Abstract: An impeller for an electric fan, has a central hub for connection to the rotor of an electric motor, and from which a plurality of blades extends. The hub is bowl-shaped, with an end wall which is connected to an annular lateral wall, and its end wall has a plurality of slots, spaced apart circumferentially, which are inclined in the same direction with respect to the radial direction. The inner surface of the end wall of the hub has a plurality of ribs protruding from this surface, between the slots, these ribs also being inclined in the same direction with respect to the radial direction and being adapted to serve as inner fan blades. These ribs have at least one substantially transverse cut-out or interruption in a predetermined position.

Abstract: An axial fan for a cooling fan module, includes a hub having a front wall configured to be connected to a rotor of an electric motor at a plurality of connection points, and a side wall from which a plurality of blades extend. At least one opening is formed in the front wall of the hub and between at least one of the connection points and the side wall. The at least one opening comprises a curved portion extending in a circumferential direction with respect to an axis of the hub.

Abstract: An axial fan for a cooling fan module has a cup-shaped central hub with a front wall intended to be connected to the rotor of an electric motor at connection points and with a side wall from which a plurality of outer blades extend. At least one transverse opening is provided in the front wall of the hub, between each of the connection points and the side wall, the opening extending in the circumferential direction, relative to the axis of the hub, beyond the associated connection point in both directions, so that the vibrations transmitted during operation from the motor to the front wall of the hub are propagated towards the side wall of the hub following a path which is longer than a radial path.

Abstract: An electric fan has an electric motor driving an axial fan. The fan has a cup-shaped hub, with a front wall, and a side wall from which there extends a plurality of outer blades. The motor has an outer rotor including a rotor cap to which the front wall of the hub is attached. From the inner surface of the hub and/or from the outer surface of the rotor cap, there extend protruding formations which, when the fan performs an oscillation of predetermined extent with respect to the rotor, impact the rotor cap and/or the hub, limiting the extent of the oscillation of the fan with respect to the rotor.

Abstract: An axial fan has a hub supporting blades. The hub is attached to a rotor of an electric motor at one or more points of connection by respective connecting devices. Each connecting device includes an annular damper, arranged in an opening of the hub, and through which a screw passes. Placed between the damper and the screw is a rigid element having one end resting against the rotor. The other end has an annular flange-like formation disposed between the damper and a head of the screw. The rigid element has an annular skirt which extends from the flange-like formation, around the damper, up to a preset distance from the hub of the fan, such that when the fan performs an oscillation greater than a predetermined extent, it impacts this skirt thereby limiting its oscillation.

Abstract: An electric fan, for cooling a heat exchanger of a motor vehicle, has an electric motor including a rotor and a stator, and an axial impeller including a central hub from which a plurality of blades extends. The hub is connected to the rotor at a number of connecting points. At each connecting point, the hub of the impeller is connected to the rotor by means of a respective connecting device including a resilient vibration damper.
