.
How loud and hot does the B34978-55 get during all-day operation?
With a 120 mm frame and 38 mm depth, the fan moves air at its rated 24 V current, producing moderate airflow noise and minimal heat from the motor itself.
